Hey all, I have seen a few Star Wars AT-AT’s that looked sort of ok but played very badly, just thrown together, so I decided to go all out and recreate the BATTLE OF HOTH, with my main goal being on large vehicle crazy action and a cool looking base that was also functional. I have spent about 20 hours building this getting all the lines clean and lots more time playing it with my friends to iron out the bugs. It has three plasma turrets, a chopper as a main gun in the head, 4 ghosts set in defensive positions along the body and even a “tie fighter†hangar at the back. It is so sweet as a Rebel running across the snow looking at this thing firing down on you with all guns blazing. The storm troopers spawn in a sealed cave with a full armory to choose from, teleports give you two choices to access the AT-AT, one sends you to the top floor and the other to the bottom. I deleted some walls so the layout can be seen in the cross section below. The AT-AT is very well armored so I have beefed up security for the Rebels base as well, including a full spread of weapons, vehicles and shielding. There are three ways to get into the AT-AT from the outside, you can just fly up there, the rear left leg has a man cannon going up inside it to gain access to the bottom level, but my favorite way is to use the massive man cannon near the teleport cave which will send you landing perfectly onto it’s head. There are only two weapons on the map outside of the bases due to running out of forge dollars so choose carefully after respawn, a sword through the teleport cave and a missile pod near the Rebels end. Both have been placed so the time to get them is even for both teams. I have found the lack of weapons on map still works well, a minute in and there are guns on the ground everywhere. I have set this map up for slayer, multi bomb assault and territories. All games are two 6-minute rounds each so both sides get a shot at attacking and defending, PP and BR start. This map does come into its own for 16-player slayer. I have put loads of effort into making and testing this map and the game types so I hope that you enjoy it as much as me and my mates, if so spread it around.

Way to be supportive and offer no points on how ot improve it. I think that this one looks more accurate than the others. However, I can't judge the gameplay until I actually play it. I look forward to testing out your creation.
I don't get why you put the B&W filter, it would look funny though with a grainy effect. Relive the days of Empire Strikes Back! Whoosh! Definitely seems more of an Aesthetic than a Comp map though, like the others said.
I didn't mean that it looked crap, I was saying that the other ones I've seen look more functional. One I've seen is enterable by the legs, his isn't. It does look good though, more aesthetic than competitive
I'm quite sure this map has been coppied from this map here!!!! Check it, unless he copied it off you but i doubt it cause hes got 429 posts The other guy's AT-AT looks better aswell
Sorry, but this is a general idea. Hundreds of people have done this, and the person in your link wasn't the first person. And if it's on a completely different part of the map, it's not copying. Please don't overreact. The map: it's ok. If the gameplay is amazing, it makes up for some of the downsides in the aesthetics. I think it would be a fun vehicle war.
I used the colourblind filter as it looks funky with multi coloured legs As for the idea of doing an AT-AT i know it's not original, this is just my version of it that i thought some of you guys might like, thats all.
Aesthetics: I think that AT-AT looks brilliant, except the legs are pretty ugly. All the rest is great though
Seriously guys lay off. it's a good map and this at-at looks better than the one in the picture you have to be stupid to think they are the same one
well some one finally made a battle of hoth with a at-at will DL note that just b/c his At-AT isn't the best It is still very playable with extreme bib bob
This is alot of what I like to call, "skills" Looks great, but maybe you could make one more of the legs enterable.
It looks like a great combination of aesthetics and improvizations conducive to challenging gameplay. Even if it doen't look exactly like the AT-AT of the films, the changes you made to promote functionality add to the aesthetic value of the map in my opinion. Good job on this map, and good luck on any future projects.
Looks great. i like the front view. mabey you could add some teleporters in it though to make it more playable.
