Well, here it is. Rhen Var: Cathedral. It's a map set on Rhen Var (duh) with snow. And ruins. And a giant chasm you can run into and die.
*sigh*
Writing map descriptions=Not my strength.
Well, anyway, it's my first map (notices Gametoasters running for cover yelling "FIRST MAP! INCOMING! TAKE COVER MEN!!!"). I'm pretty sure it's not that bad of a map, but the quality of the map is in the eye of the downloader, so download it!

Notes:
Team DM will occasionally crash.
Team DM is more like wave. I don't know why I called it Team DM.
The Wampas are called [NULL]
Since this is my first map, I'm bound to have made some mistakes with this map. My goal for this map was to make as few of them as I can. Download, and enjoy.

COOL MAP!

Very nice job!
For a first map this is not an uh-oh type map. It had very good gameplay and looked very cool.
Because of the stock assets and great object use and placement it actually looked very professional.
I had a lot of fun playing this one, it will definitely stay in my addon folder for a while.
The gameplay was terrific, I didn't die too much and thus wasn't frustrated, yet I wasn't invincible and still got shot enough for it to be challenging. There were a couple of kill zones where far more intense than other places but the fighting was spread out enough to and it didn't make it feel like all the action took place in one little spot.
It was pretty well balanced too, the only problem was that TDM ( more of a hunt/wave mode really ) crashed if it wasn't the first level I played after starting the game.
To sum it up the map had good gameplay ( most importantly ) looked very nice ( also important ) and was quite stable ( VERY important ). Very good, ( especially for a first map ). I would definitely say it's worth downloading.
The only thing was it is a stock game type environment, with stock only assets, it did lack a bit of a "totally different environment" feel, not that that's a problem though. However, Gandalf did a great job making it different from the convo pack rhen var maps, it was more of a ruins spread out and didn't seem to just copy the stock maps at all.
@gandalf, This would be good enough for swbffiles really, I would almost consider submitting it there.

@CalvaryCptMike I already submitted it there. Actually did it before I posted it here.
Yeah, I should have called TDM wave. Don't have the slightest idea why I called it TDM.
It took me quite a while to balance the gameplay. That was harder than any other part of the map. I would balance it in one direction, and one team would destroy the other, then I would balance it in the other direction, and one team would look at the other team and jump off the bridges and die...
It was fun though.

And here is the 1.1 version, fixing the bugs.
Here is the changelist:
- Wampa now localized correctly.
Nuclear warheads disarmed.
Terrain blended.
New chasm texture.
Floating objects fixed.
Downward-pointing surfaces light issue fixed.
And, I suppose you'll want a download link too.
Here it is.
Enjoy!
