Orbit (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=14565458&player=TLN%20Impended)

Orbit is a 2-base one-way symmetrical arena map. Although it is not a Midship remake, it is still unmistakably similar to the Halo 2 beauty we all miss. There are twists to the design that I've always been interested in toying with. For example, making P1 behind P2 instead of in front of it... Or creating another exit route out of the bottom of the bases. That exit route being a short tunnel going underneath car.

The map serves the purpose it's supposed to. It is fast paced and all about the DMR. The only other things you can find on this map besides the DMR/NR are the 2 Pistols and the Evade. The map plays FFA, TS, CTF, Oddball, Assault, and KotH. It will feel just like you're playing Midship, except revamped to keep it fresh and change map movement a little bit.

There are two versions of the map: A version that has the purple lights on it to make it feel more... purpley.... :D And then another version without the lights in order to cut-down on frame-rate problems (which haven't been a problem yet even with the lights).

Gametypes: FFA, Team Slayer, Capture the Flag, Assault, Oddball, and King of the Hill

Weapons and Grenades:
- 4x DMR
- 1x NR
- 2x Pistol
- 4x Plasma Grenade
- 4x Frag Grenade
- 1x Evade

Colors!!! I love the look. Just wish I could help but I don't know what makes a map good or not. I just run around and get killed lol.

Looks sick. I suggest using the brace instead of walls for the ramp to P2. Also, your Pink tower idea is absolutely amazing.

I honestly can't believe this is what came out of the map I joined and we started messing around on mongooses (mongeese?). Anyways I hope to get out of this mountain of homework sometime and be able to play on this map for a few games.

The version without the purple lights is now on my file share labeled as 'Orbit LB' (Orbit Low Budget).

I haven't gotten to take a look at this yet. Judging from the videos it looks solid.

I took the time to download this and run around on it for a while and noticed alot of areas where you used walls and thought you should take the time to replace these because of issues they will cause with FrameRate.
I also wish that you would have made your top mid leveled instead of slanted at a slight angle because it just looks awkward.
I do however like your take on midship and enjoyed how you redesigned pink side.
There was a couple more things I noticed but those were the more important ones I wanted to point out.
Good job though.
