Thanks to everyone who has my back in my absence. And thanks to everyone for posting opinions, either positive or negative. Despite the opinion of Atheos, I welcome feedback from all members, as long as it comes from an informed and intelligent source. I don't want to hear your opinion if you just looked at the pics, whether that opinion is glowing praise or scathing insults. On that subject:

What specifically about it did you not like? You're entitled to your opinion, and I will not neg rep you or flame you for disliking this map. But I want to know why. Don't just post "this map is crap". Things like that do not help this community, or its members. You claim that this community is going downhill, and I point to such useless comments and bitching as the poison that is responsible for that downward trend. Start being part of the solution, and not such a fucking malcontent.

You're only dialogue so far has been to say that the map is crap. Really, I'm listening. Please eloborate.
Moving on. On the subject of map breakage:

Nice work. I have a love/hate relationship with map breakers. I love to do it, and I love to try to prevent it in my own maps. I worked pretty hard to make sure that this map wasn't breakable. I never knew about that group that you're in, but I hope that you guys only break maps for the accomplishment, and not to cheat in competitive games.
I actually found the tree thing myself, and added another box or two near there to prevent people from escaping. I assumed that I had blocked enough of the area, but perhaps not. We intended to make all the maps as durable as possible, but you guys are delightfully tenacious. I haven't watched the video yet, but I definitely will. But thanks for bringing it to my attention.
As for breaking it in the 2v2, you will be disqualified for cheating. And it isn't like you'd get any kind of advantage. In One Flag and 5 Plots, there is nothing out there. As for Slayer, you're leaving your teammate in there alone, 2v1. I guess if you could take the lead and then both escape, you'd be doing pretty good. But the other team could just upload the video and win.
I'm always kind of embarrassed when I find out my map is breakable. But then I'm honored that you guys are finding some sort of enjoyment out of my map. And that
should be the goal of all map designers- to help people enjoy Halo 3. So in a way, I'm giving myself a little pat on the back right now. And in the political world, that's called "spin", lol.
So to summarize: sorry if you don't like the map, I tried to make it unbreakable, but thanks for breaking it and telling me. And good luck in the Faceoff.
