Arrowhead

Having trouble getting a feel for the map with no overview. From what I do see though this looks like a good start, better than most "inexperienced forgers." I do wonder about the plasma launcher in a 4 v. 4 map, but I suppose that can be done well.

 

Wow it looks pretty well made. Though in the third pic, the ramp looks a little off with the others. Anyways, I really like it.

 

First of all I must say that for an inexperienced forger this map is pretty dang good! I am really intrigued by the layout of the map. The center room is also very unique! I love the many height variations that you have incorporated into this map. Now, on to some things that I believe you could tweak. When running through this in forge the very first thing I noticed was some pieces that were a bit bumpy. One of these many places would be in the room that is shown in your third picture. Now, a few minor bumps here and there is not a big deal, and is hardly noticeable when playing a game. But there are several places where if you are walking you almost come to a complete stop. This can be an easy fix.
The easiest way to fix this would be to select the object, hold the left stick down and tap the right bumper until they are almost flush! Easy fix and I would recommend doing this throughout your map. My second major concern would be in your forth picture. As I said before I love the level changes, but your highest point on the map concerns me! After running through this in forge I could only see one way up to your highest point and that was through a teleport. This concerns me from a competitive standpoint. It would be very easy to camp up there and the only way people could reach you would be through that teleport or by using jetpack! I personally love the jet pack, and I really feel like this map is catered towards the jetpack. The problem is that not everyone, likes/uses the jet pack, and I would not advice forcing a player to use any certain armour ability to be successful! A good competitive map should cater to multiple AA's. So my major suggestion for this map would be to try and add another route or two up to the top area, that way people using sprint or other AA's can access it through more than one point! I'm sorry this post is so long, but I believe this map has the potential to be great with a few minor tweaks! I hope my suggestions might help you!

 

I remember this map from awhile ago. I am interested to see the changes you made, and I hope you made other routes up to the top portion of the map. I am at work right now, but this is q'ed to download, and will edit my post to tell you how it plays. Anyways, like I said before, interesting concept.

 

I definetly like how you kept the same style throughout your map; Which would explain the name. The layout is also pretty original. Without gameplay Id give it a 7.0. Gameplay could add or take away from the overal rating.

The way this map look reminds me of a Halo 2 map for some reason.

 

Well, I finally was able to check your map out and noticed the changes. If I remember correctly you had a back room that you completely took out on this version? I also noticed that you smoothed out the areas that I mentioned before, which made the map look nicer! You also added a couple of grav lifts to push you up to the top level. Now, I would say that all these changes are good, but I still think there are some things that could be added. I still think you need at least one walkway going up to the top, I also think you back hallway at the top is far to small. A good rule of thumb is that you need to atleast fit two spartans through any walkway. If you would like anymore imput you can add me on XBL(Availablemoth)and I would be more than happy to show you what I am thinking.

 

Very nice implementation of the rock theme. I love the aesthetics in your last picture as well. I did spot some rough spots in some of the pictures, though; do they reflect v2 of the map, or are they still the originals?
