Let's hold it there guys, codzombies, If you think downing maps and "boosting" yours and think its gonna up the chances of your map to get accepted, then you need a serious lesson learnt. As a matter of fact the map committee do a little research on your profile, your map knowledge etc, they do this by looking at your entire of your profile because that's what holds your knowledge and understanding, and I think what your doing to peoples maps is in fact going to reduce chance of your map. That's worryingly disgusting and pathetic. At least give a detailed and reasonable answer for your harsh explanation! Really pathetic, hope you can understand what your doing.
I left a short comment as I was just looking through the maps and wanted to leave my opinion on every one. Yes I know the maker of Highfield estate, but he didn't tell me to comment or anything. I was scrolling through the forums and found it, so I left it a review. Given I know who he is, sure you could say that my opinion of the map is a little biased, but I took a good look at every map. Your accusation that I am trying to 'boost the map' annoys me, so I've taken a better look at your map and here's what I think:

First off, as stated earlier I don't really like the terraforming. This is because it seems really random, with a sand/red sand beach with a river running through it. This leads to a big stone waterfall, which doesn't really fit in with the urban theme. I also noticed that there is what looks like a mega taiga biome, and I feel that this is really random and out of place. The terraforming that is around the urban area looks like you built first, terraformed second which means that none of the builds will really flow. This is not the worst of the terraforming, I understand why you would want to do this, but I'm just pointing out that it's a huge flat area, which can look a bit unnatural.

Next we look at the builds. I would say the the build ideas are quite good, but the quality of some of them just isin't up there. They look like they have just been outlined in a colored clay, and then had the middle filled in. This creates some really boring and repetitive builds. Some of the builds, such as the hotel look good, but there is no detail in a lot of others, and this really lets down the quality.

Lastly, you may think my opinion is just rubbish, but let me point out something to you. Your map, as listed in the map facts, had 18 people that at some point in time helped to work on the map. Highfield Estate had two people that built the whole thing. That map is up to a really high standard, so at this ratio, your map should be amazing, which I wouldn't say it is.

Hopefully this may be the feedback you wanted. In future, please don't jump to the conclusion that I'm trying to boost a map.

-the 'taiga part' is seqoia national park
-the big stone waterfall got removed
-me and 2 others did about 80% of the map
-most cities are flat and people like flat maps
-urban isnt the theme, california is the theme(or just modern)
thanks for your comment though

Some of your points are true, however, your point about highfiled estate and 2 builders = better quality is completely invalid. Our team works well together bare in mind this is our first time EVER building a map and even being in a build team...let that sink in...

In my honest opinion, I feel that a lot of the builds are a bit too basic for an SG map. Some of the terraforming seems a bit too plain, and in some places, it seems unfinished. The trees are also a bit weird.

I think this would work great as a Battlegrounds map, but I'm not sure it meets the standards quite yet of an accepted MCSG map. :)

Well the map isnt 100% finished, still needs tweeks and we yet to update screenshots, the terraforming however will be a little weird because we only had one terraformer, which was me...and it's not really my thing, maybe if you could tell me what makes the terraforming weird I might be able to change it? I don't understand whats wrong with the trees though.

It looks very good from the screenshots. I especially love this building:

It is very simple but still have a unique design that makes it look good.
