I Agree with DJ even if it is a warm up map i see no effort. And even if you did make another good map that has no relevance here. Nice color though.
I have nothing to learn from him at all. The forum is here to provide feedback for people's maps. If they are too sensitive to admit that there maps aren't perfect, that's there problem.
Take personal discussions to PMs. Any more of this pointless arguing is going to be infracted from this point on.
It's a replacement for the Octagon. The simplicity of is is intentional and required to provide the gameplay that warm up maps provide. I shouldn't have posted this, because nobody seems to know what warm up maps are.
I actually like it. The simplicity is what makes it stand out, and the overall visual theme is a lot better than typical maps. It's not too distracting and simply does what it is intended for. The only improvement a warm up map should have is height variance so you're not just working the X axis...
Thank you. And your exactly right. The map is flat. I have another warm up map with verticality, but I'm afraid to post it, lol.
I wouldn't download this map because i don't enjoy spending the little time I have on Reach shooting a DMR around at nobody when I could actually get a game in. It isn't very well forged, and besides the color choices, I think their is little to no creativity involved.
Wow, it was hard to tell that that comment was personal /sarcasm. If you don't like shooting the DMR, don't DL it. It is as well forged as a tunnel, long only map could be with these angles. There is creativity involved, I have never seen anybody make a map that looks remotely like this. Leave your thoughtless posts out of this thread, nothing you said is useful...you're just pouting like a little kid.
I think the biggest problem is that this map is posted in the competitive maps section even though it's not meant for competitive matches, but rather warm-up matches. And as a warm-up map I think it's pretty good as far as those go. It's like Octagon with cover, which is a nice addition. Especially with all the coloured lights which give you a good sense of orientation.
I'm not evening going to start....but just because you don't like a post, doesn't mean it's thoughtless. You could make some major changes to this map and it could cone out to be a good competitive map. Make the middle a little elevated, trash the outer tunnels and drop a few weapons down and this could be a great map for multiteam and slayer. Also, is this map playable whatsoever? Are their decent spawns and any weapons at all? You should've at least added those if you didn't before posting.
Alright, everyone is being foolish in this thread. Every single goddamned person. If someone were to give some legitimate feedback on this map, which few people have done, then xzamplez would listen. The only actual feedback given so far has been to create some sort of Z-axis challenge, which xzamplez already recognizes. Does that mean that this map is absent of all other problems? No. But seeing as people aren't in here to actually critique the map for what it is, then obviously xzamplez is not going to listen. Xzamplez has already stated multiple times that this map is a WARM-UP MAP. These types of maps do not need weapons. They also should not be very big. It isn't designed to be a competitive map. That isn't its purpose. So please, stop being stupid. That last bit is especially annoying; it just shows that you did NOT download the map, you did NOT care to recognize the purpose of the map, and that you're just flaming this thread for a personal vendetta against xzamplez from the feedback he gave your map previously, which is simply childish. Look people. This is a warm up map. A warm up map that has decent spawns, and decent orientation, both of which are rare on warmup maps. I'm going to go ahead and infract any more comments made after my initial post that doesn't pertain to the map, and any more are going to get heftier infractions. Be civilized or get out, and that goes for everyone.
And that bolded piece of text RIGHT THERE, proves you didn't look into this at all. I have never posted a map here, which, if you used your head I guess, means there is NO WAY he could have given feedback on a map of mine that doesn't even exist! Furthermore, I completely understand this is a warm up map, and I gave him some ideas on how he could make this a good competitive map, the second part of my post may have sounded a tad arrogant, but it was for my previous suggestion, just as to see how different this was from a competitive map in terms of what has been forged as of now. I had thought this was a little silly that it was posted in competitive, because it could have been placed in casual maps, because warm ups are a casual thing to do before competitive gaming, like xzamplez said. Decent spawns and decent orientations are rare in warm up maps, like you said, because we don't usually get lots of warm-up maps to judge around here. I'm trying to be civilized but when xzamplez tries to call me out and say I'm pouting like a little kid because he doesn't like my thoughts on his map, that just becomes childish on his end, not mine. In all honesty on the map thought, use some other pieces other than tunnels, unless it's your goal. Leave it a bit more open so grenade spam isn't a major issue. But i do really like the overall layout of it and the aesthetics are fairly decent.
Xzamples, this looks like a great map for it's purpose. I made something similar, but a different shape with 2 levels. I might actually post it so gimme a comment if ya want.
Well I take it everyone has a problem nowadays, but I rather like it simple like octagon but not just a round room makes for great use of evade. I think you have something here that could spawn a new gametype.
The evade was used as an interesting variable to the map. When 4+ people are playing, evade makes it very hectic. Please don't comment unless you've played the map.
Because we all enjoy our share of hectic. Evade on a small map is annoying. Having only one heavily decreases the abuse, but I personally still don't like it. It's more of a cheap way out of a battle than anything else. On a side note: You don't have to sound so hostile in your posts. Nothing good can come out of it.
If each quadrant has a different color, it would be very good to keep track of where you are. Nice idea.
