Burn

Suggestion: Don't fall.​

Gem of the Week - Site Update January 16th
&
FHF V Winner
​

Burn was originally intended to be a 1v1 map, but turned out much larger than I expected. I'm going to compare it to Sequence, the most known map. They're about the same size. And in my opinion, Sequence is too large for 1v1, but promotes movement so well, it makes it feel smaller. So it's actually large enough for a 3v3 at most. Although its set up for 4v4. And I think the gameplay excels, overall.​

Speaking of Sequence, this map also has "death pits," but not to worry, these are MUCH harder to fall into. The only real threat of falling to your death is failing the "Ladder Jump."​

​

The "Ladder Jump," brings us to our next topic: Movement. Travel between the two floors of Burn are easy. There are three lifts, one jump up and, as I said before, the "Ladder Jump." To give an idea of these here are a few screenshots of them.​

​

The map is also set up with two red lights, and a NextGen FX Nova, and all with NO SCREEN LAG OR Z-FIGHTING! The FX Nova is meant to make the red in the map stand out more, and to get rid of the blue. Because the map is named 'Burn,' so what else could go better than red? or worse than blue, ya know?

And if all of that isn't enough to get you to download the map, here is a video of me (Hi Im Erupt) and my brother (Im MaGiikal) having a 1v1 match. It showcases some gameplay on this map, along with the jump ups and lifts. Enjoy!​

Thanks! I have a 4v4 coming right not but there's one wall that isn't very aesthetically pleasing, which annoys me to the extent of not posting it. I will probably end up posting it anyway, as the map has something no other has had yet. I think. I don't know if its been used.

We also have to try my new 4v4! I would have last night, but Bleu booted me because I was lagging. But that's because I was working on uploading that video^ -so my connection not being very good first off, turned horrible, sorry =/ Anyways, I got tired of waiting for the Tester's Guild and just posted it. I'm so impatient, but I will make a v2 if I change anything recommended by the testers. So watch out for it!

Updated the Thread
Which means...

• Gameplay Video!
• Weapons List!
• Fixed GRAMMAR ERRORS!

Thank you!


ALSO, IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO WORK RESPAWN AREAS, I WOULD BE THANKFUL FOR SOME HELP-- I TRIED, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF I GOT THEM RIGHT. (CTF)

To be honest, I do have a mic. I just choose not to use it, because I believe I'm much younger than you guys, and don't feel like taking crap about my voice and what not :/

Thanks, but most inspiration came from the up-side-down 'gold lift' on Sequence. Because, well, all the lifts on this map are up-side-down. haha, Citadel never really came to mind, but now that you mention it, it kinda does! Sweet!

@anime halo

Customs act as overshields with the gametype. And the map almost feels as if it has too few power weapons. The rockets and grenade launcher disappear from the game very fast, leaving the overshields, the sniper and the plasma pistol. The plasma pistol, being mostly unused, isn't too overpowering, although helps a lot with the overshields, as do the spikers, mainly leaving the sniper to be the decider.

Also, the ladder is made out of one was shield 2's, pulling you up and then the last one is angled so it shoots you onto the ground where the rocket spawns, rather than just up. The idea came from Spawn of Saltine's (unposted) map, Infinieghty.

Anyways thanks a lot everyone!

EDIT: Flag spawns in CTF are to be moved. I played a 2v2 CTF earlier and realized they were abit too close. Changing and updating soon.

 

Thanks. Just don't play CTF yet! I haven't updated it, so it might be a fail as of right now.

And I don't know if it was you that booted me, to be honest. I think you were the party leader and it said "Removed from party by leader," so I don't know. And I will start using my mic, if it would help. Anyways, thanks a lot!

 

Thanks, haha. That's quite the compliment Although I highly doubt I can beat out NeXn... Though I'm working on it. I haven't heard much feedback on gameplay, so thanks a lot, I hope everyone else thinks the same. As for the aesthetics, if you saw it without the FX you would puke, it looks nasty, IMO. lol

And lmao @ wreckage, if your talking about my post on ReCove.

Anyways, thanks, looking forward to testing your next map, by the way. <3

 

Thanks, I thought the FX really help the aesthetics, as well as bringing out the red, which marks the deaht pits, essentially helping gameplay.

And I'll remember your GT if we ever have an extra spot to fill.

Thanks!

 

Haha, yeah you can thank me for any attention your map is getting . Lol, no, Infineighty deserves more attention then it's getting, sadly. And some pukey maps are getting tons of attention. It's dumb, really. I'm gonna nominate yours for FHF V, I think.

And thanks, since I joined here I've been understanding this whole Forge thing way better. So I suppose my maps should be looking/playing better.

My ladder is basically the same as yours. Just that it's hanging over a death pit, and is marked with an Active Camo AA. It doesn't have your aesthetic 'rums' that your ladders have, because I felt that was more towards stealing, rather than referencing the idea into my map.

Anyways, thanks a lot! If your on tonight, I'll be glad to run customs with you. Although I know you prefer Minigames...

 

I can get a custom going right now, probably. I'll be on for awhile, too. But I know its later where you are sooo, yeahh..

 

Thanks. Although it wasn't indended to be like that, lol. I, myself got an actual game on it today, and even in getting crushed, I liked it, not to be cocky, lol. I would like someone else's POV on the map still. I haven't gotten much real feedback on gameplay, yet. Lol
