Solace (updated 1.5) Solace is a fairly small map that is made for 2v2 or 4v4 team battles. Is easily compatible with team slayer, two flag, stockpile, and oddball, though other gametypes such as assault or headhunter might have a few issues I'll fix soon I promise. Update! I've updated the map to include more playing space to give the teams more breathing room. The download link has been updated with the newest map version, but if you don't like it I also kept the original design in there as well, download for original can be found here. Feedback is appreciated!

While I like the simplicity of the design, I bet you could add some more floor space in some spots. Some of the bridges could easily work with a larger platform or structure between them, so long as it isn't from the Building section. This would probably let you add some more weapons as well, and axe a few health packs while you're at it. Definitely looks promising for smaller matches though.
At first I thought it looked to small but after a closer look it appears like it could work well for a 2v2. As chrono said add some more 'dance floor', definitely would aid in its gameplay.
I personally love your map. The simplicity of the design makes it even more complex to understand. A nice clean look to maps these days keeps people downloading them, and that's just what I did. Though lacking in combat heatspots, the weapon choices are solid and the gameplay is smooth, though I can't see this being used for anything other than Team Slayer, Juggernaut, and CTF, it's just too small for those games, but at the same time it is perfectly sized for the ones it works with.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I couldn't help but notice how small the map was. I didn't realize it before, but I took notice of it and added a lot to the map! I guess it was one of those things where I made it so it looked perfect to me, but in hindsight it wasn't finished. I posted the map prematurely before it was even finished (I thought it was but I was wrong). Hope the thread doesn't die now because everyone thinks it's small D: I updated the map download to include the new and improved map, but I know some people liked the simple, small design of the map so I kept it in my fileshare and the link is edited into the original post. Please tell me what you think of the updated map. Hopefully I can get it to balance out perfectly. And hopefully I can do it quickly before this gets old and dies! :O
