Using my awesome and amazing uploader script, I bring you:
The Egg.

Originally named Vulcano, except it didn't actually look like a vulcano, this map is extremely dark and whores the awesome lights scenery pack to the max.

Map was designed for RM and DM and doesn't use waypoints cause I can't get them to LISTEN TO ME.

Enjoy!

I like eggs. Particularly this one. However, lights aren't particularly utilized, ie. they don't light up the polygons.

Complicated layout for a DM... wouldn't expect great gameplay on this one.

A. He means in the shading on nearby polys.

B. It is complicated, but I also like dark maps. (cause I'm goth like that)

C. That was an un-needed insult considering he showed no opinion into your map.

Not a bad map though, too complicated like EA said.

I'm posting arrogant text level 6 here for criticising people's comments by the creator of this map.

and this map is just a big dark thing with some unexpected bursts  :-X of light.

shading just fights agains those lights, too complicated, no system gameplay.
scenery just got lost somewhere.

a 3/10

Oh you're right, I guess I should stop inquiring about people's comments about my map because any other comment than "thank you" means you suck.

I seriously picked that up as "this map sucks it's not round at all" okay.

It's good, but large maps and excessive paths are a definite no-no in Soldat :P You basically made a ton of layout concepts for future maps. You should work on simple paths and add more detail to them; that is, more polygon coloring, and scenery. It's not bad for a beginner's, tho' :)

The top quarter of that map would be extremely interesting for HTF... (I rotated it 90º here)

I actually like the complex design. though random, it allows for soldats to work their way through a maze of tunnels and passages, losing he who hunts them and in turn sneaking around to flank from behind and stab his enemy in the back. 8)

this would make a leet knife n saw map, I think. 8/10!
lol siggeh deleted for the 7th time! that's like a new record or something, ain't it?

The shape could be more like an egg.
I think you used too many light scenerys.
This map is too much like a maze, it will be hard to find people.
There are other worlds than these

Looks okay... I like the design (though it doesn't look like an egg), the shading is good, and I think this would be challenging (good thing :D)  in gameplay...

7.5/10 ;D

I agree 150%

Oh, and you might want to add more scenery (and lights).
