    After I got a bunch of feedback on the first Blue Suns I decided to take this into consideration and improve upon the map. Well this is the result. It's been on an 'almost done' status for a while now, but since I've been quite busy I only managed to finish it today. Features that distinguish it from the first blue suns are:

    1) The map has a new skin. I used the grass from halo CE and replaced the dry coag grass with it. I also skinned the cliffs and the sand (also H1 textures).
    2) I added a bunch of scenery, I actually planned on adding more then you see here but I had to keep it limited or else my map would tend to freeze on loading. So there's much more cover now, and some nice trees of course.
    3) The amount of lag has been drastically reduced. Less enemies are on your screen now at the same time. You'll only experience some minor lag on startup. After that it plays nice and smooth.
    4) The AI now respawn. There are also alot of seperate squads, and they each have an individual respawn script now.
    5) There is an AI pelican that flies straight over the map at regular intervals to give a sence of atmosphere.

    And here are some screenshots that show the new feel of the map:

    Note: this is an older version, there is no blue sky in this patch.

    For more screenshots that give you an idea about the combat: look at the first blue suns' screenshots. They give a better taste of the combat than these ones.

    YELO MUST BE RUNNING IN ORDER TO SEE THE AI
    PS: I couldn't add a main menu picture cause my photoshop keeps crashing.
