    Fix your wall. I see places I can escape. Also, don't add cover. Add map Geometry. The geometry IS your Cover.

    And on the sides I don't really like the single stairs just pointing out of the side things. Don't really have anything else to say about that.

    What bluejay said and also in mlg all movable scenery items have to have a weaponholder ontop to prevent them from movig. Overall it looks well forged but still just an average mlg map.

    geometry as cover means dont use barricades, dumpsters or random walls as cover. If your map is too open and lacks cover then add more buildings- doubleblocks and walls arranged to flow into the actual map. Dont set down blocks and walls where you see necessary, make them part of the map. Make them agree with the rest of the scenery.

    Think of when you are getting shot at, you run for cover. Sometimes that cover is a random object, sometimes you hide behind a building.
    I will bring to example Ghost Town, Look at the giant wall with the tunnel under it. The one near overshield spawn. Bungie wanted to divide these playing areas, instead of placing random cover, they made a giant wall.

    Well said. ALl you really have to do is think of a Bungie made map. They don't just lay cover anywhere, but create geometry where the sightlines are too good, where the place is too open, etc.
