    omfg crappy ascii

    I'm guessing some of you may associate me with rather ambitious and elaborate maps, focusing on the wow factor first and gameplay second. Well this time I've made a more typical map free of gimmicks and novelties. Ehh its not a major release, I've been debating whether its worthy of publish or not. This will probably be my first and last map like this, I find it so much more fun to build the crazier stuff.

    Zulu consists of a main room with various ledges and jumps to keep movement interesting. From this main room there are several doorways all conected to various rooms and corridors.

    Onwards with the pictures anyways.

    In contrast to my last map, this has a plethora of weaponry. Theres snipers, carbines and BRs, a rocket and a mauler and a bunch of others not worth mentioning. Equipment includes a power drainer, a regen and an overshield.

    Thats about it.

    And why not end on a song. Notice a familiar face joining for the chorus?

    That actually looks really good, and almost perfectly symetrical. Nice job, prolly will download.

    Mallet I like all the little details you put into your maps, they are so small yet so significant. One thing I am confused about is the teleporters, why would you put those there? You should make sure your map is impossible to get out of. Finally, do you have a Bruteshot on the map, because if you do, the maps better be pretty tall, look at this finding.

    this mallet, you don't "probably download" if it's by him, it is a must!
    this looks really good, and makes feel bad to think that it wasn't something you really like doing... and it's nice to try new things once in a while, i think...

    This looks really cool but my only concern is, is the flamethrower supposed to be playable? In pic 10 it is on the crane, which btw makes me guess this is money glitched, but besides that, an easy grenade or brute shot jump off that dumpster and the flamethrower is yours. If it isn't supposed to be playable, move it I'd suggest because that is a powerful weapon to leave lying around. Otherwise looks quite good mallet, like always lol.

    I do not believe it is symmetrical, if it was, it would be a miracle of nature!

    You don't call that crazy AND you were debating whether or not to publish it? You = crazy. The map looks phenomenal! Amazing forging and extremely innovative layout. Great job! And I noticed you had a tutorial up on your share a while ago, but you removed it. Could you possibly put that back up for me? I need a tutorial for merging walls on an angle. Thanks, and again, wonderful map.

    Its not symmetrical. bigsighhh

    probably thanks

    Woah a real reply. It's possible to get out, but pretty difficult. Teleporters are there just in case, with rockets and grenades flying around anything could happen and players need to be able to return to the action. Theres no brute shot. Glad you likes <3

    So does your face

    tru dat. I wouldn't say i didn't like it, its just wasn't as fun to forge as my others. Don't feel bad good sir

    Yeah thats from the money glitched canvas. Ehhh. None of whats the final pic is in the playable area so it shouldn't be a problem. otherwise glad you quite like it.

    Thats one of lifes questions my friend. Who are we? Where are we going? Is it symmetrical?

    holy dictionary batman. Dont worry if you have something similar, I wont acuse you of stealing it too much. =)

    moar leik ur spam r a miricle of Fh. roflpwwntomg

    Looks like a nice reply, got my response.

    Its does not, but thanks for the compliment.

    Cool stuff spammur

    lul. Glad you like it sir, maybe I'm hard on myself lol.

    ps: the tuts are back my fileshare already. At the bottom.



    Is the video shwoing at the bottom of the OP btw? half the time it isnt showing for me and I dont know why.

    looks good but i would just block off the back of the base so it dosent get used just becasue I think it would be more fun that way but im am judging by the pics I meentt where the teleporter is just for the record

    I played 1v1 on this map and it was alot of fun. I really like the guns in the walls, I have never seen that before. The interlocking is exellent. I still cant figure out what you interlocked under the stairs. Also it took me a minute to get the rocket launcher. No complaints, I really like themap.

    Lol I do happen quite often to like things quite a bit. ROFLOFL. This really is thoughquite the good map.

    As Bruce Willis once said epically,

    *Note: Zstrike is not liable for any curses spoken by Bruce Willis... only curses spoken by Zstrike, and clearly those aren't ****** anywhere.

    rofl this is so spam by now...

    Don't hate I'm just random... that's how I roll... XD

    -insert generic spam comment here-

    sigh...I'm sorry to have to put this in your thread Mallet, but honestly, I'm sick of it.

    I catch anyone saying stuff like, 'gj will dl', '5/5 awesome', or 'nice interlocking look cool', prepare for some of this.

    [​IMG]


    Anyways, I can't say that I've actually tried your map, but I will definitely check it out soon. Just gotta go watch this thread for a bit to make sure people stop spamming.

    BTW, in that video...Is that supposed to be Robyn? lol, I haven't checked it, I'm just guessing.

    Wow. I don't really know why you don't enjoy making maps like this. I did my forgethrough today, and I thought it was great. It looked fanatastic as far as intelrocking and some merging, just a clean cut map. And the layout may not be quite as radical as your previosu creations but none the less very well made, I would think it a pity if you didn't make a few more maps like this. And event staff? Did you just get that today? Congrats anyway!
