    Heatwave
    Created by LIGHTSOUT225

    Everyone has seen their fair share of floating sky bases in their time, but none are quite as elegant or impressive as LIGHTSOUT225’s Heatwave. The defensive sky base offers players a semi-lockout feel combining some technical jumps with some creative shooting angles. Storm the base by banshee, man cannon, or through a variety of teleporters. Coordinated strikes are a must for attackers, as the sky base’s defenses are steep and varied. In addition to the defensive sky base, Heatwave uses both of Standoff’s default bases in an attempt to spread the battles around the entire map. High flying action and big explosions are inevitable, and an extremely fast-paced nature keeps gameplay from ever becoming stagnant. Best suited for one-flag with 3 minute rounds, and 8-12 players.

    This is a fantastic map, so deserved to get featured.
    A great feature is a grav lift into a teleporter, it makes you think you're going up very fast. Genious.

    While it doesnt have an extremely complicated design, it is still one of the funnest maps to date.

    This is a fairly good map - in design and build. I saw the topic last month and it was very cool.

    I remember playing this a while ago, as it is in all maps, the banshee's dominate. I can remember the race to the banshee at the start of each round.

    I would have to say that its a good map (I played on it before. . .) but its not amazing or anything. I don't think a few of the latest featured maps, including this one, were really good enough to be featured. Renegade maybe. . but the map packs. . .and saucers. . .

    i personally think this is a very well forged map.. floating object with out using building blocks underneath and making them come out as straight as this map is no easy task.. it takes time cuz u have to save and quit so much.. and i love where the flag spawns its has a Relic sort of feel to it.. lol and we took a BEAST screenshot on this map on last nites TGIF [​IMG] lol well great map 5/5 and i already have it but ill DL again lol :)

    First let me say Congrats to Lightsout for getting a featured map!

    Now I haven't played a custom game on this map but I have flown through it in forge and I gotta say, This was well constructed. I hate floating objects it's quite annoying, But Lights has the patience and forging knowledge to get the job done. I'm honestly surprised that one of his maps hadn't been featured earlier, But better late than never. So again Congrats Lights, I hope to see more featured maps with your name on it in the future, Keep up the incredible work bro.

    I've been talking about this map for ages since it got played in a Friday Night Fight. Its been underrated and under-appreciated. I've played maybe a handful of 1 flags on this map and i loved every game. Not only is the base very well forged but the multiple ways up there definitely add an element of balance. With no way to guess where your opponents will arrive defense can be quite frantic and offense can be very tactical with multi front attacks. This should have been featured ages ago but I'm happy it finally got its time to shine. Congrats Light. We also got to play this in TGIF and it was great time.
