Review:
Although I'm not usually a big fan of floating bases, this map manages to implement them without being particularly annoying. The base design is excellent, and although they are quite large, they manage to be extremmely simple to find your way around, something I can't say for the majority of large based maps. The flags are in their own little tower, accessible only when the main generators have been taken down. Getting the gens down and getting the flag out before they are repaired is going to be pretty tough for any but a very well coordinated offense, but a timely bomber run or two may help things along. Vehicle pads are limited to air only, but with the bases being airborn, land vehicles wouldn't be of much help anyways.

One of the few issues I had with this map was the item placement. It took me quite a while to find that rep pack (although, admittedly, I'm not the smartest guy in the world) and with the generator so prone to attack, being able to find the repair pack quickly is very important. All in all, though, it seemed a pretty solid map to me. I definetly recommend this one for any of you floating base fans out there, even if the name "Icehole" seems a bit on the strange side.
