Whoa, looks great.

I think it'd be good to have a few running around, but I really mean just a few. There have been times in the past where people have added acklays to maps and people get all excited, then there turn out to be twenty of them running around slaughtering everything, which I personally find annoying. With just two or three, they won't be a constant presence so they'll give the player a good scare and add some difficulty.

He looks good.

But I would add some brown and some green areas on the skin for. e.g. on the helmet or on the backpack. So not everything is in a camo style, the camo texture itself looks really good.
Looks a little bit strange for me in the moment. :P

Oh, thanks, Cookie, your avatar just provided my expression when I first saw the skin. :)

@The skin: It's nice, but the camo is too solid. I can barely see any detail.

They all look really good, but I think you should change the assault trooper skin to a AT-RT driver one. And I think a Commando would fit this map...

I'm not sure I like the bottom ambient light you have. Green is a good color for it, but it looks a little too vibrant. Maybe dull it down a little?

For example, from this to this.

Agreed.
Try to add some variety to the units. For example add differents skins to them or add Kamas to some units.

Personally the campaign trooper I think looks.... well... ermm... not very nice. If I was you I wouldn't have chosen a snowtrooper to skin but... oh well.

So...think it's time for an update? ;)
Firstly, I'll go over the changes since the last update, and those to be done soon.
  • An entirely new side layout.
  • Campaign bugs fixed.
  • Changed Hunt mode.
  • Improved barriers.
The new side layout is possibly more simple, but overall better as far as I'm concerned. The basic weapons and units are as follows, with some changes in weaponry depending on the team:
  • Rifleman (Rifle, Pistol, Grenade* x4, Knife*)
  • Rocketeer (Rocket Launcher, Pistol, Grenade x2, Mines x4)
  • Sniper (Sniper Rifle, Pistol, Knife*, Grenade x3)
  • Officer (Primary Weapon*, Pistol*, Special*)
*Grenade: All have Thermal Detonators, except Republic who have EMP. Knife: The CIS do not have knives. To make up for this the sniper unit has one more grenade. Officer's Primary: Republic = Advanced Rifle, CIS = Wrist Rocket, Empire + Rebels = Grenade Launcher. Officer's Pistol: In the case of the CIS, Tri-shot is used instead. Officer's Special: Republic, Rebels, and Imperials have one Recon Droid. CIS have 5 Wrist Rockets.

A new feature was also added in to the map - this is that all units slowly regenerate health naturally. However, it is very very very slow - but also effective.

Hunt mode is being edited to make it more fair, so that the Acklay have chance.

And now....screenshot time.
