    I like the tubes overlooking the map. Your base designs look very nice as well. My only concern is how open the bottom areas of the map are. But these are just pictures. I will have to play a game to see if my opinion is correct. But everything else just shows the time you put into the map.

    4.5/5

    I just did a forge-through, and I'm impressed by some of the unique geometry. The bases are fine, but nothing special. It's very bumpy on top and you should have made the ceilings level. I like the use of wood bridges, I think they are an underused item. That's something to fix for v2. I like what you did with the obelisks and the ramps, I've never seen that done before. The center structure is what really blew me away though. The dome is spectacular. You used the light orb perfectly. The perches are also well-done, and the "snake" theme is a nice aesthetic touch.

    Great job, I only hope this map plays as well as it looks.

    bumpy


    Thanks for the comments. What part of the top of the base is bumpy? I would like to fix that if you found a part that isn't level. Is it the bridge circles?

    Very cool idea with the snakes. Good aesthetics and overall design. I also like the central structure.

    Atlas

    Thanks Wally. I am going to submit this map to Atlas for Matchmaking consideration, but I definitely won't hold my breath. There have been so many great maps released for Sandbox.

    i downloaded this map awhile ago, but i never replied to this. I liked playing on it, but i could stand at the top of the snakes and camp. There is a power drain there so when you hear someone coming up the man cannons you can just throw it or throw grenades. And i could also stand on the blue light and camp there too. One thing that would make it cool would be to make a bridge connecting the two snake heads, which would help a little with the camping problem. I give it a 3/5 because it was fun minus being able to camp. hope i helped!

    Grunt Flag?

    Ummm........I'm really not sure what you're talking about. I just looked through the pictures about 5 times to try and figure it out. I don't see anything that resembles black water or a grunt flag(not really sure what a grunt flag is). Directly in the center of the map there is a circular patch of grass which is just a tin cup merged into some huge blocks, maybe that is the black watery effect you speak of. As for the grunt flag, I don't even know what to look for....maybe a miniature flag, but I don't see anything on Venom that fits the description. Are you sure you didn't mean to reply to someone else's map thread with these comments?

    Really great map here, man. Gotta love a map with multiple levels of elevation, and the center structure is perfectly forged. The snake towers add great aesthetic value to the map and allow for some good surprise attacks from above. Those circular wooden bridges on each side make me think of dead palm trees for some reason. They kinda give an organic feel to the map. Again, great job on your first Sandbox map, gonna be keeping this one for a while. Hit me up on Live this weekend and we can see if we can get some games going on it.

    I cannot emphasize how much ass this kicks. Probably a whole truckload of ass.

    Palms

    Thanks again, RunTime, for helping test this one out. Lol, at the dead palms. I never looked at them like that. I put bridge circles in most of my maps, it gets a little bland when everything is square or rectangle.

    Thanks for the comments. Glad you liked it. I don't want to take anything away from skulls, though. That's one of my favorite Sandbox maps so far.

    This is really good for your first sandbox map. My favorite part is either the interlocked obelisks or the wooden bridges interlocked so that they form a star. Overall 4.9/5
