Distortion

This is a small FFA slayer map designed for 2-4 people. But there's a bit of a twist, can you figure it out?

Version 1.3 now actually supports 1 Flag, 1 Bomb, Crazy King, Oddball and Land Grab. 1 Flag and 1 Bomb can probably handle 3v3.

WARNING: You should not play this map if you suffer from motion sickness and/or are pregnant!

Just walking down the stairs, no up the stairs, no wait what?


Who invited Spiderman?


Peek-A-Boo I see you!


"Hey what's going on down there? Oh god forget I asked!"


Lets just party on the ceiling!


So I got this idea from a map called "Cube" which allowed you to walk on two sides of a room.

I really wanted to take the idea to the next level, to make a multi-roomed map that altered perspective depending on what room you were in and how you were positioned in it. You will feel all kinds of disorientation on this map, personally I love going along the bridge, it feels so weird, I feel like I'm actually walking vertically when I'm on it.

Interesting fact: You can walk on almost every surface you see. To achieve this I had to build everything at a 45 degree angle to allow you to walk on both sides of the rooms and to allow a ceiling in one room to be a floor in another.

Version 1.2 Changes:
-Minor tweaks to map layout (added 2 new fence wall ledges, altered stairs to be a bit more walk-friendly and made teleporter "right way up" in the upside-down room).
-Now supports 1 Flag, 1 Bomb, King of the hill, Oddball and Territories.
-In Asymmetric gametypes the teleporters have been altered to better balance gameplay. and the twisting corridor has been blocked off.
-Weapon spawn times have been tweaked.
-Some slight spawn placement adjustment, there are 7 spawn points in an FFA gametype. More in the bases for 1 Flag and 1 Bomb.
-Added frag grenades to the upside-down room.

Version 1.3 Changes:
-Fixed 1 Flag so you can actually score now... >.>
-Minor tweaks to the map so the gaps in some of the walls don't look so bad
-Altered map description to be more accurate. It actually supports Crazy King and Land Grab, not KOTH and Territories.

yeah the 3rd room is kind've like a "breather" room, a chance to re-orientate yourself. The idea of it being upside down was just to make it a bit more interesting. Plus it was the best way I could implement that "twisted corridor" I wanted to do. That and I wanted to stick a BR on the ceiling, did you spot it?

Be wary of trying it with more than 4 people, I only placed like 5 spawn points.

 

Yeah stickies are fun. It's funny when they appear to be sticking to the "walls".

Glad you enjoyed the map.

 

Lol, yes I have played Shift.

The whole point was to confuse and disorientate and create a very different style of gameplay.

I wanted to make a map that truly disorientated the player. Shift only had one angle, one floor and one room. My map has several angles, several rooms and even several floors within the same room!

I think I achieved what I set out to do, create something that truly disorientates the player. Trust me it's a fun map to play with 3 or so friends.

If you can't stand the confusion you can always hang out in the upside-down room but you'll be missing out on the party.

Infact I've been working out the logistics and you could make a map with 3 different floors in one room by creating a room with it's base as a corner rather than an edge, hmmmm. Now to think of a way of interconnecting such rooms...
