I was wondering if anyone would be willing to take some time to download the beta version of The Floating Islands and to give me some feedback? It would be very much appreciated.

Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

When I've put the weapons and spawn points down I'm going invite a group of friends over for them too test it. Then I'll play test it over live with others.

looks really small, and not much cover or obstacles, but then again it is a beta and you can't judge something completely from a pic....

i'll check it out

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

I'll fly around the map like weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Lol, I had originally planned for there to be 4 Falcons on the map.

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

a bit of constructive criticism (going on what i see from the picture):

the map seems too open with little cover, players would have to rely on their strafing skills.

the plasma turret would rarely if ever be used because its at a low point and enemies can either team shoot it or throw gernades or gun it down with a falcon.

the middle area surrounded by rocks seems to have no cover and infantry can be easily gunned down by falcons.

Always up for REACH customs!

Not going to work. In the first 10 seconds of the game, one Falcon is going to blow up the other one, and then totally dominate the rest of the match.

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

Ditch the Falcons and the Shade Turret.

Then the map would become a very interesting 4v4 map, assuming the spawns are well placed.

Alternatively, completely remake the map around another place in Forge world, just a lot bigger, with more aerial cover.

How can I remake the map in another location when they gave to be in the air?

Use less premade buildings.

Just from looking at the screenshot:
-Nice rock formations and overall concept
-Too heavily relies on "buildings"... Which is bad because you should make your own...
