When I played this one it was very laggy, but it was a good map nonetheless. Another thing that I noticed is that you have to face the AT-XT down to fire the heavy lasers where the concussion grenade launchers are supposed to be fired from. Another thing is that the only way you can get up on the landing platforms it seems is you have to use a jet trooper to get up there. I didn't see any AI flying fighters from up there. But otherwise nice map.

Thanks for your feedback :) I did add a lot more buildings beyond the surrounding boundary, so I suppose this could cause lower spec PC's to lag. Sorry for any problem that has caused. I didn't change the AT-XT at all, it's just Psych0fred's AT-XT beta without any modifications, but I may look into it for a BF2 version. Regarding the AI, they do occasionally spawn on the landing platforms, but it is quite random. I have seen the AI get into the flyers on the highest platform, but it doesn't happen as frequently as I would have liked. Your character will also sometimes spawn there once you capture the upper CP's, but this is also quite infrequent. Another way of getting up there is by using the cloud car or the other fighters, near the Rear Entrance. It's not too bad in a way, as the ground battle is still the main focas of the map.
