    Ok so this is my first competitive map. It is Rebirth as in the title, It is an almost symmetrical medium sized map. I say almost symmetrical because the bases are slightly different because flipping the Tower 2 building made me add a small bridge to keep the doorways aligned (it has no major impact on gameplay)

    It is set up for all Matchmaking game variants except for BTB, Invasion Variants, and Race Variants.

    The Breakdown:
    => The top of the map consist of open areas with a few buildings giving you a height advantage, but not a range. The map is small enough to make good use of ARs and other automatic weapons, but a DMR never hurt anybody.

    => The bottom of the map is a more sectioned off area with the Sword Room at the heart of the map. With more cover than open shots the bottom of the map becomes the safest route from fire but possibly a deadly ambush for the unexpecting.

    => The gameplay is fast paced but it is also determined on how a team plays. Is your team holding off the downstairs or are the shooting it out for top control. Power can change very quickly once a player goes down but upon respawn theyre never to far to go. A key note is for asymmetric gametypes (including Stockpile & Headhunter) that the spawns do not play Red vs Blue base but rather Rocket Building vs Sniper Bridge.

    Power Weapons:
    => 1x Rocket Launcher with 4 rounds total
    => 1x Sniper Rifle with 12 rounds total
    => 1x Energy Sword with the full 100
    => 2x Shotguns with 12 rounds in each total to avoid a massive amount of Shotgun ammo

    Other Weapons:
    => 4x DMR
    => 2x Needle Rifle
    => 2x Plasma Repeater
    => 1x Plasma Pistol
    => 1x Needler
    => 8x Frags
    => 8x Plasma

    I think that he means you should put railings onto the map, as there is many areas where you could easily fall off accidentally, simply by backing up.

    The only area without railings is the sniper bridge but it was never intended to have them. Otherwise every other area has a railing to avoid the problem of walking off. The sniper bridge was designed to be a long dangerous stretch.

    Looks awesome! I'll dl and run through it tonight.

    - I think what he means by "too open to fall" is that there are a lot of small walkways and not one large floor for people to jump all over the place. And almost everything is open, meaning no walls to protect you if you jump.

    Examples of maps that may be too open to fall: Pinnacle and The Cage

    Examples of maps that are not: Reflection, Countdown and Hemorrhage

    It is supposed to be open up top to make the map feel larger than it is.

    It looks great. Reminds me of what Atom should have been.

    I will download this in a bit. By what "Atom" should have been, do you mean it has a lot of similarities. I really dislike Atom and I think the main reason is the whole underneath portion is very unworked and most people stay down there. It's quite annoying but it does have better sightlines then the top. I'll check this one shortly, like the looks of it from the shots.

    Those glass walls will cause major screen lag when looking through them towards the center of the map. Use something without glass or just remove them.

    great map, fun to play; keep up the great work
    The balance of weapons and map set up was superb, and atheistically pleasing to see with very wide spaces that lead to great small battles overall
    I give your map a 5/5 if I had to score it =)

    Have a Wonderful day
