Pegasus

Description
"Pegasus" by JediJalepinio is a Geonosis-esque map, apparently a redux of an [url=http://starwarsbattlefront.filefront.com/file/Pegasus;97998]earlier version[/url] of the same name.

I didn't have the chance to play through the first version, and didn't look at the older review until after-the-fact, but taking a glance the author seems to have taken many of the suggestions made and implementing them effectively.

The map itself is well-laid out. As mentioned above, it is similar to Geonosis but doesn't force the issue; most of the similarity comes from the "dirt planet" atmosphere and a reuse of Geonosis props. It is a large map but uses its space effectively, while there can be a lot of running around, there aren't huge spaces with nothing in them. Prop placement was well-done. A desolate setting was made but there was a sufficient density of props that the map didn't feel empty as big maps or desert maps are especially wont to feel.

There are "new" sides included, but other than some minor weapon changes, they play exactly the same as the stock sides. The textures for the Republic are a little different; they use a desaturated yellow hue - which looks ok on all the troopers except for the clone commander, who looks really tacky done as he is.

The only issues mentioned in the first review that didn't appear to be fully addressed here were the boundaries to the map (there weren't any) and the filesize. "Tur.lvl" probably could have been eliminated to reduce your size by 30%.

Anyway, certainly a decent map and worth the download. Check it out!
