k so i checked out the whole map and i have some pros & some cons,

kay on the good side the backround sound is cool, adds to the entire "feel" of the map as a space station and an object in space (is that backround sound from Derelict?) anyways, also it was kool seeing as i guess the opening cutscene of PoA kind of inspired this map (like the tanks and hogs moving inside a giant place inside the PoA) also i sort of like the scale of the longsword comparred to everything else, u know, really showing how big and powerful it is, HOWEVER, it kind of sucks that u couldn't fly it, i know this would be quite hard to do, and some longsword mods for Halo PC aren't the best but i guess it would be kool, but then it would be cheap having it inside, so either it would have to be smaller OR i like this idea better: having a large teleporter go to the top of the map (i.e in space) where u can have huge longsword fights :) (hey there's an idea, huge teleporters that ANY vehicle can fit through :) just to consider) also the unbreakable glass that was under some places (i.e the flag) was kool, although it would've been even cooler if u could break it by shooting it) and finally i liked the layout, open is some parts, maze-like and tiny in others, liked the teleporter colour, ALTHOUGH i did find the map a little to LARGE, even for 8 on 8, however i have yet to prove that with an 8 on 8 game, so anyways there's my opinion, good stuff! keep it up :O

oh ya 1 more thing- how DID u get the realistic look of the planet "Earth" outside. Is it a picture somehow imported into the game, or an awesome drawing?
