Description:	I figure after making a few air-centric maps, why not a tank-battle? This map takes place completely on the ground. The vehicle pads are in bunkers that are sunken into the sides of mountains, and the gens and flags have their own towers. Defense and offense will both have to cover multiple buildings, and the vehicle pads will only serve up tanks and MPBs. The action is fast and furious, and a lot of explosive carnage is available to all!

Necro always makes kick ass maps that are so simple that just about any mod will work on them and are equally effective in base too! Just about every map he makes deserves an A+! This is my all time favorite map and i feel bad for not commenting on it until now. i play Meltdown2 all the time and this the best map for that mod...it is so much fun to booster yourself to the other base and try to take out thier defenses single handedly...the only problem is that everyone spawns in the same place: the v-pad, so base raping and spawn killing is an issue at times. but all in all this is the "funnest" map i have ever played...oh, and artic flight

A MUST mission for Team work. Capping the flag is challenging and fun. One of the few maps that emphasizes the importance of the Beauwolf. Though in heavy fire fights can drop your FPS very low with some players. Other wise this is a fun fast paced well blanced mission.

This map has it's ups and downs. I do enjoy the quote though! The ability to hid MPB's right behind some important hills is VERY fun (and annoying/surprising!). The tank duels are fun to watch as well. D on this map is hard, yet rewarding. It's always nice to shut down the single flag grabbers by just running them down with a tank! :)

After playing this map a couple nights ago, I gotta say, this is one of my fav. server-side maps for Tribes 2 so far. I'm usually not too big on server side maps because they lack originality, but this one's got plenty. I'm not sure what map the terrain is from, but I honestly couldn't care less - it fits this map well. The tank battles are amazing, the base layout is awesome, and the "night-time in the desert" atmosphere is very reminiscient of a few good T1 maps I can remember. All in all, if you're looking for new maps for your server, this one is a must-have. Great job Necro.

if you like tanking and you're wondering what server-side map to grab, just stop. stop right there. look no further. start downloading. the flag tower itself is not as much of a pushover as it might seem (thanks to that sentry turret and force field-protected roof), but if you can sneak into the generator room, flag-snatching gets a lot easier. on my server i see a lot of skiing, a fair amount of sniping, and a WHOLE LOT OF TANKING. which is just as it should be. this map isn't as "weird" (i.e. newbie-unfriendly) as Desert Guns but delivers almost as much splattering green death. the more players the better, though - i probably wouldn't run this with fewer than 16 people connected.

Big fun, and popular on my server. People love the chance to play bumpercars with tanks. And the choice to make the defense spread itself out over several spots (gen tower; flag tower) was successful. Lots of carnage on this one, especially when an enemy tank works its way into the main base. It might be interesting to put a second base turret out in a more advanced spot. Fast caps at the very start of the map might be too easy right now.

I really like this map. It's got a very open feel to it, and the night time setting enhances it even more. The frame rates are also very nice. Highly recommended.

This is a very cool map. I like the fact that the vehicle stations are indoors. Overall its seems pretty well paced.
