EDIT: MANY NEW PICTURE UPLOADED NOW !!!!

Hello everybody out there!!!
________________________

Im working on this map for a long long time. And still: This model of the Pillar Of Autumn is not a final product, its a process. Oftenly i do some (minor) visual modifiations.One day i thought that this version is ready for being published.
Im new to this forum, but i registred because i thought that everybody out there deserves to know about this map and im pretty shure you wont be disappointed.
As i just mentioned im very new to this forum, so please dont kick my -blam- when i dont get it immediatly...

Id like to here some constructive critics of you, just tell me what you think.

::DESCRIPTION::
_______________

General:
________

Above the canyon of Blood Gulch is floating a fully equipped halcyon cruiser. It includes two hangarbays (for two Falcons), a vehicle storage (for Scorpion and two Warthogs), armory, battle station (with rocket batteries), bridge/commando deck, fusion reactor (control room), engine room, sickbay, bar and panorama deck.

I created this map for invasion, as it is a new and fun gametype in the halo games but you can also play in Teamslayer or Slayer. At the moment im doing modifications on this map, so the next version (its gonna be called "DAWN UNDER HEAVEN") will be suitable for infection, assault ( 1 bomb) and maybe territories or 3-plots.

But the main point of this map is still invasion:

Invasion:
_________

In invasion gametype, Elites spawn in a cave with 8 Banshees in it. Spartans spawn in the battle station and near the engine room. Elites try to enter the autumn with their 8 (immediatly respawning) Banshees and have to conquer the hangar control.

In the second phase, Elites have to get control over the engines. They can now spawn in the cave, in the armory or outside the autumn (a bridge leads into starboard hangar). Spartans can now spawn in the bar or near the engines.

With the 3rd phase the door to the bridge will be opened. Outside the Autumn will spawn the bomb (a bridge leads into starboard hangar) that has to be taken to the control room/bridge. When the bomb explodes, the whole commando deck will be gone too, you will see ;D

______________________________________________________________

This map is actual playable !!! Its working, but I dont feel satisfied yet, if you have some tips for me how to make the gameplay more intensive, I'd be really appreciative. Works for Invasion, Slayer, Teamslayer, BTB!!! So if you want to test it, do so!!!
______________________________________________________________

For me there is only left to say: Have much fun with this map variant !!!

best regards...
