Sub-System

As a heads up, the image for your team bathrooms is the same as your first image (the spawn camera image).

I love the look of this, though. Not only have you really gotten a good aesthetic feel for a subway system showing nice use of the forerunner object theme, but based on your images it looks like the scale is really well done for both aesthetic and playability purposes. I'm a sucker for some solid aesthetics, and I'd love to have a run around on this just from these few images you've got here. I'll be interested to see what the team spawn bathrooms actually look like, how closed in and spawn hive-esque they are would be my only worry, though obviously that's only wild conjecture based on the name you've given them.

 

This looks well forged. Is it designed for infection or any game type.

 

Let's get this out of the way right now...

In the year 2499 Galactic Toilets unveiled their patented "black hole anti-waste containment philosophy" or BHAWCP, to permenantly obliterate the necessity for waste management and disposal.

Within the center of each comfort and quality-assured waste interface (toilet seat), there is a miniscule, freely suspended black hole*. So small in fact that Galactic Toilets assures that it will never grow large enough to destroy the planet, at least not until enough waste has been consumed, at which point the 5 -year warranty will allow for your waste interface to be replaced.

Now there may be some individuals for which privacy and dignity is a concern. Fear not, for "Galactic Toilets has got your backside!" TM

Whenever one uses the waste interface, a personal cloaking device will render you invisible to all passers-by. But that's not all! Should someone unawares (due to cloaking) attempt to use an occupied waste interface, a harmless force field will activate and repel the individual, at which point an automated AI will direct them to an unoccupied waste interface.

So there you have it, cutting-edge technology to make the galaxy a cleaner and happier place!


*Please do not place hands or limbs inside the waste interface. Please do not throw garbage into the waste interface. Please do not attempt to dispose of expired pets in the waste interface. Please do not try to clean the waste interface, as doing so may result in placing of hands or limbs inside waste interface.

 

I got to say, love the sinks and bathroom. Its an idea I had tried to implement but couldn't get any further than toilets and stalls. I really didn't figure out the sinks or mirrors. Nicely done, and I may borrow your sinks later.

 

Looks great.

I want to play on it.

 

Its funny at the moment I am working on a subway map as well, but the difference is its being made for Left For Dead. If forgeworld had more objects I would make it look as aesthetically pleasing and awesome as yours.
But seriously this looks great. The station looks awesome, the bathrooms are hawt but may I suggest adding some seats to your trains? I don't whether its meant to be a public train or container train, but they look a little empty inside.

 

'Nuff said.

 

I must admit that I don't really like the round walkways coming down from the ceiling. When you added glass decor across the entire upper-levels and removed the turrets, that negated the need for any kind of cover across the middle. To me it doesn't really fit the map. I liked it better when it was open, but that's just my opinion. I'm sure you had a good reason for doing what you did.

 

i must say when i first saw this i got fairly scared because i too am working on a subway map centered around 2 trains but after reading your postmost of my fear has been removed. Because of the large differences in design. My trains are wider and have more developed interiors which comes at the price of not being able to develop the station with things such as bathrooms and the outer terminals and second floor as you have done.
If i may be so brash as to suggest this.im not sure of your budget but i found that railing longs make suitable train tracks when spaced evenly in those troughs the trains travel through. and i think that could really add to your train tacks and make them more realistic.

 

I posted a preview containing 2 of my maps (one of which being the subway map) if your curious of the interior of the train (although im considering altering the hand-hold-poles to tin cup flags) i wont link it simply because i dont want to advertise my map on your thread

And then in terms of the rails, i placed them low enough where theres hardly a bump when you cross them while still being visibly noticable, although if your budget cant support it with all of your other additions i more than understand (im struggling with the buudget on my own map as well)

 

This looks excellent. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised after Embassy but still, I can't wait for you to publish this one.

I easily see some epic battles on this map and I think that Assault will suit this map VERY well too.

 

Very cool looking map. I like the aesthetics of it all. And you're train is pretty sweet. Good eye sir!

Coincidentally, I just finished a map that is also of the same theme... Mine is based off of a 2x3 City Block that includes an underground station near where I live though.
(U-Bahn is an underground train in Germany/Austria)
