1f:T7b4,

This is my first Forge-World map created in Reach, and it came out incredibly epic! On paper, it seems extremely well balanced, but without a good opportunity to get 16 players on there, I need some of you to try it out and enjoy. I spent 8 hours on this map, and I took special care with the planning of the features on this map.

I'm a little uncertain about respawn timing, so I used hemorrhage as a standard for vehicle and weapon timing. I have lots of explosives on the map to balance the dominance vehicles seem to have in most Big Team Slayer matches, but if these explosive weapons are overpowering, then I could even further increase the respawn time on weapons (plasma launcherx1 at 180s, fuelrodx1 at 150s, I think, and rocket launcherx1 at 180s, and a grenade launcher at 120s) There are about 2 sniper nests for each team, as well as a turret for each team and a banshee.

My motivation behind this map was to give vehicle fanatics a battleground in which to slaughter. Those unfortunate men on foot would have a system of catwalks and bridges to retreat to until they find an opportunity to fight back against the vehicles plaguing the open field.

For CTF, you have to fight across the catwalks to the enemy flag, then proceed to navigate the installation and find a way to travers the open field to your team's capture node. Sounds easy, enough, right?

I hope you enjoy my map. Please, be critical about balance if you can, but I wish not to remove too many weapons, but I'd remove some if the results are glaring. I mostly would like suggestions on whether or not the wraiths get pwned so hard and fast that I ought to reduce their respawn timer from 180s to 150, and same with the tank. So many heavy weapons are here to counter the vehicles, and the vehicles are here to slaughter the footsoldiers. I want to find the best balance to this idealistic gameplay, but I need your play experience and feedback. Thanks, and enjoy!
