the vehicle skins are a little bit to bright
And some how ... bright and yellow skins don't fit on Hoth very well :S
The yellow isnt that bad in-game, but i'll darken the rep vehicles a bit.

sharp has a arc gun, im also trying to get a under-hand chaingun for him. the commander hasnt changed but ill try to find some type of weapon for him.

I agree if the name was anything other than Hoth no one would say anything
So is it that hard to change the name and get rid of all these complaints?

So this is your first map eh, well there are certain things everyone should strive for in their first map. And you've got one of them "Not Geonosis" but you're falling short in certain areas. My Diagnosis(just what I'd like to see)
Different sky, the standard yavin sky doesn't fit at all, pick a different one.
Different textures, it looked like the ground in the pics was all one texture. Change it up a little, it adds realism.
Diffrerent planet, Hoth to me is a GCW planet. Look on Wookipedia for different one(there aren't many but some have never been mapped before)
Different size, make sure this map isn't too big, so many maps missed this area and their creators wnet all out. Concord Dawn is really big, Raxus Prime(YanKFan)is way too big, bigger does not mean "EPIC" mainly boring.
Different thrill, this map looks like it needs more help in this area than the others. Make sure the AI is smart, hard but not to hard, does one vehicle dominate the map, is the balance tipped in one sides favor. These come first and formost in any map, secondly add something to set this map apart. The underground turret controls are a great idea think of some more.
You can map this beginners map awesome, follow the advice of experienced map makers and use your own creativity. Kepp it up!

What do you mean:
Will you keep Hoth?
Or will you make Hoth to the unknown Planet?
Or will you make a whole new map called Unknown Planet?

Luckily, Wookiepedia has an entire category of Ice Planets. Pick whichever one sounds coolest!

F'TAAAAANG.
I'm sorry, that just sounds so awesome!
And I'm serious about that. This looks nice, but some of the skins look a little painty.

Those are nice suggestions but let's not flood this thread with our picks, alright? Commander will choose the name he finds appropriate to the map.

If the hoth goes better i will keep hoth.

I admit, I thought the original idea was pretty standard (not that this a bad thing, everyone has to start somewhere), but this update caught my attention.
That's a nice concept you have there, Cookie. I really like it, especially the colors (vivid green trees, white snow, dark rocks).
My only complaint is the name, it can't be an 'unknown planet' if it already has a name, that doesn't make much sense.
