    This looks pretty good, but a little open under the platform. I would also remove the killballs, because they make an ungodly noise that many find displeasing.

    Other than that, very good for a first post.

    Overall 7/10, Needs more cover, and less killballs

    First impressions:
    • The layout looks nice.
    • The map is nicely forged... I don't see any major problems.
    • Nice design of the large base.
    • Kill Balls need to go.
    • Shield doors need to go.
    • Too many power weapons. Get rid of the shotguns and the hammer and add one sniper and more Battle Rifles.
    • In the back area on the last picture where the warthog and mongoose spawn, consider placing some sort of structure there. That section of the map seems very bare.

    This is a very good first map. It's a lot better than most other people's first map.

    Hmmm looks like a good first post. At least the pictures work... Anyway a quick tip, take your screenshots from a game of slayer and go into free camera, this makes the pictures look better.
    As for the map itself it looks alright. My only qualm with the items are the kill balls. They make an annoying noise and can be fairly distracting during gameplay. If your map is asymmetric (different on both sides) than try to make both sides equal.
    Anyway this looks like an above average first post. Keep up the great forging!

    Thank you for the comments like i said greatly appreciated. I didn't realize how unpopular kill balls are lol. As for the weapons i totally agree with lessening up the power, i forgot to include that there is 1 sniper already on the platform that is out of sight in these shots. tweaks will be made for sure. Also, one question...after i do tweak the map do i simply start a new thread for the new map? or delete this thread and then post new? hah, ignorance thy name is McSMOKE

    Great layout, and I would also remove the killballs, in some situations it's okay, but this one isn't. I also suggest you put more cover out.

    Other than that 8/10
