Wow looks like an amazing map from the pictures. The geomerging and the interlocking look great. One thing that stands out to me is the double walls where the flags are. The geomerging there is just amazing and the interlocking looks very clean. Very good idea there. So i download it and check it out on xbox. Then i will write a review for you.

Okay i was true to my word and here is your review.

Map Creativity 4.8/5
The map was very well forged and very original. The "b" signs interlocked with the double box was just great. That really added some nice scenery. Though i did deduct .2 points for having some things that are really over used like the fence walls being the catwalk thing. One thing that did catch my eye though was the sniper spawn. Great, Great job on that because that is the really first time i have seen that and i was completely satisfied due to the great interlocking and aesthetics.

Map Quality 5/5
Well this one was a no-brainer. While I was playing on the map, the fantastic interlocking and geomerging stood out to me in a second. Everything is just perfect in this section.

Weapon Layout 5/5
This one to is also great. The sniper spawn as I said earlier and had fantastic aesthetics as also as location. The place seemed easy to reach and I thought was a key part for gameplay. Everything else is placed out perfectly.

Weapon Choice 4.5/5
It would be much easier if you had a weapon list but when i was playing this map. I saw a normal choice of weapons. The brute shot, the sniper, the shotgun, the BRs. Nothing really stood out as a interesting weapon. An example would be maybe a flamethrower, a fuel rod gun, or something like a beam rifle. But thats only my opinion.

Gameplay Creativity/Quality 4.6/5
This one I thought was okay. The CTF on this map was just awesome. Was very intense and very sweet. Team Slayer, also pretty good. For some reason it just didn't really appeal to me. Nothing against you, i just didn't really care for it.

Overall 4.67/5
The aesthetics were good, especially the sniper spawn. The creativity was really good. To be honest, I thought it was butt-kickin good. The geomerging was great with the boxes and doubles walls, the interlocking was good with the bridges being connected with the boxes and the map was clean and well balanced as you said. Each team had a equal chance at the overshield and the shotgun. The Gameplay, like I said was okay, CTF was great but TS was just alright. The weapon layout was great. The weapon choice as I said had its ups and downs.

Well thats all for the review, I give the map an A- (4.67 overall)

Great Job and I hope you keep making some for butt-kickin maps!
