This looks aight. Maybe alittle open in the middle, and kind of cluttered. Um try adding more larger bases becuase i can't really tell where alot of the fighting will take place with this map. Don't get me wrong, the structures you have are original and pretty cool, but i feel like the map is lacking cover for both a banshee and a hornet..
I remember testing this... Me and my friend got 22 kills in hornets... A little unbalanced but it was fun. It was a certain download for me
The actual map looks alright, maybe a little too open. I'm not really sure what the point of the geomerged blocks in the sand is though. And it seems like whoever could control the banshee and hornet would just dominate and everyone on the ground would always be dying. My advice is to either delete the banshee and hornet or add more aerial vehicles so it's just an all out air fight.
Nice map, but could you tell me how you geomerge into the dunes of sandbox? I've been wondering that for ages now.
Well, first the bad. You've got too many air vehicles and not enough anti-air weapons. I suggest adding a pair of symmetric Splazers and removing rockets, they're basically useless against any pilot with a smidgen of skill anyways.. The map is cluttered, yet still far too open. The good is that it looks pretty nice, I'm digging the geomerged boxes in the dunes and the sniper tower (Though it is too open and unprotected, even for a sniper tower.) and the bases look pretty sweet. I'll throw in a 3.5, maybe even a 4.5 if you even out the vehicles.
Add more arriel cover from the banshee and hornet, like half the map witha roof at least. But you can keep the geomerged boxes without cover since they seem to have alot of ground cover, so thats good. Make the roof either 1 1/2 or 3 high. 1 1/2 to stop ariel from going in 3 to make it so they can go in but its a big risk, but I'm not sure about these so i would test them. Also the banshee and hornet soawn right beside each other, big nono. And make the hornet a transport. Its weaker with no missiles. But if you do place them together, place them in a place where theres scant to no cover. Risk vs Reward = Get mowed down vs Get areail And like the guy above, make it have two splazers, like sandtrap. but keep the rockets, can be good against ground, but make it have no clips and a long respawn time. There seems to be also a LOT of equipment and alomst no grenades, only two. Some maps have like 16 all together. Also, im not diging the thin/tall structures. COME ON MAN, sandtrap has a HUGE budget
Thus map was a Failure in my opion i guess in a lot of us...v.2 will be coming soon and you will not be let down =)
well good luck, also ask some good forgers some questions about balancing the map. Pls message me when its done so i can see it
