    Yeah, I downloaded that video pretty quickly to see how you guys used the map. I think my favorite part of that match was when one of the warthogs carrying the flag carrier gets ambushed by a player with the hammer. That definitely made me laugh. Wish I could have played with you guys....

    I was one of the guys inside the warthog and believe you me, I practically **** myself when he ambushed us from nowhere! :D.

    Nice touch with that inclusion of the Hammer. Makes it that much more interesting.

    Lol, I told you guys to check out the maps before we play them. I was waiting for those barrels to spawn.

    Even though this idea has been done to death, it seems like this map could have more depth to it than the pictures reveal. I'm going to check it out.

    Much better than Turf, in my opinion. And a very different feel. So don't go in expecting that.

    Wait where there any major changes to this map when you updated it? I have the original one and was curious if i should re-download it.

    There were a few changes, some significant, others subtle. The normal warthog was swapped out for a gauss hog, its much more dangerous now. I also got rid of the flash equipment....it was just annoying. I also added barriers to the top of boxes to deter players from reaching the upper portion of the map. Although I must say my brother has broken this many times using a well timed grenade jump, followed immediately by an equipment jump.

    I'd wait for the next update though. I'm taking the feedback from the review to improve the map. It should be up by tomorrow night.

    During our game on Tuesday Shock got up on top of the boxes. I was sure he was up to no good, so I killed him. :)

    gorebound's Furious Review

    [​IMG]


    Enjoyment: We played a game of Multi flag on the map and even though I like the map’s layout I can’t say that it worked perfect with this game type. It’s a good map and it offers a decent experience but it could be better.

    Balance: I couldn’t find any balancing issues really except for the fact that the flag runs are extremely short due to strategically placed barrels. And I had a hard time finding weapons suited for long ranged battles, but that’s not really something that drags down the impression that the map makes on me.

    Durability: As I’ve stated earlier on in the review there are some issues that shortens the map’s durability. If certain barrels were to be removed and by that lengthen the distance that the players have to travel in order to move from one spawn to the other, then the map would greatly heighten it’s durability in my eyes. I can’t find any other problems with it other than the aforementioned barrel problem.

    Aesthetics: Who would’ve thought that such a basic idea as to place standing double boxes to make a city landscape would be a good idea? Draw The Line is the answer. I generally applaud this man for making a great playing field with so small means. There’s really nothing to complain about.

    Overall: Even though I wasn’t completely convinced by the game we played on the map I still like it.
    There are some parts that you could’ve done better but there really isn’t need for me to point anything out when several others already have. I hope that we get to see maps of the same caliber from you in the future.

    Alright, the dreaded barrels are now gone. And spawn areas have been added to ensure fair spawns. Hopefully that will drastically improve gameplay.

    You have no idea how much I wish this map was mine, especially with those things fixed. It's going on the HD.

    I played a 3v3 multi flag match on this today and it was so much fun. I loved the windows separating the two flag score areas in the back and the upper cat walks lead to some good long range battles. Weapon placement was good and flame grenades felt really great on this level. I just wish i knew where Sniper spawned. 8.5/10
