    This map only works with Team Slayer, One Flag, and One bomb. It's an assymetrical map so TS might not be so balanced. Most of the vehicles are pulled from Halo Wars so if you don't regconize them, that's why. Anyway I hope you enjoy the map; my friend, xPr0jEcTx FuRy, and I did put a lot of time into it so just comment, rate, and discriminate. But most importantly...

    Haha, this map made me laugh (in a good way). It is well done and as the post before me states, I dont think anyone would have come up with this idea so it is completely original which is good! 4/5

    One word.
    Wow.
    This map is amazingly forged as far as I can tell and very smooth in detail. I love how you made it a UNSC vs. Covenant map, and the Spirit and Vampires make give it that little touch that makes you want to download!

    A few non-important questions:
    1. Can you get to the Spirits, Vampires and Pelicans?
    2. Are the weapons Covenant vs. Human based?

    1. Much like The Pit the Vampires and shortsword are only accessible by spawn or a grenade jump. But being up there doesn't serve a huge advantage since they don't have much cover. One can also be spawned on the Peilcan but it is otherwise unaccessible. I was going to make an Airpad beside it but I didn't have enough room/objects/money. Everything else is accessible.

    2. No, the weapons are not Cov vs UNSC. That rutine usually starts problems. So the vehicles are the only things of human vs covenant nature.

    hell yeah this is the type of map that you should play the halo wars game type on this rocks! but i this it would be cool if you added the covy base and gave teleporters that you could go to the ships in the air bubble and you could find something like a sniper rifle and a battle rifle, depending on what race of ship you go to. this map would be so tite. (mabey not in the sky bubble but just bellow it)

    i think it would rock if you also added grav/man cannons on the ships to get from one to another easy.

    This looks awesome but I doubt it would play well. But I think you just created something that will be included in various maps to come. You should make this into an actual map because, although the vehicles are AWESOME, there is no real map. It's just an open battlefield. Throw in some short walls or make it look like it's mean for battles. Turn it into a warzone, not a drop zone (even thought that is the name). 5/5 for material, 1/5 for actual gameplay

    wow this looks great, love the use of all kinds of halo wars vehicles in it. looks wonderfully forged, and looks like you spent some time on all of that stuff. I can only say this looks epic. But is it balanced for team games? overall the map looks great. 5/5 for asthetics cant rate ill get a game on this later and re-rate accordingly. nice job, Kurty66 and xPrOjEcTx FuRy.

    I just played on this map a bit ago and aesthetically, it is pretty good, just needs a little more detail in things like the scarab, vampire, and elephant. It needs more weapons as well, like br's, smgs, assault rifles, something more. This seems to be more for aesthetic maps than competitive, but if you fix it up a little this could change.

    that scarab reminds me of the scarabs on my newest map im glad people are realizing that one giant scarab in the middle of the map is getting old and that you can make a map with a smaller scarab but not have it be the main attraction.

    As for the map it is a very original idea and i like it. I think these ships and stuff will be seen in more maps to come however i dont think it looks like it plays very well but i will dl to find out for right now here is my score for you 4/5 good job and i hope to see more from you in the future happy forging.

    cool idea. to the eye(i'm about to DL, haven't yet) every thing looks well forged and smooth. i don't know, maybe add a deployable grav lift if you have the money.

    I agree about the aesthetics. Maybe you should tell a mod to relocate this to the Aesthetic Maps section in the forums. This really shouldn't be in the Competitive section. I would suggest getting it move to a more appropriate section. Another thing you can do is, although this would suck, redo this map on a budget-glitched Sandbox. That way you have the vehicles, as well as some places for a true battleground.

    This is pretty unique, considering you managed to forge some descent stuff that is in Halo Wars. Although some things dont look exactly like it, i respect the effort that you put into the map. 4/5

    I downloaded this map, and overall I like it.
    vampires:pretty bland overall, and I dont see a real point of having them on the map.
    shadow:pretty dang awsome, one of the best here
    spirit:also really good, but the back could be a tiny bit more rounded
    firebase:probably the best, really accurate with a lot of detail. but a bit small
    scarab:not the best, really boxy for a scarab. the legs are also bad, it needs work.
    shortsword:same as vampire
    pelican: great design for the small size
    elephant:boxy, but good

    overall maybe delete some of the more useless vehicles(IE: vampire shortsword) use the items to improve the scarab and add non-vehicle scenery.

    It looks like a pretty good map overall, but the vehicles look REALLY plain. I give it a 3/5
