    Ruins
    " This Map is The ****!!!", Crosfire 007
    Brave archaeologists discovered these ruins.
    The grounds are now disputed. By TheDarkestVoid

    Description: Ruins is my first BTB map. Its also one that has taken the most work. This map took me at least 15 hours of work total. I worked on it after school everyday. Ruins is a one-sided, asymettrical map. It consists of a large cliffside (Defender's Side), a bridge/bunker runs through the center of the map, and lastly a small base for the attackers. For this map I used a number of forging techniques. All the double boxes that are at the back of the map are seemlessly interlocked and geo-merged. The hallway of the map is blocked off and the bridge running on the top of the map is not accessable. It is meant for an aesthetic feature of the map. Please read more.

    Looks cool, I'll download this, only thing is in your screen shots you may want to show less action and more of the map.

    Expertly interlocked to create what appears to be a great playing environment. I love a map with a sniper rifle. Are you sure it was the flag carrier who beat down chopper dude? Talk about a hodgepodge post!

    i totally agree with him if u show us more layout pics u might get more dl's... personally i like seeing pictures of the layout not actual gameplay... hope you take my advice!
    Great map 4/5 because its not very original ( i.e. 2 bases and something in the middle)
    Great interlocking as well! any geo-merging ? now thats wut i love!

    it looks good for capture the flag for how you seprated it in half and the interlocking and geomerging looks sweet

    as the looks of it, this map is pretty sweet
    One thing i would consider is that your font goes up atleast one size, i for the record am not that old lol, but some members may be and its hard to read such fine print.

    One concern i had about this map is the bases, some people may complain about capture the flag because they are not the same, i would agree that the closed in base probably has alot more cover for that team to camp in, idk personally becasue i havent played this map yet, but i would take this into consideration

    Believe me when I say that I rarely complain about specific things. I hate to, because it causes crap and people don't normally take it well. Don't even take this as you being the only one who does it, because you're not. I've seen it done too many times, and I guess it's just always gotten on my nerves. I've always felt my presence on ForgeHub to be for the purpose of bettering my Forging skills and doing what I can to better that of others.

    That being said, it seems a bit fruitless to request a 5-star rating. I honestly love this. You seriously put some work into the geo-merging, and you gave me a great idea for Team NN's next project. I just can't help but complain. If you post here, let it be for the desire of learning and building off of others Forgers, don't do it for the purpose of getting your maps rated high or anything of the sort.

    its np.. i just would have liked if you would have said something about it.. btw did you even comment on the map? if not that would be apriciated.


    i noticed i didnt.. so here goes.. the geomerging is great and the layout looks pretty original for the bases it looks like the features you used worked well, good job
