    for helping me relocate the entire map halfway across forgeworld

    O and Career and Tom, you guys can post your maps with MY floor design now. lol

    Story Behind Bioshock!
    Bioshock started as a completely different map, with nothing the same besides the use of 3x4 blocks. I scrapped that entire idea and started this map, with no idea what i was making or previous planning for it. I had showed my secret floor design to TOMisHIGH, which lead to him wanting to use it, i wanted to be the first to post my floor, so i started the new Bioshock. in 2 days the map was finished. the next week i just tweaked small things and eliminated any Z fighting. But the Sewers were pissing me off because of the damn Choppy water going under and back up through the blocks. So the Entire map was relocated to clamer waters. and hours of testing later it was finally 100% done.​

    nice map you've got here marcass. I enjpyed the game we had on this the other night, even though I threw away a massive lead and ended up losing to you lol. Floor is pretty nice and love the sewer pipes in the water. Overal a nice little map with soldid gameplay.

    The super ultra special thanks is much appreciated. I haven't played a map that plays this smoothly since Jia. I'm shocked you kept the hole on the walls, but then again, the map is called Bioshock; would been a bit more misleading without them.

    I remember Testing this. When you told me the name of the map I didn't really see what Bioshock had to do with your map. But now that I'm seeing it again I see the resemblence. Great job on this. I love the little sister hole. Keep it up.

    To everyone else, This is a great map. So smooth and well forged. Plenty of great cover and nice aesthetics.

    This map was a blast to play on, especially infection. The flow was smooth and even though I joined in during the middle of a FFA game, I was able to immediately pick up on the general layout and end up with 13 kills. Awesome job dude. Also, I think you forgot to set the min/max players, cuz it definitely supports more than 1 person.

    I like my screenshot, it really gets how I play in halo, bad. The map was well done and played smoothly. You did great Marcass, really touched this one out there to make it unique.

    This is a must download, enough said! No really though, this map is absolutely amazing everyone! I could go on and on about what makes this map so great. A good majority of asymmetric maps suffer from balance issues. This map is unlike many, and is nearly perfect. The way in which Marcass set up the map forces players to stay on the move. The flow is seamless, the height variations have multiple pathways up and down and the spawns are pretty good! This has to be one of my favorite asymmetrical maps made in reach, and deserves a download. Not to mention the maps aesthetics are amazing, and the floors are super sexy! Great Job marcass I have nothing bad to say, one of your best maps yet!

    This is looking great, really well forged, the little sister hole looks just right, I like the floor made of 2*1 blocks, looks great. Really like your use of long braces... and as a fan of bioshock look forward to getting some games on this. Have you made a big brother juggernaut gametype ?

    LOL ya i was thinkin of that exact idea.. having a big brother juggernaut, but im soooo bad at gametypes i gave up on the idea. I need to find someone to make that for me though, it would just be fitting for the map name... "big Daddy on Bioshock"

    Wow! I love the way you brought a Bioshock aesthetic to life. Honestly you've made me dig out the original game for another playthrough. Not sure if I can think of a better compliment. Have you played around with a gametype? It could be fun to create the fast pace of Bioshock's multiplayer. You could use a custom power up for the big daddy suit.

    This seems like a great map. I can't wait to give it a run-through. As far as the Big Daddy gametype goes, I would be happy to make something if you'd like.

    I love Bioshock (one of my favorite game franchises), and I love that you made such a good map to honor such a great series.

    To be honest with you, this is one of the better maps i have seen on Forgehub. It makes me think so much of the map Complex from Goldeneye007, a map i know you have done a wonderful remake on. Cause by looking at the pictures it seems so complex and to have the nicest flow. I really can't see why it's called Bioshock (except for water and that really sweet Lil' Sis' Hole), but that's probably cause the Forging objects are pure grey. It's still nice to look at this map.

    I give a download!

    EDIT: If it is Bioshock, i think you should to Juggernauth Big Daddy to it, like someone already pointed out in the comments. Like slow movement, but maybe Evade for when then charge at you and Needle Rifle do remind me of Rivet Gun a tad. I think you could come up with something nice!

    Oh and the "humans" must have some kind of wrench!

    This is your best map yet Marcass. You're getting better and better at forging and this map is proof. Testing was a blast especially in infection. Team slayer was really fun too and I think that the power weapons on the map were perfect for it. Nothing too overpowering and that made gameplay very smooth. The use of building blocks to make certain patters on the floors of the map was genious and creative, not to mention the sister holes', even if I've no idea what they are. (Never played Bioshock.) Anyways, the orange lights don't cause ANY framerate lag at all and the multiple height variations and the drop down holes in the upper floor really made gameplay intense and fun. Great work Mucus...I MEAN, Marcass ;)

    yes i think that infection is probably the most fun gametype on this map. and i was going for a lot of different acess routes. so that you can escape or ambush extremely fast.

    Ah, another satisfied customer i see. im happy that you enjoyed this map, the tacticical rocks indeed a fun route to take, just be careful not to fall in.. i bet i'll start seeing that floor design used in some new maps. the reason i made it was because a couple firends wanted to use that floor design, and i wanted to be the first to use and post it.
