    Somebody call the whambulance, guys! Haha. It's just a bunch of saving/quitting, isn't it?

    But I agree with supa here. The map plays better (more fun) than any of furious' other maps... and that's saying something. Can't wait to see what he does with Avalanche.

    Yes, but a lot of saving and quitting. You know how when you want something to line up perfectly how you have to pick it up and drop it a few times to make small adjustments? Well due to the traits in that area, even if you have a bridge below the object to act as a temporary floor, you still need to save and quit before you let go of the object. It'll disappear otherwise. So every time I needed to make the slightest adjustment, I needed to save and quit. And I wanted the map to be perfectly symmetrical with the same angles and jump distances, so I made a lot of adjustments.

    It didn't take a lot of Forge skill, but it took a long time. And I think it paid off. And I think I deserve to be able to whine about it a little.

    I doubt he was referring to you, Furious. I think he was referring to the ones who, with a mere glance at the pics, said it was nothing special and fell back on the tired 'auto-feature' pseudo-argument. Anyone who's done any serious forging knows the amount of time it would take to make that map considering its location, and playing it shows it even more because everything is placed just so for a smooth gameplay. Let the tourists say what they will; I know better.

    No, I was referring to Furious, squid. But jokingly, of course. I know how much of a pain this would have been to get just right.

    I personally think it's cluttery, and like thrown together really fast.

    Just my opinion.

    Its in a death zone so whenever he dropped something it disapeared making proper neat angles impossible.It might not be as aesthetically pleasing as some maps made on say foundry but it does have one hell of a cool feature.
    Besides isn't this "lore" wise effectively us jumping around on rocks in a lava flow?
    Makes sens thta its not gonna be perfect right angles :)

    Yeah, I built this one during the whole "wah, I'm tired of Foundry" phase everyone was going through.

    This map is great! I play KOTH with a few friends and it gets pretty crazy trying to stay on those blocks with grenades flying everywhere. Good job on this!

    Had a free-for-all on this map a couple of days ago before I knew it was on Forgehub. Is every good map on Forgehub these days?

    hmm
    this is one of the only featured maps i did not download
    i think its because this can only be played with the gametype
    i think people perfer maps that support a few types, this is so that the map has a little bit of flexability

    i'm not saying the maps bad at all, its very good, 5/5.

    Hey, can I use this as a base for creating my own map out in that area?
