Infection Alpha Site

The map for one is so tiny and does not feel like Alpha site. I honestly must have died 10 times in one round from falling of the edge. you need WAAAAAY more ledges. Next, the scoring is not very good. Every time an ODST gets a kill(which is very often) they get 1 point. Everytime the covenant get a kill, it's 1 point. And that RARELY happens. Between falling off the edge and getting no points, I'd always lose. Next comes the problem of the ODST's in general. Aside from the problem of them being ridiculously overpowering(the only thing that can really kill them are the stalkers really and that's probably because the ODST are fighting invisible guys without a radar). One fully charged plasma pistol shot takes out less than a tenth of the shields. And also as the ODST, when you're almost dead, you can just commit suicide with a rocket launcher or jump off the edge and lose 1 point, but regain all your shields. No. Also, the weapons aren't even in the right spots. Why would you put the rockets and sniper in one little shelf together at 30 seconds respawn?

1/5 sorry, the map and gametype just needs a lot more work. I personally don't believe this is something you've been testing for the past 3 months.

How the hell do you fall off 10 times in one game? You fail. SRSLY.

On topic, I think this is a fairly accurate representation of Alpha Site. There were a few things here and there, but I like it! 4/5

It was an exaggeration, genius. Also, actually play. Everyone fell off a few times no matter what. If you're going to make a map in the skybubble, then it needs to have railings of some sort. Also, when you mean accurate, do you mean weapons respawning almost instantly?

If you're going to recreate firefight, I recommend NOT using infection. Too many snags while playing, such as committing suicide or whatever to gain your shields back. A giant flaw in this one considering that the ODST's are way overpowered anyways. Use something like VIP, like rifte gifle did for protocol. Plays a lot like firefight, and there's no worry of people committing suicide.

If you think I'm trying to flame you with my opinion on the map, well I'm not. Each little bit of info I'm giving you will help you if you want to make a V2, should you decide to listen.

Besides(if the creator can take criticism), would the creator like to hear a bunch of people spamming, "c00l map i liek this concept, covenant r 2 overpowed but 10/10 anyways" without playing, or hear someone who gives the flaws of the map and hints for improving on a V2?

EDIT
Also, just use regular text colour. Black is harder to read for FH Dark users.

I didn't try to post it that way, it just came out :/

As I said before, this was a fun map based off of firefight, not made to be like firefight. Sorry but no, I've played this map testing it a -blam!-load of times and no more than 1 guy fell off each game, and anyone who played it before didn't. No I do not just want people saying "This is such a l337 map" but neither do I want misdirected critisism on it.
