Welcome to Project Yeti, a map that doesn’t actually feature a Yeti or snow monster in general. This map is made by Chromastone10 and was originally made with the intention of the YouTuber Laggin24x being the first person to be able to post footage of it. The Fact is, this map was not meant to be his Contest Map, but, shit got complicated and now it is. This map was also announced by UGX as the Bronze Medallist for the UGX-Mods & Zommods competition 2015.
Well, without further ado, let’s get into the Pros & Cons of this map.
PROS
Snow Map: There aren’t many of these around at the moment, and this is refreshing, as majority of maps go with the dark & gloomy theme, instead of themes like the snow theme.
Weapons on Point: as expected from Chroma ever since CPH, his weapons are on point, including a few Dual Wield weapons, such as Mustang & Sally and the Dual FMG9’s from MW3. Speaking of MW3, this map has a decent variety of weapons, including a re-done Wave gun, which has made it into the Gershe Gun, which was refreshing.
Five Teleporters: I personally like the five teleporters, as they work without the fuss of having to link them. As well as the fact it was like a lottery whether you got to where you wanted was also nice.
The Slide: A refreshing Mechanic which replaces the standard Drop-shot (since Dolphin Dive isn’t really a thing in W@W) with a slide from any of the latest 3 Call of Duty titles (take your pick, they all have a slide)
Well, no map is perfect, so let’s get into the cons of this map.
CONS
Not much to do: This is like the zombies of old, which thanks to maps like leviathan and Oil Rig, is a bad thing, as having nothing to pursue is kind of boring.
Four Perk Limit: This map has a four perk limit with no way of changing the amount/earning more perks. I am all for perk limits, as it forces to prioritise what perks are needed more than the other, but if there is a way to earn more slots (like a perk drop, a mini easter egg, etc.) it adds to the gameplay, as you can attempt to earn all the perks that are on offer.
Final Verdict
Level Detail: 8/10.Props to Chroma, as this map was a good map to look at, from the Five-styled Pack-a-Punch area to the normal map, it was nice
Custom Content: 9/10. The weapons and majority of the models are custom, but the Knife model is not.
Fun Scale: 5/10. It was fun, but nothing too exciting.
Replayability: 3/10. Like Box Map X, except that Box Map X had an objective that could be unlocked and completed, unlike this map.
Overall Score: 25/40

Nice review Jiffy! Haven't tried the map yet, so your review was helpful ;)

I actually really love this map. Although nothing spectacular it is definitely replayable and fun as all heck with it's thousands of teleporters.
I'd give it 4/5

Solid review. I do wish this map was bigger and people had more incentive to play it, but loved the textures. Nice job
