I think that it looks really fun, albeit a bit open, but for most of it, it's a pretty solid map. However, to improve aesthetics, maybe add a railing around the open sides, near the edge of the map. But I quite like the map, so 7.5/10.

I will add them just for you. And this map supports slayer, ball and king.

Also, the map is less open than it seems from the screenshots. The subtle height differences do wonders for gameplay and cover.

It does look a bit open, as stated above. BUT it looks very awesome as well. I will check up at a later date after i see it in game...

EDIT: uh the DL link isn't working for me. :(

good looking map, its unfortunate that you have to spend sooo much money on making the floor, correct me if im wrong, but i think i saw some spots where u used just large blocks on the floor where u could use double blocks or even double walls, just a suggestion to help with the item limit, but it looks like you spent some time on this, so nice job, i will deffinently be downloading

nice map pulse, hopefully i get a working mic soon so i have some motivation to actually play halo and can get some games on the map. I have been looking for some nice ball maps to test the 10sec reset out on the skybubble since i thought of it a while back and i guess others thought if it as well. I cant really tell how big it is though and im wondering how the snipe, rocks, and OS will work with gameplay

This seems like a great map. Very open and not too much cover. And BASIC nothing too confusing. Dloading now

Your links be dead...

Not much cover... but the layout is very original.

PulseKiller · 03-25-2009

Ok... links fixed. Sorry about that. I copied it over from MLGpro, and it it must have gotten messed up.

And about the cover issue, please play the map before saying it is open. It is definitely not too open as the map itself provides to cover. Please atleast do a forge-through before commenting on the cover.
