Review:

Abridon 6, by bobfinkl, is - for better or worse - Endor. If Pandemic had taken the basic Endor map, made it smaller, removed command posts, and changed the units to CW units, this is about what we'd get.

That's not all a bad thing - this isn't a poorly-constructed map. There are no floating objects and it looks pretty good (although exactly like Endor). It's a little weird (and it technically makes no sense, readme explanation or not) to have the Death Star II floating above the heads of the Clones and CIS.

The real issue with this map is in the gameplay department. There are still just four CPs (although they appear to have been moved a little). There are no special units for either team (except for the Republic's jettrooper). This makes winning the game extraordinarily easy (especially once you get a hero). A battle here will probably last no more than about 5 minutes.

In summary, this isn't a bad map, construction-wise, although I would avoid making a map that looks so much like a preexisting stock map (especially the DSII skydome - that's easy to fix and should have been done right away). Make sure for future maps that you work on the gameplay - don't make it so easy to win that your map becomes dull.

Personal review:

well im not so much of a forrest kind of guy so this map isnt ideal for me...i did love it that you can become a hero (cause of lovez them)
its not a great map...but it has some good things on it, for one thing there arent any specials (what i surly love)...it's in CW and it has heros
