    it looks great but the effects are questionable as long as you keep those kill balls there, although they do sort of add to the whole purgatory feel. Overall it looks promising and you have my download
    5/5

    EDIT: After playing around on this map a bit more, I have a little more input. For one, the FFA spawns are terrible. There should be starting spawns for both FFA and team games. Also, you should try to make as many gametypes available for this as possible. (I've heard CTF isn't compatible. That's a problem). I also removed the kill ball and effects in forge, and the map is three times better. It makes it look more like Sanctuary, and you don't have to worry about the annoying sound of the kill ball. Oh, and just wondering, why was the effect hidden in an object? I had to delete everything to find it :(

    Another problem with the middle structure is the size. It seems very cramped, and the center itself is off center. As I said in my first post, make sure you interlock everything you can. Also, in Sanctuary you could easily grenade jump to the top of the center structure. In this map the top is too high. This may not seem like a very big deal, but I think that it is an important aspect that you need to have in order to make the map feel more like Sanctuary.

    The forging on the map looks very rushed and sloppy in places. It is also very easy to break, but I don't think you could fix that due to the budget. I would definitely make a v2. I might even suggest rebuilding the map from scratch. Try to make sure the center structure is actually in the center, and interlock a lot more. There are way too many gaps in this version. (And don't forget the FFA spawns)

    Good luck, I'll be expecting a v2 :)

    I believe this is the first Sanctuary Remake that is made somewhere other than the crypt. And it looks good! I like the look more than when it was in the crypt.

    5/5

    Overall, this map is pretty awesome, but it needs some cleaning up. I think that you made it the right feel and all, the most accurate I have seen, but it just seems a little messy in some areas. I'll be looking forward to a V2 from you.

    This map is really really good. I think this is probably the best remake I've ever seen actually. The only problem is that I was able to grenade jump out of the map and that would definitly pose a problem if being played in a match.

    From looking at the pictures, I'm already pretty impressed with it. But I'll download this map and give you my impressions after I try it out.

    Judging by the pictures, this looks really really good. I'll download. And, where did you hide the gloomy effects ball? I was reading the other comments and someone said the gloomy ball was hidden.

    As some of you have asked:

    THE FX BALL IS HIDDEN IN ONE OF THE STONE PLATFORMS TO THE RIGHT OF A BASE.

    It can be seen in the fifth picture.
    I don't remember what side though.
    Just delete them both and you will find it.

    Thanks for the info.


    This is a good map, just a little too dark for my taste. But, now that I know where to find the gloomy fx ball, I think I'll like it even more.

    Is your V2 coming out anytime soon? I've been anxiously checking this thread. It's been bookmarked. Please, release V2 soon.

    I've been busy lately so I have not been working on a V2. But, I am going to start soon. Especially since the deadline is approaching. Please comments are greatly appreciated. Also, what do you guys think is more important, aesthetics or to make the map unbreakable? Please tell me because I am trying to figure out a way to make the map unbreakable but it will cost some aesthetics.

    Nicely done! I'm gonna check this one out. I don't suppose you can trick jump on top of the center structure like in H2?
