    Tapestry

    Background
    Somewhere in a remote location in New Zealand.. An abandoned warehouse has been refitted and is now used as an illegal underground Spartan fighting arena.


    Supported Gametypes
    Made with Free For All in mind, Tapestry supports FFA Slayer, Oddball, King of the hill and Team Slayer


    Map Description
    This arena style map enclosed with high walls gives you the feeling of snuggly enclosure. Most of the map is box height apart from the center and the tunnels, which are a great place to run to when your shields are down then pop up and surprise your enemies. Combatants should try and play the map to their advantage..
    If you get the Mauler, go to the tunnels or stairs.
    If you get the sniper, try heading over to the needler spawn.
    If you grab the needler, hang out at sniper spawn.
    Grenades come in handy alot, use them.

    Weapons
    Mauler no spare clips, long respawn
    Battle Rifles x4 Standard
    Carbines x2 Standard
    Sniper Rifle one spare clip, long respawn
    Needler
    long respawn
    SMG/Spiker combo two of them in seperate areas, Standard

    Equipment
    Plasma Grenades x4
    Frags x6
    Power Drainer
    Regenerator

    Recommended Players
    5 players max FFA
    2v2 Teams matches (3v3 if you feel like some mayhem)

    BIG Thanks to:
    Sdrakulich for help with spawns and testing

    .Core, thesilencebroken, Scarfac3d, NzTrolley, Hotpokkaminny, Commandermatt and others whom I cant remember, all helped with testing

    Bumpes, because you told me to.







    Just kidding. The interlocking on this map is incredible. Is the grav lift set there as equipment? If so this would be easy to get out of.

    I do love seeing senior members make maps like these and me being one of the 1st to see and this is no exception! Your interlocking is superb and i can see no bumps at all. You know, i dare to say this quite may possibly be featured. It is definatly worthy. By the way that truck thing made me laugh a bit i love seeing humor in maps. Qued, 5/5 on bungie and forge hub, and + repz!

    Keep Forging!

    Wow, the layout and the aesthetic stuff in this map is very well done. It gives you the feeling of long, narrow hallways and constantly going up and down. I really like it. The truck inside the bridges was also something very unique I have not seem. As for this map, 5/5 and good rep.

    nope. Its fixed in postition.

    lolololol >.<

    The sniper is actually hard to use one this map, Its hard to get shots off, so you're forced to NoScope. And even then, there is a Mauler to counter the no scoping.

    Edited OP for team sizes.
    Oddball does work well... the ball carrier can go through the tunnels up the grav lift and round the stairs areas. All great places to be when you have the oddball as its close quarters. Just watch out for grenades ;]

    The aesthetics on this map look great. I love how you put the truck in the bridges so no one can get in there. I will have to DL and see how it plays out. I will get back to you

    Nice map, better looking than half of em,
    i would add more weapons to it though, the only weapon is sniper,
    there should be a brute i think, that way theres a more of a chance to beat the sniper guy, who snipes at point blank,

    This seems like a very good map. It seems medium sized but doesn't have a lot of weapons. What size teams does this map support? Lastly, I think that FFA Oddball would not work well on this map. There's not a lot of cover and you can be hunted really easily. It seems like a very nice map though.

    Good to see this posted about 2 hours after I helped test it. It has amazing gameplay, and also, great geometry to compliment the feel. Great job dude.

    First Post ROFL!!!!!

    EDIT:

    Damn, while I was writing this everybody else posted
    XX
    O

    I am very impressed. This looks really fun for FFA and maybe oddball?
    Very clean interlocking and interesting layout. I like the column made of bridges and the box tunnel.

    Don't put the plasmas so close to each other or the will become a grenade spamming map =( Great job, keep making maps!

    5/5

    lol same here, and I'm sorta sad not seeing credit for helping with spawn placement

    Nevertheless:
    this map incorporates wonderfully 2v2 gameplay, as well as 4 FFA, and 1v1's are fantastic
    This will stay in my hard drive for a while now!

    (BTW say that me, .core, silencebroken, etc etc, helped test it, as we did!)

    Great map, 5/5 needs less interlocking (never said that, ever lol)

    omononomonnomonomon you mis-spelled my name, mastor...lol (get it?)

    its sdrakulich!

    haha,
    lol quote me on this:

    This map is superbly made, with interlockinz everywhere....FFA is hectic, 2v2 requres much teamwork...stick together or die....This is a must download for everyone, and is a perfect map for a small party when you can't find anyone for a quick custom!

    There, and thanks you!

    I had alot of fun testing this map out, no matter how bad i got my ass whooped on. [im the dead Teal guy in all the pictures]. The maps balance is great, and the sniper cannot dominate. Its nice to have ahold of it, but if you dont, you arent screwed.

    Personally, i thought the map played best on FFA slayer, and 4 players seems ideal to me. Everything flowed smoothly, and for such a small map the spawns worked okay. Everything is placed well, up to even the equipment couldnt be placed better.

    Great job on a sweet map :D

    The interlocking is very superb and the dezign of the map (specially in the first pic is very nicely made. This definately looks fun for FFA. I think I will play a game like that on it later...

    The hallways look very nice and give the map its own feel. I think it would give many people (including me) a better idea of the map if you could add a picture of the overview of the map. I know there is an overview in the middle but it doesn't give us an idea of where the hallways and weapons are located.

    This map definately looks like a lot of fun. The whole idea of this map is awsome and the map looks amazing too. I can't wait to see how it plays because I love the whole multifloors and lots of hallways. Things like that should make this map very thrilling and enjoyable.

    I will see how it plays and than get back to you. For now, 5/5
