    Description: Pretty fun map, I spent a good ammount of time testing it and making sure the gameplay was just right. If you'll notice there is some very interesting scenery such as the truck that crashed into the gate. This map is a slayer/mlg map or kinda like a bungie map. It's compatable with all gametypes. There is to bases/sides for each team, and ofcourse a great balance of weapons/equipment/powerups and cover. Check it out.

    OK, parts of it are really cool: the truck crash feels very alive, and helps move the map into a "realistic" sort of category, making the whole experience more fun. However, it is severely undercut by other parts of your map. I don't understand why you had a realistic truck crash in one part and random mazing walls in another part. Why do you have part of the map modeled to immerse the player in a created world, while the other part seems like geometry filler?

    You've got too much potential to do things like that. Either pick a maze feel, or pick a realistic feel, or pick something else. But don't mix those feels and expect the map to have a certain aura to it...it's like mixing dogs and expecting a valuable purebred. Not happening.

    You've got some good stuff going for you: try taking the bad stuff and working it into a scene with the other stuff. Ask yourself: why the truck crash? What happened to the truck driver? Did he swerve? What did he swerve to miss? How about this wall right here? And so on, till your map is brilliant.

    Yea, Lance is right. Why is there a truck in a maze ???. Anyway, the rest is great. Also, what is the weapon selection?
