    Looks great, I do wonder if we will ever get to see movable platforms in future maps.

    Woho, lava! Can't wait to accidently nudge into it while low on health as high-res lifeform. No...the map looks nice. It's hard to tell the concept art from the screenshots at first.

    Great. My computer is busted and I don't have the cash to fix it yet. Now I don't only get to miss release day, I get to miss a new map :<

    Seriously, though. It looks great.

    Many a lerk will be lost in lava falls. Even funnier was testing it with the marine knockback as they flew into the pits.

    But seriously this map looks amazing now and its going to be a lot of fun on large public games.

    There is a dedicated map testing team, separate from the normal play testing group. They've spent quite a bit of time getting refinery in good shape. Now, I'm not saying it will be super perfect, but I wouldn't expect Rockdown styled balance problems either :)

    I find it amazing how hard it is to tell sometimes what pic is concept art and what an actual screenshot ... truly a testament to the engine you guys build

    I just love how Cory's artworks are always so close to the actual content. Can we have them in HD for wallpapers ? (I guess the artbook will be full of beauty but maybe not in high resolution, or will it ?)

    One could say the combat in parts of the map can become... intensely heated.

    This made me laugh:

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Of course, where there is ore processing, there must be lots and lots of lava.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    considering the room "Ore Processing" on Mineshaft has no lava!

    If an exo falls into a lava pit, will he give a thumbs up?

    I was hoping for the same thing. For a second I thought the readyroom platform was going to be part of the map, and got excited imagining the gameplay of having to fit arcs/exos on the platform and escort them across safely, or leave them to make the treacherous walk along the beam by themselves.

    Moving platforms and/or objects please! Post 1.0 of course :)
