    Dog-Fights: Construct
    Created by: Pingpong Legend

    Description:
    The second installment in my NON-DLC Dog-fights maps. For some reason, Construct is not only the most unbalanced map weapons wise, it is also the most unbalanced vehicles wise. This leads to the BEST DOG FIGHTS arena evaaaa. If you looked at my first dog fights map and were unimpressed, take a gander at this varient; you won't believe that it was made by the same forger. The hill is located UNDER CONSTRUCT. Construct complements dog-fights so well because the vehicles are usually destroyed and their carcasses fall into the abyss, so they respawn very quickly.Works best with QUINN HAS A GUN's Dog-Fights gametype.

    Weapons:
    Rocket starts, infinite ammo
    1 missle pod with 30 second respawn

    Vehicles:
    4 Hornets, instant respawn
    4
    Banshees, instant respawn

    Cool I never realized they had air vehicles in the Construct forge list! This looks like fun! With a mixture of dog fights and buildings causing hand to hand combat this map seems like an addicting type do whatever you can to kill style.

    A definate DL from me! Can't wait to try it out 5/5

    very nice kudos for using construct its tough to forge with and you have done well
    i like the use of the underneath and the layout of the floating platforms these dog fight maps are a lot of fun and make a great change of pace nice work
    i think i will do a dogfight map pack

    might i suggest adding a power drain they work well with air vechiles on this level because sometimes your engines will kick back in and sometimes they won't

    oh a be careful near the open edge everyone its really easy to fly into the death barrier{not a complaint there's nothing you can really do about it even if you had a proper budget which you don't on construct}

    Huh.... I did not see how this was going to work when I saw the first pics but now I see what you are trying to do.... This is great and under construct provides ample space to fly vehicles. I like the floating platform and the circular radio anteneas too... but the anteneas could be straightened up and made neater. Another thing too could you maybe make another floating platform, that one is just great. So out of it all I give it a 4/5..... and a download happy forging;)

    for some reason bungie decided to let you put 4 hornets and 4 banshees in this map
    no idea why
    there is not that much space, not as much as valhalla or sandtrap by any means

    dude, you are so win at map making. That skybase under construct is awesome. Construct was always one of my favorite maps, and you made an awesome map on it. I will have to DL to test the gametype, but this map looks amazing.

    Wow. First time anyone's ever put the flying vehicles in construct to good use, and it looks good too. 5/5.

    Dang I had no Idea that there where four hornets on construct! You are doing a really good job with these dog-fight spin offs. Ummmm.... Original Sandtrap Dog-fight made by me!
    For you winers out there, yes, I am spending a lot of time with my Avalanche version of dog-fight. 50% complete. Making sure It comes out perfectly.
    P.S. PM me next time you release a new Dog-fight spin-off.

    Cool! Me and my freind tried making a map like this for dog-fights but your map looks so much better than ours and we never thought about putting stuff under the map. Great map for non-dlc, keep forging!

    Very cool idea. Great utilization of the odd air vehicles in the forge list in construct. Its cool how its balanced by disallowing vehicles entry into the hill, thanks to the invisible barrier. Its just not the greatest game I've seen. I think you should add a deployable grav lift on the hill so people can go back to the weapons (I tried it, it works, even though they go through crates.

    Final Score: 4/5
    You did what you could with what you had, and it turned out quite well.

    Edit: 117th post!!!

    At first I looked at the top pics and thought "wow, just another dogfight map. But no, it got better. The underground looks great, when I made a map under there it wasn't half as good. :( Of course, that was a while ago.

    The underground, as I was saying before is great. The gameplay looks awesome. Can you shoot the people down low from outside? Because that is the only way the vehicles would be useful. The missile pod also looks very fun. :)

    Overall, it looks amazing. You have my download and 5/5 star rating. I will also provide you with positive rep. Keep it upp!
