I do agree with Grev, and with the whole object deal it seems like you have a cluster of objects and then it suddenly goes dead, then another cluster. I guess it kinda seems like everything's in zones, its very sharp cut offs and not gradual. Sorry for being picky, its amazing besides that.

No I appreciate pickiness, that is what helps improve maps It sure improved this one. The whole cluster thing is I have objects where the cps are which are fairly scattered but not too far away from eachother, and then I don't have objects on the outskirts of the map, the places far away from the cps, which might have gotten in the pics because that is where the flyers fly. Anyway, a few changes. Firstly, gave the engineer a new shotgun effect. Secondly, increased the snipers zoom and fire range, so that they can battle other snipers, firing from one end of the coastline to the other, which enhances the whole "sniper battle". I also added more of those barrier things so that they act as cover for the snipers and are stationed at each cp. Thirdly, to complete my new darktrooper unit, I added a new red jetpack effect, which I will let people on GT use after the map is out. See all of these changes in the screenshots below, except for the shotgun change.

Love the second pic and jettrooper effect. Those are really nice, good job!

As for the objects in the backround I would add them in order to create the feeling of being on an actual planet where you could just wander around and see new things.

Wow elfie you just keep throughing out awsome new mods every day it seems. You must me really busy. Keep it up!

Happy you guys like it.
@Woner - yeah, that is a good idea. I will try that.

Alright guys, newer cooler updates & Screenies:
-Added Ben's force wave with effects
-New model that I made myself - Landing platform complete with bright lights along the edges, fits the imperial landing craft perfectly, so it spawns in directly ontop of it
-Poisin Grenade for the officer classes, with green explosion, looks pretty cool
-Last but not least, Anti-Aircraft turrets, that makes landing at an enemy cp a little harder.
Pics below:

Turrets

Like?

all i did was look at the picture but its lookin great

Looks insane! Love the new model and the grenade. The only thing I would do is now vary the terrain, by either adding a new terrain, and/or brightening and darkening spots.

Made some changes. Hope they appeal to you:
More objects and varried terrain in the background:

Where did that giant turret come from?

I think they were in Campaign Utapau.

Yes, they were in the shipped assets, in the uta folder in the worlds folder.

Guess what? That surprise mode I was talking about I finally finished! It is a droid assault mode! The R4 units battle the R2 units. Here is what each unit has:

• R2D1:
  Blaster
  Jetpack
  R2D2:
  Droid Shock arm
  Jetpack
  R2D3:
  Fusioncutter
  Jetpack
  R2D4:
  Droid Sniper Rifle
  Jetpack
  R2D5:
  Flamethrower
  Jetpack
  R2D6:
  Sniper Rifle
  Fusion cutter
  Blaster
  Jetpack.

R4 units have the same weapons but with a different droid mesh and skins. I also still have to put in the jetpack effects as well as the explosion, but the explosion doesn't seem to be working.
Here are some screenshots of the new mode:

lol looks nice

Lol! Elfie I love your maps! The droid idea is crazy, which is best! I've got one idea; a droid with a medical kinda weapon. You could make a new effect and have it shoot about a metre, slowly repairing all robot/droid things.
Just a idea anyway.

lol this made me laugh
anyway i like the idea

While I usually find myself being a skeptic of your maps, this one is actually looking really good!

Happy everyone likes it. Made some more updates, it is coming along nicely now. I am almost finished with the all and imp sides now, the droid sides need some work still. The map now has both dark and light terrain in areas, as well as a lot of objects, even away from the cps. I added the imperial commander's (Imperial Officer) Heavy Laser Cannon, shoots a giant green laser, replacing the mortar launcher. Also added new mine effects, when mines are placed they blink and have a red circle around them. I also gave ben an effect for his force pull. See screens below.

I think the officers cannon is a bit much. I would make the blast a wee bit smaller.

if you consider that it looks like a turbo laser bolt of an ISD just imagine the recoil and the distance, that this poor officer would fly after shooting such weapon

It actually isn't that big. Must just be the angle of the picture and the time I took it. I will add some shake and recoil to it though.
