Laufsteg was made with the intent of having as many game-types on a relatively small map. The word Laufsteg is German for catwalk, an appropriate name for this map. The first version was called Atrium, but I got the advice of renaming because, as it turns out, Atrium is a fairly common map name. I hadn't seen any indoor maps with this kind of feel before and it was an idea I've had for a while, so I made it. Backstory! Originally a peaceful atrium near a military outpost, it has welcomed the war between the UNSC and Covenant. It was taken by the Covenant and was being used as a decompression zone for the Elites that just came from the front line. The UNSC has sent an elite team of Spartans to take it back, or to destroy it. Welcome to the fight soldier...

Video Walkthrough: YouTube - Laufsteg Map Walkthrough Most of the changes were in the sand pit area and weapon placement. If you want the version 1 map, look for Atrium by me. Special thanks to Spartan117_Chief for rendering the video for me. Please feel free to constructively criticize and give suggestions, I will look at them and possibly, if I like them, use them.
I really like the layout of this map and it is eyecatching, but the upper walkway's lack of cover worries me. Other than that great job!
I love how, different and unusual this map is. The layout is fine. The color usage and senery placement is great. The little things like in the water pit, you added green struts and braces to add a pop of color. The only thing that really worries me is you have WAY too many weapons. You don't need a weapon at every barricade. But other than that nice job, you got a DL. I try to try it out and repost.
