Description: "Where is the rebel base?" In this case, it's on the planet, Hoth. Yes I know that the whole "Star Wars thing" has been done numerous times in the past. With Sandbox, it is now truly possible to make a decent map for it. Ever since Avalanche came out, I thought of building AT-AT's attacking the rebel base. Avalanche provided us with the possibility, but you couldn't build much anything else. Sandbox provides use with a wide variety of sizes and shapes for pieces, which makes the possibilities for great creations... endless.

I bring to you, my version of Hoth. Now mind you... this is not a beautifully forged map. I had to sacrifice a lot of quality to get the ambiance of Hoth. My intentions were to build the Rebel base into a mountain by using the various angled pieces to make it look like one giant mountain. Unfortunately the AT-ATs and Shuttles took up many pieces. I chose to sacrifice the aesthetics for the possibility of better gameplay. I was planning on using the Pen and Ink FX, but there was way too much glare for gameplay. It also made outside the map very dark, so I went with the Colorblind FX to make the sand look more like snow.

I now present to you... Planet Hoth.

seems like a good map, but there are some things i would suggest.

snowspeeders should be banshees
there should be elaborate bases
the montain you are trying to create could be the same thing as utah mambo. build the base into the side of a big dune hill

I felt that the banshees mimicked the Tie Fighters movement more. Plus the hornets allow the rebels to carry troops onto the AT-ATs. I originally had thought of this as a team slayer map, but I could not select default colors for the Rebels and Imperials... so I went with an infection game type with Darth Vader as the Alpha Zombie. The map is actually set up for all game types involving two teams.

The Empire didn't have a base on Hoth, which was why I went with numerous AT-ATs and shuttles for protection. I originally had hoped for enough items to build part of a Star Destroyer for the Banshees to come down from... unfortunately I had a lot of limitations and needed to make a lot of compromises.

I started working on my map at the same time as Utah Mambo was posted, besides... I don't like stealing ideas from others. I originally wanted two tunnel systems from the rebel base to about the middle of the map along the edge of the grid... both with sniper rifles... but the item limit made me rethink my entire idea. Utah Mambo had an original idea and I wouldn't want to take anything away from it by stealing ideas from that map.

There are actually Imperial spawn points inside the AT-ATs. Each one has an opening in the top and bottom as well as a head/neck which can be entered... including the one on the ground. The two AT-ATs and two Imperial Shuttles have plasma turrets which can be fired if you are in the cockpits.

I like the 12th pic it is cool. I like how you used the colorblind effect to make it so it seems like snow and not the opposite. dl for 5/5
