    DESCRIPTION
    --------------------------------
    This is my first map on forgehub, so I'll get right to the point. The Downward Spiral is a cylinder shaped map with a base on either side. There are multiple platforms to provide the player with several different possible strategies. The ample cover will make force players to use actual tactics rather than just spray and pray methods. The testers all agreed that Territories was very fun, so give it a try.

    anyways, i had alot of fun watching you build this map. i know the crane pissed you off alot and hindered a bunch of ideas you had, but overall i dont think it hurt you. the map overall is very well built for a semi-beginner, and whats more important, the gameplay is alot of fun, for any of the gameplays you described. i wished CTF woulda worked out, but there obviously was no getting around it. Hope you do good things in the future, love, John.

    Very nice forging. the platforms are cool, and wepons and spawns list is good. This a good first post. The name doesnt really match the map though. 4/5 keep forging.

    This looks like a great map for FFA but really nothing else i think. It could use geo-merging but the reg. merging gave it +points. All in all i think it's a 3/5

    i had much fun testing this out with you peeps.. i think i won everytime but that deff isnt the reason i enjoyed it, the gameplay is fast paced and theres really no way in this map to be over powered like small maps usually are.. the weapons and power ups fit great with the gameplay and its deff worth your dl every1.

    This map seems to have a bland and overstuffed feeling. I don't see anyroom where someone could actually have an open brawl, and it has a bland feeling since the only interesting feature is the circular field. Perhaps you could add Aesthetics around your map or mabye add more room.

    I love the spiral intro. Please tell me later how you did that.

    The map is VERY original. Looks fun and is exceptionally good looking. 5/5
    I'll post later and tell you how it looks on the playing field.

    why dont you try it out first before jumping to conclusions. there were plenty of open brawls, and the gameplay is actually quite fun. for a first map, this is VERY well put together.

    you should have it support infection, i love infection games on circle-y maps
    you can also escape the map with a grenade jump
    otherwise, great job with the map

    This is really good for a first map post, you knew how to embed your pictures! The map has a nice layout, and dont worry about geomerging, I pretty much dont do that much and noone notices =P. good map, probably a 4.5/5.

    I like the interlocking on this map. It looks nice and from the action shots it looks like it plays well too. Good job on a nice map.

    it may not look downward, but the entire map in in a cilinder, from the layout of the map, it looks like it could look all twisty like a spiral

    Thanks :) Also this bored was nameless till it was done when me and my girl and friend decided to start naming off random stuff till we found something that kinda fit so like spiral meaning a circle map i guess i know the name doesnt fit but i didnt feel like guessing any longer for a name.

    Im Not All That Great at Merging Yet But Getting There Thanks .

    Thank You ! Its So Great Coming From A Expirenced Forger. I Like Your Maps Too Cant Wait For The New One:)

    All im gonna say is im sorry you feel that way .try and download it , me and my testers belive it was fine i actually added stuff for more cover but still has open battle spaces.

    Thanks For All Your Help Thesilencebroken

    I wanted infection but it didnt play well so i scraped it like ctf sorry my next map will have infection thou Sorry :(

    Thank You And Do As Blaze Tell You LOL

    I Personally want to learn more geomerging but not all my maps will have it . Also i had help from a expirenced forgehub member to help me set up the post.

    It Plays Great I Suggest Territories With 4 or 8 People It Gets Crazy In The Tunnels.

    Its just a NIN Album i was at a loss for names at the moment me my girl and a friend just blerted **** out for a name till this came up. so i went with it not a total good name but not a bad one eaither.

    This has a clever mix of everything. You curved the outside (I'd like to see some more of the curve in some pics, maybe????) and built what looks to be a solid map.

    I've now looked over it a few times, and I can't seem to remember seeing a Gametypes list. If it's there, I'm sorry. I'll go back and check again, as I sometime criticize things and it ends up being my laziness/stupidity. Lulz, seriously, this looks very nice. Very nice way of opening your thread with that pic, and I like how you used the whole "round" factor as a theme.

    Weapon set seems to fit just fine. I'll give 'er a download, bro. Looks great, nice job!
