Ptolemy's Valley

Ptolemy's Valley
A Remix of the Classic
(or as Falconx03 put it, a Spiritual Successor)
Blood Gulch

Intro

Hey guys, this is my first post on ForgeHub, and basically I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller. :) I hope you enjoy playing my map as much as I did making it.

Yes, I know this isn't a true remake, but I really couldn't come up for a word to describe it's relationship to Blood Gulch. Falconx03 put it great : A spiritual successor. I guess I just got carried away because I thought that the middle of the original Blood Gulch was really boring, and so I gave it a new twist, and I really had no idea how I could re-create the tunnels and ridges on the sides. And yes, I will be making a v1.2. Remember, this is my first map. I just wanted to see what kind of criticism I would get. Thanks everybody :). Hopefully after I address the problems, some people will revise their scores.

Description

This is a spiritual successor of the map from Halo : Combat Evolved. I chose to do this map because this is the only retro map I know from Halo 1, because I was cheap and didn't buy the full game, only the demo.. But anyways.. It's a very balanced map, with a large structure in the middle, with a couple of good sniper positions. Each base has two Mongooses, and two Warthogs. Each base also has an energy sword, two shotguns, two plasma rifles, two carbine rifles, two brute shots, and a sniper rifle. It also has a machine gun turret to protect the flag. In the middle of the map there are two gravity hammers, a spartan laser, a rocket launcher, and four SMGs. This map took me about 4 sit-downs, each around 1-2 hours long, the reason it being so long is because I started to experiment with geo-merging, and object merging.

Here are some pictures :

This is me having some fun on top of the middle structure.

Hey guys, I'm open to all constructive criticism.
Please don't hate.
