    This map features it's own floor ceiling, and walls to make it feel like it's something completely different from Foundry, where it was built. The ceiling covering the map allows it to have a different lighting and look the Foundry and helps to make the map impossible to escape in player mode. The map is approximately the same size as Midship, with it's design centered around a large, three story room.

    [​IMG]

    On the bottom floor of this room, some sections of the ground can be destroyed by high caliber ammunition or grenades. Once it is destroyed, the resulting hole allows players to access a small basement area underneath the map. From down here, players can down one of two hallways, where at the end they will be launched to the second floor.

    [​IMG]

    The map also features another two story room down a small set of stairs from the main room. In here, the ground shakes as explosions occur from grenades or gravity hammer attacks. When it shakes, it creates a "Shockwave effect." The map plays best with 4-6 players, and it's size is setup such that it only supports 2-8 players well; the spawns allow you to go up to 16 though.

    Almost all of the features in this map are things i personally have never seen, and are very original.

    -Pallet floor
    -dumpster floor
    -the fact that its 4 levels
    -etc.


    All of those things definitely makes the map unique. But I'm sorry to admit that after playing through it, i found it containing a fair amount of sloppy forging, and some good forging, but still a lot of it needed to be cleaned up.

    There is no question, this is a great map, and i have not doubt that this should be featured, but just a lot of sloppy forging, a lot of room to improve. I'm gonna give it a high rating though because of its originality.

    * * * * 1/2​


    [EDIT] beautifully set up post. Really like the changing pictures, and really cool image/collage ;)

    This has some very unique features, the use of moveable objects as floors was great. But 45 second respawn on a Gravity Hammer is too short, although I havent tested it, that seems to be way too short of a respawn for the Hammer.

    I like the feel of indoor maps. The map looks quite big aswell, considering that it's indoor.

    This map looks unbelieveable. I've been getting sick of the usual Foundry maps, but this was made in a completely different manner. Great job!

    It looks really good, I like the pallet idea, but the teleporters kindof takes away from the feeling. BUT they were nessicary so I don't blame you :)

    wow. This took effing forever to get featured! The pallet floor is one of the most original map ideas i have ever seen, right up there with the conveyor belt on Pallet Parade! My friend was playing halo for the first time and when jumped to commit suicide, (why, i dont know), he just fell through the flooor and got so scared he threw my controller across the room! 5/5 great job.
