    this map looks very well made. You didn't overpower the map and everything looks nicely placed. A very good map especially for a new user. As soon as I have free space on my xbox I will download it. You didn't mention if you made it compatible for all gametypes though. Good job : )

    This map looks like it could be fun. I dont see much interlocking, but you've alligned allmost perfectly so it completely cancels it out. Great job, it looks awesome!

    This map is OK, but it needs more cover.

    thanks everyone

    ill add some more cover to the open spaces infront of each base. it might take some time considering i ran out of money.
    and i have no idea how to "Interlock" or "mold" peices together

    Hey I like your map, it plays well and it's fun, but I hate to say this... I've seen tons of map that have used almost the exact same concept of cutting the map in two and making bases. Maybe if you put something in this map that set it apart from other maps it would probably get a ton more downloads. It needs something that will enhance the action and the pace of the game on this map. You should try to brainstorm some ideas to try to make the map more action packed. Although I did say some negative things about this map, it is still well built and has good game dynamics. Hope I helped, good luck with future forgery creations.

    Agreed.

    Nothing beats a symmetrical map for 8v8. Very well done.

    The map looks pretty good, it kinds of reminds me of elongation from halo 2, and your thread is even better... I like it when new members like yourself post map correctly the first time, It's confusing for a lot of people... I would however use more interlocking, and use double boxes to make sure that your walls are all perfectly straight! I haven't actually checked it out yet, so this is just what I get from the pictures, welcome to forge hub I look forward to seeing more creations by you in the future!

    thanks you all agian
    i ahvent made any changes to this map yet, but i will soon

    i also have two more maps on the way
    one called "Command Center" witch is pretty much done but i finished it before i knew about Interlocking, so its not perfect

    i started on another one just tongiht that will take me a LOOONG ASS time to finish because im using interlocking to make it look really nice. its going to look VERY similar to Sanctuary from halo 2

    mystery,
