Features:
- shooter map, in conclussion it's mix of various FPS games given into WarCraft3
- great for LAN party
- fast-paced action
- 5v5 gameplay
- Bomb/Defuse mode and Zombie mode
- realtime, round-based gameplay
- takes just few moments to learn how to play (if you ever played ET it will be piece of cake for you)
- 7 unique classes to choose from, even if it's very similar to play with every class, everyone has got another pros/cons
- more types of ammunition, not just one per weapon
- hiding in trees and bushes, giving it realistic touch
- 4 types of grenades, airstrike, artillery barrage
- unique 3D positional sound, also walking sounds (like in Counter-Strike)
- still in development so things may change (any suggestions you give I take in consideration)
You thought maybe that the name of map doesn't have any connection with gameplay itself except the word soldiers. well yeah, the game is not toys, I made it more or less realistic. I took it more poetic. ;)
Even the map is not as colorful as the map preview picture. The game is a lot of dark green while picture is light, flashy, etc. It's done on purpose.

VGsatomi: Another elaborate, high quality tactical map by snaky. teamwork is essential and each class played very unique roles. Interaction with the terrain and variety of weapons, abilities and items in a modern tactical combat scenario was near perfect. Great work.
Great game and here are my improvement ideas:
1) You could add a possibility to change the goals: Game ends after 5,10,15,20 rounds or when other team gets 3,5,7 or 99 victories in row.
2) Limit number of grenades or better: let the host choose from 2,4 or 6.
3) Don't put too many items or guns where to choose. I think it is now good. You don't need to think what everything does but only pick the ones you really need and go. Keep the amount of items low!
4) There could be a possibility to host to choose different maps where they want to fight: i) jungle (the one there is now) ii) city (streets and concrete buildings) iii) training area (small obstacles and some hideouts)
5) In this game there could be actually 1 or 2 more players. However, it is good that you have realised that getting more than 6 players is sometimes difficult.
6) Mode to change friendly fire on/off.
7) AI for leaving players. It doesn't even have to be very smart: just run towards enemies and shoot. Of course, the smarter the better.
In the end, thank you for making this map. It was very enjoyable.
i agree what it stands in the dl screen, the best shooter on wc3 and it truly is, to bad the host cant have an option to extend the number of wins required to win, i think 10 or 5 more is to little, the grenades are cool, bounces like real life and is very cool but there should cost, like if you added grenade ammo whenever you throw 1 decreases from inventory as you did with the regular ammo for guns, that would be good, and there should be able to be 12 players, i mean if the host dont want 12 playes just close the slot, better to have more cuz if you want less that is easy to fix just simply close, anyway great map 5/5

Reason: miss spelled
My favorite part of this map was how you have the camera rotating. But I can't seem to get camera to rotate and follow a player. It would be great if you could give me that trigger, I would give you credit in my RPG. 5/5 Thanks for this awesome goodness! :)
U know what i really hate about this? Snipers completly dominate. To add to that, there is no real automatic class or weapon, since snipers have (the same?) cooldown as the automatics. To add to this, hitting every single bullet with an automatic won't kill them which is completely stupid, while sniper is 1 shot KO. Sorry for the attitude but these are some obvious decisions :). Gameplay is nice, map is nice (maybe add a few more stages later), nades are pretty awesome. rating reserved
you can make snipers to have long cd at attack but to increase their sight range (they are snipers at all) i try with medic to reseruct my ally but seems to don't work anyway gj for the map
