Sandbox Disposition

I really like this map. I only had to take one quick look and it ended up on my hard drive =]. I like those shoots in the bases that make for a quick escape with the flag, and helps utilize the whole map!! Cant wait to get some epic 4v4 and FFA on it! Great job man!!

 

i was glad to help you test this map for the first time awhile ago and im glad to hear the
people's responses to it. i really loved the layout and the map is beautiful. You have a skill in forging and im glad that other people like it as well. thanks for showing us your talent. keep up the forging =]

 

i think it looks very well put together and i wan't to play it right now ... nice design nice gameplay i would think and i just want to play it 5/5

 

Wow your post are great . Because you have put a lot of video of your map to know the gameplay of eatch gametypes . your map are great for the base and the desing of your map . Your weapon selection are great for this style of map and the rocket spawn are very cool . 5/5

 

Slayer is backwards, red is attackers and the blue are defenders.

 

You can thank black theorem for that info, I would have never found out if it weren't for him.

 

Cool, making a whole bunch of updates. Thanks for filming me on FFA! My sniping was off but i wont brag how good i was, jk... I can see you added the railings that people suggested so thats good, the whole map is really amazing, it seems so small, yet plays like a pretty big map.

 

Redownloaded, tested for jumps. Ya know, you're a smart person, you. No brute shots, no spike grenades, and no power drains. Gosh darn, it's pretty much jump proof now. Not only that, but I think the columns look better that way.

Great job, this map will stay in my hard drive for a long time now.

 

Outstanding, I'll proof it once more just in case.... I check the most random places for flaws.

Great overview.

 

I'm not sure why, but I'm getting an "Ascension" vibe from this. Incase you're not aware of what that is, it's a map from Halo 2

 

Man, this is a really nice map. I love the Aesthetics when your at the bottom of the map, and you look up at the roof! Very good post; I enjoyed the videos as well.

 

This map was a favorite at a 4-day LAN party I went to over my Thanksgiving break. I downloaded a bunch of custom maps to bring with me and played over 20 team games on this one and a dozen FFAs. Everyone wanted to know who made it. It was praised for gameplay like Narrows and Blackout.

I got some serious suggestions for it, though, but it's not mine! So I decided to give this a review, but not before saying I absolutely love it and won't ever delete it.

First is the placement of the rockets and OS. Simply put, I think they should be reversed. The OS rush at the beginning set the tone of gameplay for the rest of every match: rush the middle. Whoever gained OS at the beginning also hosted a huge advantage over the other team immediately upon its acquisition. That is to say, one team has an invincible member to play clean up. It was a guaranteed extermination on two occasions, one with myself and a couple games later with someone who I victimized doing so, where someone who'd played the map previously would be the first to the shield by several meters and completely annihilate the other team with his starting equipment before they got their bearings.

I think they should be swapped. In the rush to the middle, the person who picked up rockets would still have to live with them in hand after all was said and done. Whether they got a successful shot off depended on the coordination of their team. Even though the trip to bottom mid for OS would be easier, given that not everyone goes below first, it also meant that it would not come into use for the person who gets it except for killing whoever else went for it and until they return up top where its invincibility wears off by the time they get there. I might also suggest making only one clip for the rockets so that they don't become a huge problem for the middle balance as well.

The second issue is the bottom floors as a whole. Let's take a look at Th3 Kuzinator's flag run in that video. He drops down the chute with the flag to avoid the conflict in the middle... and has to go right back up middle again anyway. Big problem for objective, and a problem with linear gameplay on the map in general. I must admit that most of my games hardly made use of the lower floors at all. It's a bit of a waste of space.

I have a suggestion for how to amend this, without any change to the major gameplay of the map, but I doubt I could explain it here. I'd have to explain in depth via party. This is coming from an inexperienced forger, but an experienced player. A couple friends from the LAN spree also wanted to see the bottom floor get some more emphasis. Other suggestions from them were given like various equipment placements, BRs on the bottom corners, and a bridge extending horizontally underneath the rocket spawn.

I'm new, I've never done a map review, and it may not be a big deal to others, but I fell in love with this map, and would love to give some kind of input of my own. I'm also well aware of the budget limit being reached in the current version, but I'm confident it could still be done.

I tried. After I finished typing it, I was fairly sure I'd confused myself. T_T Perhaps sometime when you are on Live.
