    I'm honored.

    Sorry, I missed that part of your previous comment. Merging 1 corner wall into the ground is easy. I just used doors on both sides (4 total, to make sure it went in evenly) and set up boxed on either side of the wall.

    Getting them all lined up was harder, and I think my method was a lot more complicated than it needed to be. It involved setting corner walls on top of already sunken corner walls and a lot of 30 second spawning new rounds. I don't think I could even explain it entirely if I tried. There're definitely better ways than what I did.

    And everyone else, thanks. Feel free to bump the bungie forums for me. I always like to see the weird stuff people put in there... Like Neverless' Kentucky Tango song.

    It's not even a song really, more like a ditty. It's an incomplete song.

    Well, it happened. And it couldn't have been better. I grabbed the flag and came out the base down the single set of stairs. With perfect timing, Cosmic pulled up with the trail of needles following his hog. I hopped in and we sped toward the score point.

    Here's me in the passenger seat with Cosmic behind the wheel. Gunner? We don't need no stinkin' gunner! And you'll notice that it says "Sudden Death!" in the corner. This was our last chance to tie red team.

    Here's a view from the 'Capture Cam'. (Capture Cam is a registered trademark of Furious Enterprises.)

    I celebrate by tea-bagging the score point. Cosmic celebrates by throwing a Power Drain at my head.

    We lost, but I loved the game. And I love the map. If Bungie ever gets around to doing a community map variant matchmaking hopper, this is a perfect map to use.

    I think I may steal Furious's picture story idea....its just too cool. And that ramp is just beautifully crafted. Everyone should be jealous of it awesomeness.

    i had a waft around this map last night in forge and i have to say that its mighty impressive ... the building in the corner is confusing, yet still memorable enough for you to know the twists and turns after a couple of passes through.

    Pretty cool map. Some of your scenery looks strange though.

    Kentucky Tango... man what a rediculous name. Cosmic Rick has crossed the genius/insanity line on this one. This map is built specifically for one-sided objective games, and it wins fun points if that's what you're looking for. I have played 1 flag, 1 bomb, and shotty snipers, and it works for all of those, but asymmectrics are what counts on this one.

    The Tango is built very well. I can get the image in my head of a mountainous countryside despite the shipping containers and metal walls that it is made of. The star shaped platforms are distinguished and the waterfall and suspension bridge are beautiful, although these ideas are about as far from the Foundry environment as it gets.

    The defense base is very elaborate. The layout is not intuitive, which is why Rick insists that players familiarize themselves with it beforehand. This is OK, diverse and interesting gameplay would not be possible without some complex level designs, but I prefer maps that a player can just jump into without having to research first.

    This is another quality product of Cosmic Rick, which he is somehow able to put out on a weekly basis. I'm starting to think that "Cosmic Rick" is a front for a sweat-shop forge operation with a small army of wall-straighteners.

    Enjoyability: 8/10
    Durability: 9/10
    Aesthetics: 9/10
    Originality: 7/10
    Balance: 8/10

    Pred's Overall Score: 8/10

    Wow. Furious: I just saw the EPIC CAP screenshot series. Don't know how I missed it. Thanks for displaying the awesomeness.

    Pred and Sun: The base is a bit complex, but it's not any harder to get used to than any Bungie original. And as for the army of wall-straighteners, I think that thought is sweeping the forums, lol. I have another map in the oven as well. Disgusting, isn't it?

    Yesterday I played CTF with Furious, Cosmic, Predicide and some others on this map, I loved it. It is so incredibly creative. It is one of the top forge maps. It doesn't just have one stand out breakthrough twerk, it has many. A few would be, the bridge, the water, the offense base ramp, the flamethrower star, and a bunch of other cool. stuff. This is definately worth a download.

    I really like how the base turned out and the water hazard is a perfect touch.
