' So this is my latest effort to build something a little different. It is a "spiritual successor" to my previous map Gulf Chronicle as it shares several key elements such as the emphasis on multi leveled fighting and avoiding death. Mostly though it is just because I liked the word "chronicle". Thanks to the whoever it was who suggested lunar in the shoutbox. A particular feature I am fond of is the lifts to the higher level. They propel the player high into the night sky and will hopefully make some cool WTF moments not really possible with foundrys low ceiling. As for actually describing the map, I'll let the pics do that. Unfortunately they look very very dull against such a bright forum skin. It doesn't look nearly this dull ingame, but if you are a moron please feel free skip this text and post "lol luks 2 dark for a reel game". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cull-JaNoi8 Enhanced images: Normal Images: Omfffg pics r so dark Some of you may wish to shield your eyes for the next sentence. There are no battle rifles in this map. WTF no battle rifles? Mallet you noob. There are a bunch of duel wield weapons, a shotgun, a hammer and two carbines. I chose this weapon set because battle rifles would hurt the dynamic I was aiming for. I nearly binned the carbines too so you should feel lucky. Equipment includes two regenerators and two trip mines, plus frag, spike and flame grenades. Please don't point out any imperfections in the map such as how "this box isnt aligned" or "its not quite symmetrical here". I'm also not interested about how you can get onto the real map, I've made it difficult to get onto it but its not impossible and I'm aware of this. If these things bother you feel free to make your own version. Finally heres the download link (with box spawn, lift ledge and barrier fixes): Linkzor I strongly recommend SMG starts (or any duelable weapons). I have left all the weapons and equipment working with the budget glitch so feel free to make any changes to meet your preferences. And now this damn map is finally finished, some Robyn to celebrate. Could she be any more wonderful? Perfection.
You should have removed the filter for pictures and just notified us about that one difference. Oh yeah, i must say it....First Posta-Palooza!!!
Nice work Mallet, you have really out-done yourself on this one. I will download and give an updated opinion.
Holy crap mallet this looks freakin cool, though I have come to expect nothing less from you! good job, I had no Ideal you were making this map so I shall rush to check it out...
wow mallet best map on balckout 10/5 this is utterly awsome i had no idea someone could pull this off omg
this looks great, im dling. Great job. Although, it would've been better if you'd removed the filter for the screens
Wow good job! Best Blackout Base I have ever seen but then again its from Mallet so anything Mallet forges turns to gold! LOL
Wow, this looks really impressive. I love the curvature you've made with the hill. What an exceptional trademark to have. I'll assume this plays very well with a small group as your other maps do, so unless something goes horribly wrong, I'll just leave my 'excellent job, sir' here.
Great looking map. My only question is which filters did you use? I'm making a map using the same area outside of Blackout and it's so dark without at least one filter. I'm using Pen&Ink and Juicy to brighten it up right now, but the colors look kinda weird.
..I completely agree with you, this map comes to life in actual game-play. Even with the colorblind(?) effect off this map looks astounding alone, I'm extremely jealous on your slope-making abilities. I also must thank you for finally giving me the realization that I absolutely love to see single boxes protruding over top an interlocked surface, I have to laugh to myself seeing as how I've downloaded many maps based on that alone. ..Also, in the Forge-through, other than the spawning error (he's fixed it now, no worries) I noticed no imperfections with your map, the surface is extremely well crafted. I don't think it's bumpy at all... ..I'll be back to post a review later, I'm recommending this to the Review Hub.
nice i was wondering when u were gonna post ur blackout map. btw, isnt placing those doors like using hassle-free interlocking?
this map looks amazing (would not expect anythign less from you) i like your use of the slope to make the gameplay smoother and more interesting. This is the first blackout map that i seem to like. I'll d/l and get back to you Lol no battle rifles, glad you kept the carbines
You are fantastic at interlocking. That hill looks flawless. I'd be insane not to download. Even if you did screw up the weapon selection (which I doubt) this map would still be more than a 5/5.
