Dare was originally inspired by my live account expiring. I needed a small 1v1/2v2 size map on my hard drive to play locally with friends. Yes, the ones from the community are great, but they don't support four people to a console very well. Sitting down with paper and pencil I began to design Dare. My goal was to create an aesthetically pleasing, symmetrical map that could support four people on a single console. Another hurdle I wanted to tackle was the fact that it was a small map, therefore I knew I was going to be able to forge it in merely ten hours. Wanting to spend more time on my map, I went the extra mile with the ammount of time I spent on aesthetics. I made sure that every structure was unique and original, nothing was rushed. In the end I have accomplished forging a map that runs smoothly with four on the same console and have a remaining budget of 5,000+. The aesthetics are structures you will not find in any other map and the ammount of testing that went into this map is substantial due to the only requirements needed in order to test were me grabbing one to three friends as opposed to larger maps that require seven friends in order to test. Once I finished building my map, it came time to come up with a name. I spent about an hour meditating on the community and reminiscing about past matches I had played. It humored me when I thought of opponents who went into a rage when they lost and screamed, "I DARE you to 1v1 me!" Hence Dare's name's origin. Dare is one of three maps that I have posted. I believe it is my best work to date and I hope you enjoy it. If you want to use the settings I used to test it please make the following changes to your settings; Frag: x1, AA: Sprint, Evade, and Hologram; and Initial Weapons: AR primary, DMR secondary. Here is a weapon list and some screenshots. I hope to have a video up soon. Weapon List: Focus Rifle: x1 Grenade Launcher: x1 Needle Rifle: x2 Needler: x2 Invisible Orb: x1 Health Pack: x3 Pictures:
Very interesting looking map, I like the glass window and that you put it on an angle rather than vertical. I can tell this is a very neatly forged map, but it seems you lack pictures. It would help if you posted more so we could get a better view of the map. It's good that you took your time and tried to make everything original; that is one aspect most forgers forget sometimes, even me. Looks like you added color as well, which is a great thing to do on a map so you can get a better feel for it. Definetly going to check this out I will hopefully be back with some good feedback.
I would recommend sending this to the Review Hub to get a precise rating and critiques on your map. Don't worry, were very professional.
Well I like the fact that you start off your post with a few paragraphs just simply talking to forgehub about things such as inspiration, Ideas, and Goals of your map. I like that you drew and designed your map on paper before actually forging it. As for the map its self, You need way more pictures to better show the map. But I like the aesthetics that I see in the pictures you already have. I'll repost when you add more pictures. Good job.
This is a very beautifully forged map. The windows are in such a basic design, yet they add a ton to the map. I really need to download this map so I can post more feedback about it. Awesome map overall!!!
I could add more pictures, but there isn't anything else to show due to it being a symmetrical map. Thank you, I will definitely do that, I'm always looking for constructive criticism, especially from people who don't have the spawn layout memorized.
