Review:
This is a challenging map, with many strategic options. The terrain can be very tricky to navigate, but I think that was done by design. Vehicle stations are provided, and with good reason ... using a vehicle will certainly help you navigate the terrain. The bases are a bit sparse, but when coupled with the interesting terrain, I think the minimal bases work well.

There's a good mix of trenches, flat spaces, high cliffs, and open plateaus on this map, which makes for a wide variety of combat styles. The overall feel that you are playing on a large block of ice is definitely present. The sharp peaks and sheer cliffs do not make for easy skiing, and only those adept with the jet pack will make good time across this map.

The map is a bit unbalanced, because the base layout in relation to the surrounding terrain is quite different on each side. The terrain design is very well done, and the use of water and fog is, in my opinion, perfect. All in all, this map will make a good addition to any server.
