I just played RoboDef on it. Look really nice and was very nice to play on. I can imagine huge FFA or team matches.

Would be very nice if you could tone down the specular a bit.

Since map is perfectly flat and high-specular, grass looks like it's plastic-wrapped.

Or you could invert it! Then cliffs will be glossy, and the grass matte.

Looks normal to me in top-down, are you saying that based on the screenshot or ingame?

I'm just blatantly assuming it's the same climate as on Quicksilver.

Top-down it's not shiny, but in most cases camera is not top-down, but tilted between 40 and 80 degrees, and that's where it starts to show, with the perfect flatness only helping the plastic feel.
