Chronmeister submitted a new map: Overlord - Slayer, Oddball, FFA 4-8 Players Read more about this map...
I joined a random game on the customs browser a few days ago, and it was this. It was a blast. Really well done, felt like classic Halo.
This is some of the cleanest forging I've seen since Slaphead's maps. You're definitely improving, Chron.
Looks better than my s***. Plus there is at least one piece of geometry surrounding the map that isn't square so I wont be playing this one. Great map as always.
Definitely doesn't look better than your maps. I think you are one of the cleanest forgers around. This map was inspired by Heads up and a map from Shadowrun.
Wow man. You've out done yourself! I'll jump on it tonight and get a test on it. Expecting greatness.
I noticed you chroma boxed, you're learning man! Great work. Your best looking map. Way too dark though can't see anything
Thanks man. I'm trying to find a way to nerf the bottom tunnel for oddball so if you could test that out, that would be sweet. I have rockets swapped with sniper rifle and have barrels down there that only spawn in Oddball. I think that will be enough to keep people from camping down there, but let me know. I had a stupid idea, where there would be a switch you could activate in Oddball only that would make the walls close in. I hope I don't need to do anything that extreme, but I thought that might be a fun addition.
I was checking this out in forge the other day and think its definitely your best design so far. I know I said that about White Cell but this is way more interesting. The verticality is intense though, it may need to be brought down and tightened up. Also, I think the rocket area is a bit too cramped and segmented but appreciate the confined space as well. I'd like to get more games on this before determining what to do about that area. I also think that taking a lift all the way to the top of the map is a bit too rewarding. Would be better if it took players to mid bridge. Overall, love the experimentation you took with this. I'm getting a lot of good vibes here and think it would play CTF really well. You're making such progress as a designer that its fun to watch.
Feedback time. Let me say this map is really fun and I've only played 2v2 and 4v4 slayer on it. The maps vertical nature make players constantly move upwards and fights are that much more interesting because of it. The verticality is a bit much in some places, but moving through the map was good. Every area felt different and fun to fight in. The only issue that was really present was the bottom mid hallway. Engagements were way to close and awkward. You could probably cut that entire area and add more to the sandy bottom area. doesn't feel like that area adds anything to the map. Overall, very fun map. Verticality is very well done everywhere on here, even thou some think its a little bit much. Could possibly lower it slightly but not a big deal. Good work man.
