No, as I was saying in an earlier response I really wasn't inspired by one or two particular maps. I've played a lot of H2, so an unconscious influence may be there. To me the only similarities are that they're both circular maps with symmetrical layouts.

Yes, and I remember you owning quite mightily in the games you were in on. I'm very grateful that I was able to get so many people who are better players than I am to run test games with. Crappy players can't really tell you what's wrong with a map, and watching the films from the test games really helped in the shaping of Radius. I'm anxious to get that review. ;-)

I have only had a chance to do a Forge through, but I must say, the detail and execution of the construction of this map is subtle yet very impressing.
The one thing I wanna nitpick over, and I hate being a nitpicker, is the space between the teeth and the back wall. I wish there was just a tad more room. But since I haven't played a match on here yet I really can't stand behind that impression.

Thanks very much for the forgethrough review, Creep! I'd love to get you in on some games and hear first hand what you think of how it plays. I understand what you mean about the lack of room with the teeth, but it was kind of intentional. Having them too far forward would create too much of a camping spot, and grenade bounces through the opening would be a lot more difficult. I wanted to create a little bit of a risky situation with the teeth. A relatively safe place to spawn, but because of it's tight space a risky place to camp with an oddball.

Nah, it's not that weird. There are quite a few members here who were kind of taken aback by the way this turned out:
