I just played it, and it's definitely one of the better Geonosis maps out there. You did a great job on the lighting and sides (effects - that is). I loved the bump mapping on the spires, that was my high point of the map, the texture looks absolutely fantastic. A few points:

- I thought that Green tinged Clone Troopers looked very odd and that the droid colours were too vibrant.

- You are missing localizations in UK English.

- There is a floating object here (which General Mitch pointed out):

- The sky looks a bit odd. It's too dark for the lighting you are using, like someones put a translucent grey sheet over the top of it, it's too desaturated and dark for it to look right. This of course is an opinion.

- You could always add some Geonosis foilage. It's just some simple rocks and pebbles on the ground that would improve your map a lot, making it a lot less bland.

- As a final, all these crashed ships and vehicles could have some smoke pouring out of them or have some fire effects. There is a very easy way of creating the illusion here. There are many ways to attach effects pointed out here.

All in all, this is a pretty good map, you did a nice job - especially on the lighting, effects and some of the textures.

This map actually looks very nice, I will probably wait for the full release to test it out, two things I have to say is indeed the colours on the troopers seem a bit odd, and the death star doors are awesome but if you know how to reskin them (I only say if because I'm so bad at all this myself) a geonosis colour it would make it that much cooler.

if you use the fusion cutter while standing to repair a health- and munidroid it works but if you are running and hlot the fusion cutter you kill yourself.
in many mods the rep can kill droids with the fusion cutter but than the kus repairs his slef and didn't kill him.

the shield ok i prefer the first person and there the droideka holt the wepon aslope and i couldn't see something throught the shield.
