Hehe, at first glance it looked a bit "not special", but then I noticed that the author was Plutonic. I downloaded it right away :) But haven't tested yet.
It seems I have to give a score for it (no option to no score anymore), so I give 8. Just so that it draws attention. But after I've tested it I change if necessary.

Awesome map, great gameplay, amazing theme, only got stuck once due to bsp, and the bots could be smarter. I raised my score to 10 just to offset some of the lame scores.

Dude, the all caps thing is kinda stupid, and that is kinda a stupid question too. Do you really think they would include the entire game in the demo? If they did why would they even release the game in the first place?
Anyway, its a pretty cool map. It puts an interesting spin on a gametype I could never have seen happening on top of a building.

Nice map. Well designed and plays great. Plenty of ramps to jump off - yeeehaw!
Shame the rating is spoiled by people who haven't even got the game yet. Wait till you've played the map dickheads - duh!

Rating between 6 and 7... a nice map, a good looking map, but all sorts of bugs abound. Clipping problems with the edges of platforms and vehicles where vehicles just get stuck, collision areas that you can get through and have to suicide, being able to walk quite a far bit off of some platforms due to the same collision errors, bot issues galore (like a bunch of them chilling in the Leviathan trying to drive it while just bumping against the barrier on the platform), all sorts of other weird collision problems, etc.
...which is a shame, since otherwise the map is polished and full of ingenious ideas. These bugs are smooth gameplay showstoppers that just irritated me and my LAN-mates. Sorry. :(

One has to wonder how the rating on the front page could possible be 10. No review and user comment scores don't justify a 10.
Besides as Luquado mentioned the map is quite literally riddled with collision errors.

A good map. Interesting use of the levi for defense only. I'm not sure I like the fact that the middle nodes are so exposed. It makes it very hard to capture them long enough to move on to the next nodes. I found the map very complex with multiple levels and ways to and from most spots. I'm not sure I've even seen the whole map which is something I like.
Made props to Plutonic as always though for setting the ONS standard in mapping.

Brilliant map, a bit on the small side considering it's Onslaught, but it rocks! Leviathan for defense only, little ramps to 'daredevil' yourself to other platforms. Great stuff!!!!!

A great map. I havent played with bots yet, mostly just for stunts ;) The only thing I would like more would be one like this, but the gaps would be bigger and no way to make the gap without a vehicle or without full speed, there wouldnt just be a bridge like there is right now. Maybe one day, when im feeling less lazy and more ready to learn, i will learn to do this myself :P

Excellent map. The Levi for defense is especially innovative, and it can be turned against the defenders in the secondary link setup. The matches are very easy to turn around, and more than once I have been beaten when I had the enemy's core vulnerable, which leads to a very tense and exciting battle. The only thing I don't like is the size of the holes in the floor in the center; sometimes the smaller vehicles will fall through and get stuck.

Honestly, a very solid map. It's my hope that this is just a taste of things to come and that more ONS maps will come out that are designed in unique city settings or sky/spacescrapers like this, and not just more or less empty landscape.

Definately a very unique, creative idea. While it's not my favorite map, i definately have to give points for style, execution, and playability and in that sense it's nicely done. It can be a little easy to drive off the sides sometimes, but if youre a good driver, it shouldnt be a problem.

This is a great map. The only real flaw is that the bots tend to get vehicles stuck in holes or edges and when this happens they stay in the vehicle doing nothing until they etiher die or you use voice commands to tell them to "get out" or "suicide" . Lots of fun, a definite keeper.

its well built with lots of detail and very pleasing aesthetics, but it just doesnt play that great i dont think. my fps takes a hit whenever this map comes up on a server rotation.
aesthetics 9, gameplay 5 = 7

I hate it :) but I just can't seem to stop playing it. Maybe I should say I hate my play on it. I really suck with the vehicles here and resort to foot soldier warfare.
Levi imo is wasted and only serves as a spam device until destroyed by a raptor. Layout and nodes are nicely done the the design, mesh, textures and lighting are top notch.
An epic quality map imo.

THE GOOD:
A Fresh Theme. Icarus adds a new twist to the typical Onslaught map by setting its objectives in the middle of a half-abandoned highrise. Gameplay follows suit; rather than being one unbroken whole, Icarus is composed of several interconnected structures separated by mile-deep abysses. Naturally, careful driving is the order of the day.
Polished Visuals. As one might expect from a Plutonic effort, Icarus is attractive stuff, fitting in nicely among the retail maps. The architecture is generally a pleasure to look at; no more so than when you're navigating over the buildings in a Raptor in search of air-to-air kills.
THE BAD:
The Ramps. Trying to use a ramp in ONS-Icarus is a little like playing Russian Roulette; vehicles tend to get stuck at the edges with distressing regularity, leaving the driver with no choice but to abandon them. As a result, it's often safer to ignore the ramps entirely, robbing the map of one of its primary appeals.
The Leviathans. With nowhere to go, the map's two Leviathans are nothing more than glorified turret emplacements, annihilating everything in the area of the power cores until Raptor fire finally shuts them up. Excising them from the map wouldn't have hurt playability in any significant way.
Botplay. Bots seem a tad confused in places, abandoning vehicles at odd junctures; similarly, their ability to navigate the intricate turns required to get around the central section isn't always pristine.
THE VERDICT:
Good, but not great Onslaught effort. Ultimate playability is compromised by a few errors.

great detail, spectular botpathing, one prob: it gets SUPER JERKY when i look at the middle building and im flying :(
great map, though!
0.5 off for the sucky performance, im able to play Torlan with ALL OF MY DETAIL CRANKED, i had to turn it all to LOWEST, and i still got sucky performance when I look at the middle building and im flying. my im, and virus scan, and everything was closed, i had just rebooted, mabye a few antiportals in the upper section of the central tower.
oh, boy. i just ranted over 1/2 point! :P
im looking forward to furture releases from this author, just remember the anti portals; the more the merrier!

The levithan placement was a good idea but moving around the map with vehicles was too hard. That choke point node is too close to the base and too hard to defend. I don't see what the big deal about this one is. I never had fun playing it.
