looks good. what's with that wraith? is it drivable? if it is I suggest next time try not to put drivable vehicles in such small maps. it'll be sorta lame. I give a 6/10.

yes the wraith is drivable and so are all of the others. I put them in to see what I can make of them.

well i wouldnt suggest vehicles on such a small map but the wraiths skin looks awesome.

yes, although the look of the wraith looks nice, it's a bit too big for a wee little map.. :p but yah, other than that, i like the overall theme. good job
btw, host ur video at mythica or something

-looks at the elites-


-points to sig-
To explain, when you dont set permutations correctly your Elite or Marine spawns with random gear.
Besides the thing being wayyyy of Halo canon, it looks stupid.
In your case, you have elites. They Have Honor guard Sholder pads with a Councilor Helmet. Some times they spawn with the Honor Guard Helmet like they are supposed to. One will have a MUCH larger head than the other, thus providing a very unfair advantage. Councilor Helmets are huge, and unless EVERYONE spawns with it, its going to suck for that person.

Also, sometimes the Elite spawns with a half-jaw of the Spec-Ops Commander. and The Half-Jaw is whats supposed to make him unique.



On a good note: The Shader swap look different then most Ive seen. USually people Always use the needler ammo and Overshield shaders all the time, nice to see a little change.

Good for a first and what up with the wraith (looks cool but why on lockout) and in the last pic whats with the honor guard elites doing in the green room burning to death or something

word

looks pretty fun
good job for a first!

Looks fairly good but that Wraith is amazing!

Looks alrighht i love the wraith skin! it would look good if you did it like on coag and changed all the skins to suit it

i give u a 6/10

I like the Wraith skin, it's just a shame it's in the middle of Lockout. The environment looks pretty good, but I'm not too crazy about the weapon mods. 5/10

Not bad for a first, everyone has to start somewhere.
However, Proj swaps are old news and cause unfair gameplay and make a lot of these maps have no replay value due to ineffectiveness in balancing.
Not Bad though, 7/10 for a first. Just read up on some Tutorials, I'm sure they still have those here.
