    Looks good. Check out The Thursday Thirteen and Forged Friday in the forums to submit your map for testing

    Thanks, got myself signed up for both of those. It's hard to find testing lobbies anymore.

    Pretty good designs! Feels a little like a mix of H2 and H4.

    Good Halo 1 feeling here, can't judge layout or gameplay but I like da way you tried to forge unique forerunner forms !

    We played this with 6v6 so I don't think I can really give a proper review but I'll still share some thoughts. Firstly, the aesthetics on the map are great. I love the way the platform moves up and down opening up that lower corridor to. The layout, as far as I'm concerned, was pretty solid. Gameplay was, of course, focused around the central structure (perhaps to much). Vehicles don't usually tend to work in 4v4 maps as a general rule but I didn't feel the ghost was to overpowered though I reckon many people will suggest it's removal. Somebody did suggest the central room was to open but I disagree on that point, just something to bear in mind. Hope this helps you improve it further.

    Thanks for the test. I have noticed that traffic through top room tends to be high, but so far the rest of the map still feels like it is being used so I think it's alright. I am considering whether there need to be a few extra windows looking into the mid room but I'm not yet sure how to accomplish that. The ghost so far has proven both powerful but able to be countered. It's also definitely staying. ;)

    It looks like I was only linking to my file share and not the map itself and I forgot to make it visible after some changes last night. Both are fixed.
