This one has potential, send it my way for Into The Forge testing and testing for ATN, you got my attention. Xdemption
Never get tired of this theme. It looks so good in almost all natural Forerunner settings and of course, there's the added edge of these structures canonically being on Installation 05 (or as some would say, 'nostalgia value'.) Cover is pretty excessive however, especially near the center, (but not the exact center) and I can see those massive rocks near the middle on either side being pretty hindering for either vehicle movement or sightline control. It looks incredibly easy to get behind them safely and I can see the Ghost getting hijacked before making any sort of impact, from people jumping out from behind these. Removing these rocks would stress more coordinated pushes, and would still provide plenty of cover with the side structures, mini towers, bushes, rocks, and other blocks in the center. I'd also suggest removing the stone blocks supporting the Plasma Pistol spawns. It's basically a free EMP if someone gets behind there and crouches (it's pretty easy to walk to.) I doubt the plasma pistols themselves would need moving though. If you want a more concrete example of what I mean, you can find the 'autosave' version under my GT with all the proposed changes. GREAT map. Hope you enjoyed this minor critique.
Thanks for taking a look and the feedback! I'm working on getting the map tested so I'm definitely open to tweaking the map for the best possible gameplay.
Haven't played it yet but it looks great! I really really like the layout and I can never get tired of the old school forerunner architecture. It just feels so 'Halo' to me. I think maybe a tree or 2 could be removed in the middle seeing as there is lots of cover on the map as a whole. That would open up a couple of sightlines. That's just my opinion, not saying it's right. Maybe that was your intention. Anyways, I love it. Have to see how it plays, but if it plays like I think it will, I would put it as top 3 for me with White Cell and Sentinel. Good job man, I'm sure you spent a lot of time on it. It payed off
Thanks man, I really appreciate the kind words! I am going to try to get the map tested and then see what adjustments I should make when it comes to sight lines and what not.
