    Hey all. I just want to share with you my BTB map, Tears of Joy. I'm not really looking for any feedback at the moment because I've already iterated and tested for months, but if you feel the urge to break away from playing and come all the way back to this thread to leave feedback it's welcome.

    I'm gonna make this quick cause nobody likes text.

    Vehicles: 1 Banshee (180), 2 Falcons (150), 4 Warthogs (60), 4 Ghosts (60), 4 Mongoose (30).

    Power Weapons: 1 Fuel Rod (150), 2 Plasma Launchers (180), 2 Snipers (150), 2 Rockets no reload (100), 2 Grenade Launchers (120).

    Other Weapons: ARs, Magnums, Plasma Pistols, Needlers, Needle Rifles, Turrets, Shotguns (no reload), and a spiker.

    There are 6 plasma grenades, 4 frag grenades, 7 health packs, and 1 camo powerup on the map as well.

    Each base has a mancannon and teleporter to help infantry move about the map swiftly. This map utilizes a medium-large space and plays BIG, but it is not a "heavies" map (no tanks, lasers, etc). Aesthetics have slowly been reduced in favor of superior performance (currently no issues), but I still think it looks good while playing. The design provides cover and paths both for and from all vehicle and infantry types. I have also done a bunch of small things to balance the natural terrain in the space I've chosen to achieve near-symmetry.

    It's impossible to capture the whole map in 1 screen-shot for my thumbnail, so here's an in-game flythrough and some pics to grab your interest if you made it this far.
