Great fun map. I'll not write a review, but I will say that my only gripe was how fast it was. I didn't even get 22 kills. Now, that may have been because Im aweful at Battlefront 2, but, I would suggest either lowering the unit count on the field, or raising the reinforcements.

I also want to say that this is another one of those beautiful maps. Really pretty all over, full of eye candy. You've also inspired me to use reskin models when I need them in a different environment.

Hope to see more from ya, and another addition to your great map list,

i started rebuilding the bunker cp and [GT]EraOfDesann was defending me, the enemy had all the CPs, i finished building the bunker CP when the counter got down to 3, so we were saved with a new CP, untill CmderFusion came with his hero and killed us, lol
That had to be the best online moment ever :lol: .

That's because the reinforcements were up to 800.

Well I can understand that. Ipodzanyman had a problem similar to this on his Republic Dooms Day map - If you have a bunch of units on the field at once, they kill eachother extremely fast, leading to a near exponential drop in reinforcments, thus directly causeing the shortness of the battle.

I'll reword me saying "gripe" to, its not a problem, but it could be "improved upon".

Regardless, I stand by what I said, in that its a fun map.


And, perhaps you do have me on the reinforcement - as I didnt touch them. I will replay it, and I guess we both know what I will come back here saying (as you played it, so obviously your correct)

And, with that being realized, my previous statement is invalid, leaving me only to say, I have no issues with this map, other than things that are simply a matter of personal liking. (I dont mean that I personally dont like your maps, I mean that, for instance, I like having thin bolts and lasers, whereas you appear to enjoy thicker ones)

I'm putting up the Era-is-offline-so-I have-the-rights-to-the server for the map in a now. If you want to join, find the Verena Defense server, see you there.

Edit: Took it down. And to a certain person on there, use the F-word on one of my servers again, and I'll boot you any time you even try to join, got it?

Very nicely done, Penguin.

Perfect size for flyers. Still a little too big (imo) for running to a battle, but you gotta sacrifice that for the flyers I suppose. Has the vehicle battles, close-quarter, and out-in-the-open battles that everyone seems to like so much.

The elimination mode is NUTS! I found it impossible to win with the bounty hunters by myself. Had the last CP drained, but then they got me and then got another CP. However, when playing on the jedi side, it was pretty quick work. Especially with that new 'force implode'. It's like a projectable mine. :D Very nice.

All the new factions are sweet too. Those new magnaguards are agressive!

I've only got one or two things I'd report as 'bugs'. There's ridges on the fallen ships I get caught on when exiting. No biggy, just annoying. The other thing is bot routing. There's quite a few places where they get caught behind objects and in front of openings. I know it's impossible to keep them out if they get forced behind or under something, but not when they're just walking around.
