    overall the map layout is good, there is good aesthetics, it looks like the average good crypt map. it looks a tiny bit messy in some places, but overall it looks good. it almost seems like you could play a good game of territories/conquest on it.

    good forging, i give a 4.25/5

    WOOT, first post

    It looks very good. Normally I'm not a fan of shield doors but the way you use these looks like it works. Hmmm not much else I can say lol. Maybe add a weapons list or something like that. Nice work.

    EDIT: Haha oh. my bad I'm out of it if you know what I mean lol. I didn't see it.

    This looks pretty interesting. I like the shield doors around the Camo and you seem to have a nice design, with some wrap-arounds and good elevation variation. I'll give it a DL and take a closer peek. Good work

    Very nice map, I love the mancannons that take you to the top, I used the same idea in my map Ensnare. Great map will download

    Really good map i have to say. Looks like you spent alot of time and it paid off. One thing i see bad is the shield doors. The fact that the map has a shotgun and these shield doors is a very bad quality that in my opinion ruins the map. Let me explain:

    You have built something that is surrounded by shield doors and is closed all around. The camo inside the object also contributes to the bad effect this scenery has on the map. If someone takes the lead then all they have to do is take the shotgun and run inside the structure. They are now nearly invincible against all attacks, otherwise known as camping. Even worst in a 1 vs 1 game. I recommend either taking away two of the shield doors or lowering the top of the scenery to make it just scenery where no one can get in it.

    Other than that i see this as an excellently forged map. Though I don't have the map pack yet I look forward to playing on this map. 3/5

    (without camping effect 5/5)

    I'll need to try out some other options with the default weapons. Shotgun might need to go away. I'll test some more games tonight and report back with changes tomorrow.
