    Very interesting design. I like it. Any natural structures replicated (such as gorges, hills, swamps, etc.) are always interesting to me. And it looks well done without too many advanced forging techniques, which is quite a feat. Nice job.

    The only thing i have against your map is that it looks very easy to escape. if you have any remaining budget or objects, you should look into making it un-escapable.

    Yeah escaping may be an issue. But you have to stand on someone and grenade jump aswell, so please be a good sport and don't try and escape.

    I may revisit and try to modify if it becomes a big problem.

    Thanks

    If it takes two people to escape, and it is for 2v2, Halo 3 logic suggests that few teams will decide the best way to win is to have one player jump out of the map, and the other player get teamed up on. The only issue is that the player could jump on the wall, and use the top as a special place to go to.

    To combat escaping, and I know this is a lot of work for a small problem, you should merge the top column level of the gorge to slant in a little bit. This way, you cant shimmy up the wall, and instead have to perfectly line up a grenade and jump at the right angle which is difficult.

    Hope I was helpful.

    As for the map, it is a wonderful and symmetric design which can be difficult. It looks great for 2v2 with BR starts. The aesthetics are decent, but unfortunately now any sandbox map looks overused in terms of style.

    the layout of the map is very good. reminds me of sanctuary in halo 2. escaping may be a problem though
