    Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that out of all my maps, this one is my best so far. I spent about 15 hours (over a long period of time) and i thought i should share it with you.

    It is a medium size map with a unique build. The power weapons on the map are:
    grenade launcher X 2
    Sniper X 2
    energy sword X 1 (i accidentally said there was two of them, sorry.


    there are lots of other weapons on the map as well but those are JUST THE POWER WEAPONS. here is a quick video of the map.

    you need some pictures mate, or the mods will come get you in your sleep. also.. you dont need to feel bad about spending 15 hours on a map.. most great maps require more. =P

    Looks neatly forged and whatnot. You might want to change the max player count, when I first saw it I was a bit confused lol. Anyway I like the design, the middle might be a nade pit but I haven't had time to play it yet so I'll hopefully have some better feedback for you soon.

    He has a video, so he doesn't need pics..

    Anyways, this map looks awesome. The center with the turquoise looks beautiful and I like that you incorporated some water into the map. The only thing I'd say is quite an eye-sore is that random grass part in the middle. I know you're trying to make it look more aesthetically pleasing, but it just doesn't fit well IMO. I think it would look much better without it. Overall, I like the layout, it's definetly unique and different. I can't quite comment on gameplay, but if I get some games on this tonight, I'll make sure to leave you some feedback.

    Edit: You've too many power weapons. It's going to turn into a power weapon fest, which most of the time isn't that much fun. I suggest you remove one of each.

    hey guys, thx for all of the feedback, i changed the max player count, :p forgot to put that to 16 haha. I don't really want to get rid of the grass in the middle cuz it looked really plane and ugly without it, that's y i added in the first place, ;). if you want you can go onto forge and delete it yourself, you can, cuz i, personally like it better with grass. No offence.

    It's all up to you. If you like it, keep it. I'm just suggesting you change it so it doesnt clash so much with the rest of the map. You could always try something else? I would suggest something, but I would have to experiment a bit before I could.

    The one thing that I would change would be the Man Cannons in the middle of the map. I would make them jump pads instead. Then players wouldn't run into them by accident.

    Here is a video on how to make jump pads. Click here!

    I really like the middle circle and the design, and I think that the grass actually makes it look nicer. However, i agree with Knight and suggest replacing/moving the grav lifts.. because they're sort of (to me) an eye-sore in an otherwise nice map. Also, i think outside of the middle circle-ish structure it lost some of its touch.

    ^- all by judging the video

    The map looks like it has only one path from base to base. I would recommend opening up a path on each side, give for more options. Just my thought, other than that the power weapons seem too plentiful and the grav lifts are... awkward looking. Just sorta... there randomly. (if you havent changed them) but the design is nice and pretty. I like this and I think it has potential! Good work!

    Thanks

    Yes, this is how I, personally like team based maps. One pathway with all of the action. I know people might disagree, but I forge what I like to play, and not what others do. I post maps that I want to play, and I post them in case other people also want maps like this. So I appreciate everyones feedback a lot, but I like my maps how they are, or else I wouldn't bother to post them.
