Ok, here's the run-down of the newest addition the the "Wing" family of CE maps, Icewing. The map takes place when the POA has sat on Halo for so long, a new age has taken over, and everything has been covered in snow and ice. There are several new additions to the map, while some things have been tweaked. Here the run-down:

- New weapon, the Glock 17. Model and skin found on internet, noded, tagged and put in-game by me. Custom sound thanks to [A27]Jsnipe. Custom ammo meters, pickup icon, equipment, and animations by me.

- Jet has been tweaked so that it flies more "realistically".

- All vehicle skins have been "enhanced" to show more detail and look more realistic.

- All hogs have been sped up so as to better perform on, well just look at one of the pictures.

- Covenant dropship has been sped up, and edited so that it turns more efficiently.

- Ramps have been placed in "ideal" positions. (Have some stunt fun >:D)

- Sky, ground, and ice skins by me.

- RED beam emitters on front of POA. (Make sure not to get caught in the path of them)

- No falling damage.

- Vehicle tele's in map also.

- Types of vehicles are Longswords, Covie Dropship, Pelican, Wasp, Guass Hog, Reg Hog, Rocket Hog, and Jets.

- ALL vehicles and Glock have custom strings.

- Red base is in POA bridge, red vehicles are below POA and to the left, blue base and vehicles are behind POA by the ice lake.

- All weapons in map are: Pistol, Assault Rifle, Sniper, Big Sniper, Glock 17, and Rocket Launcher.

- Unfortunately, there are no easter eggs in this map. (I know :( )

Thanks for reading, and enjoy the map!

How big is the file? It says unknown file size. Also, has anyone noticed that halomaps.org is erally slow today? It is losing connection a bunch and is downloading around 20 or so kbps. Is it just me?

May I say 1 thing:
It's not very icey. Why call it icewing if it isn't icy? How about sandwing? Or dustwing? Or something to that effect?

yes, behind the poa was a huge lake of water. I skinned it, then changed it to ice. That's where the name comes from.

Offspring thinks i put this map together in a few hours and released it...AS IF. I spent two months on and off working on this map. there is not ONE ripped tag in this map that i know of. The only MODEL i used in this map that wasnt mine was the glock, and i DIDNT say i had made it because i didnt. I'd like to see you edit each vehicle to make sure it performs its best. I'd like to see YOU do the Glock like i did. With its custom sound, pickup icon, ammo meter, animations, etc.

Ok, im done.
