Hello 65

Just got your map, install it, play it, and analyse it in sandbox.

Here are my observations and it’s just my opinion. I’m no expert…

First I notice a bit of lag (the image was shopy) right from the beginning
(I suspect the jungle sounds to be responsible for this) but then I got a …
.. sound card and a 1.5 GHz CPU so maybe it’s no problem.

2- Your map is too small (players will get tired of your map quickly)

3- I use the delta all the way down, quit pleasant but how do you get back up?
(Or was it meant that way)

4- The forest needs more work (More kinds of trees and plants)

5- I really like the small bunker, the way you lower it so that the sniper can lay
down, shoot and still get protection. Good Idea.

6- Remember always that making a map in SANDBOX requires Enormous
amounts of hours that will turn in to days.

Over all I think for a first map it’s not bad at all.
But I would take all the things that I have learn from this first map and I would
make another one and this time a Kick *** Map!

Feel free to contact me or sand me your beta maps ANYDAY cose I think that you have talent.

Let me correct that, for a good map, especially if it is big. (or like me, you try 5 different things that you find out later arent supported in MP, atleast not by the dedicated server.)

6- remember that making a map in sandbox will take days, leading to weeks and months.
