Review:
This is one of the most visually stunning maps I've played on so far. It's obvious that most of the work went into designing the terrain, with it's vast canyons and tall spires. Unfortunately, this wonderful terrain made the playability suffer.
The bases are perched on plateaus high above the canyons which are seemingly etched into the earth by ancient rivers. The flag structures are placed far out at the end of a sort of peninsula jutting out into the canyon.
The lack of Shrikes at the vehicle stations is a big negative in my book. Not only is this map large enough to almost require vehicular transportation, but it would also be so much fun to fly a Shrike through the canyons. Transport vehicles are available, and that does encourage teamwork, which is always a plus.
Snipers will have a lot of fun on this map, considering you can see about 60\% of the entire playing field from any one spot on this map. It's also a fun map for light defenders for the same reason. You can see the bad guys approaching from afar, and be ready for them when they arrive.
Even with the sluggish pace of this map, it's worth checking out just to experience it visually. It's quite a sight to behold.
