    "The war still rages on in this close combat battleground."

    This map is designed for symmetrical games of teams up to 4 each. It has elements of vehicular gameplay, as well as close combat. Each side is symmetrical. A Shotgun lies within the middle.

    OK, from your overview I have to say It looks fantastic! The only fallback I can see is there are two choppers basically beside each other, which can damage the gameplay. I would just say remove the choppers simply because the ghosts serve that purpose.
    EDIT: WOOT FIRST CMNT! :]

    I think first of all you have too many vehicles for this map. The inside is very closed off, and it would be easy to keep away from those in vehicles circling about the map. Secondly, the Warthog next to the power drain is a bad idea. The power drain might as well not be there, for it will likely be picked up by whoever gets to the hog first as long as they don't want to die. It's just less effective there.

    Ok, I'll remove the vehicles. Shall I just keep the Ghosts and Mongooses? Or I might just delete the ghosts and keep the Mongooses. Thanks for the feedback.

    The only real issue I have with the map is the vehicle set. You intend this map for teams of 4, and, by my count, there are 12 vehicles present on it. Even for a BTB map, that leans toward excessive.

    The list of vehicles, as observed from the screenshots:
    - 2x Ghost
    - 2x Chopper
    - 2x Warthog
    - 2x Prowler
    - 4x Mongoose

    That is far too many vehicles, especially on such an enclosed map. Apart from that, the map looks well put together and smooth. 4/5.
