3. Vehicles? I noticed that they weren't in the budget glitch. Did you try them out?

Alright, that post was smaller than most great posts but, still contained everything that I wanted in a post, good questions. I'll answer by their numbers.

1. I'm not sure about what you meant here. Maybe that the geometry adds cover, but not a second level to the map, which it does truly lack. If that's what you mean, I hit the item limit, which I guess could be considered an excuse, but adding a second level does help game play, but that wasn't my objective on this map.

2. Yes, true, one reason is because there is only one "true" base, mainly because when I made the map I had attackers/defender in mind. I added ramps in the attacker's BR tower, the sneak path to the defender's base, and the fencewall ramp to the oversheild walkway. But yes, I do understand what you're saying, more ramps would be nice for easier game play, if I had more items left :(. I just sometimes don't think about this type of stuff, I'm a no life on halo and jumping is NP for me :P.

3. I'm really glad you brought this one up rusty eagle, and yes, I had a full infinite budget glitch map, with every item. I tried a ghost in the map and it wasn't over powering, but it didn't really do anything in the game. It was hard to get around in and got jacked and stuck so constantly, that no one used it or got near it :P. But yeah, a ghost or mongoose would have worked.

4. Yeah, I added another box on top of the second tower so that you couldn't make it from the crane to there, but the crane single box is actually part of the map. I would have blocked it off more or raised the geo merging a little higher if I didn't want people on there.

Thanks for all the great questions, those are the kinds of posts that I really want, thanks Rusty Eagle. Hopefully this will help future posters. Most of these flaws are caused by, hitting the item limit, opinions, and misunderstandings, including my own :).

My maps: They are all extremely epic.
