This is my contribution for the 2v2 Throwdown competition. Acervus - is a Symmetric map with 3 levels. Players start on the middle one. Perfect for smaller slayer games. The map is now updated with more gametypes, a modified weapon list, better spawns for 2 vs 2 as for other gametypes and also slightly cleaner astethics. "New" Weapon list: 2 Assault Rifles 2 Plasma Repeaters 2 Plasma Pistols 2 Magnums 1 DMR 1 Needle Rifle 2 Needlers 2 Grenade Launchers 2 Concussion Rifles 1 Shotgun 1 Gravity Hammer + Grenades "New" Armor abillities: 2 Armour Locks 2 Holograms 1 Sprint 2 Active Camos 1 drop shield Blue Base Red Base Other photos of the map. This lift is placed in the middle on the bottom floor, Made to take you all the way to the top! First, Jump into the gravity lift and go up thru this small hole in the ceiling. You will pass by the second floor in this tunnel and sometimes pick up a overshield. (btw also a way to enter the lift) And last, you’ll come flying up from below to the top floor. Acervus
This map looks like it could be preety fun! I love the way you created the rounded roof's. Also the forging is preety clean from what i can tell, and the map is definitely Symmetric. Good job on the map!
There are many clever and innovative uses of forge objects in this map, and that's just from seeing the pictures. It's very well forged and interesting to look at. The spaces look open enough for good combat, but not so open that a player won't be able to find cover when necessary. While I like the picture you're using for the preview thumbnail, it seems like several of the other pictures in the thread will do a better job of attracting people's attention to your map. A few of them are really eye catching.
thanks man ^^ I'm allready working on some ways to improve both function and Aesthetics. Also fixing it with more Initial spawns to make the map playable to more gametypes and for more ppl then just for this competition. thanks for the comment. DL it later and see what you think of the changes. thank you! I actually have a special map in Forge world were I only try out diferent ways to combine parts. good way to find inspiration to make new maps. which picture do u think I should use as thumbnail instead of this one then? thanks for the comment!
You've got some seriously awesome aesthetics here bro, espeially those cover crenellations and doors, this map looks sweet and I seriously hope it wins 2v2
Your action shots are great. They show movement through the map and show off the aesthetics of the map at the same time. I'd use one of those for your thumbnail. Any of the ones that show players moving past the structures you made with the cover pieces, even the one showing a player moving up the lift, though that one might be better if you could see the players head. Just a personal suggestion. I'm no expert on marketing.
well thanks ^^ I was just curious if there were a special photo that you had in mind ^^ The update is done ^^ want alot of feedback
this map is Awesome! like all your other maps. someday I'm going to start a DeStarfighter Forge fanclub how do you make all your maps!? seems like you forge extremely fast and allways has a new Idea to it and simply every map you've done just looks great and the gameplays are allways awesome as well. whats your secret? tell me! ;P if you dont mind I really want to nominate this one as a featured map
thanks man ^^ I noticed that you allways seem to like my maps. thats really great well when I make a map I first think of some kind of theme. when I decided that I have a testmap where I only try out different parts together to see if I can fins something new and interesting. when I've made some parts that simple look awesome I start sketching on the map, thinking of how to put some dynamics in the map. should avoid to make a map completely flat I think. and then its just forging left. the best tip when you come this far is to just keep going. if you dont give up on a map it can turn out to be great ^^ It's ok as long as it doesnt disturb the map to the competition ^^
Star, everything in here looks amazing! D: I want to play on it with you - I only ever got to play that vertical emolitus with you. Message me next time I'm on.
Really enjoyed testing this with you man and I wish you luck for the competition! I especially liked the bottom and top parts! and the roof of the whole map is awesome, you have a real unique way of forging and its great!
