    In an attempt to protect a vital supply route the entrance to a mountain pass is boobytrapped.

    This was a switch idea i got while making my last map I found out that grav lifts pass right through crates and wanted to make a big door using the effect. But i wanted to do something else and the idea of destructible terrain came to mind.

    This is just a switch - there are no placements or weapons or such. Anyone is free to use this map or the idea in thier own work - just let me know what you do.

    That's cool. How does this switch work? I don't know how you would achieve such a large effect with just 1 powerup.

    hmmmmmmm...... never seen it before. Kinda cool, you could clean up the forgeing. Other than that, it's not bad. I like it, although I have few Ideas on how anybody could use it in a map, it's cool.

    Why don't you get to forging that?


    Nice map. A new concept, forged well. This could be very useful in an infection match. 10/5.

    I just figured it out, by the pictures, you can notice the powerup is partially interlocked with the double-box (I assume it's an open one.), so I'm betting he made those kinda switchs where you pick up the powerup, which lets a fusion coil drop down and blow up the grav lifts, allowing them to spawn somewhere else. (Min/Max Switch.)


    Great idea, that's really unique, and awesome. I could easily see this in a king of the hill, or infection map. However they should probably have a secondary route. I can't wait until the maps come out with this, nice switch!

    Thats pretty much it. powerup releases fusion coils - coils destroy grav lifts - 2 grav lifts span under top of hill - they slide down through the crates firing them out one row at a time.

    It is the movement of the grav lifts which allow for such a huge effect. For this map I had them slide down - you could also have them spawn in midair and fall through a wall of crates.

    Pretty cool, this map could definetly be used in a defend-the-castle type map. Could be a last resort?

    You could also set the powerup switch to spawn at a certain time - so it would not be an option straight away

    thats really cool. this could be used in a vehicle based map to block off a way of entry. It would be nice if you found a way to make it smaller

    Hey sick switch dude, that looks pretty useful, like you and others said, have it spawn at a certain time, also have a side path, and it could even be for VIP like Cave Freaks, and it's to defend the VIP and the side path is spawned after a certain time as well, but longer than the custon powerup, say CP =90 seconds Secondary Path=180, hmm feel free to use this idea everyone i cant forge due to forging issues (forging parents signatures) cant go on XBox, also have like a base behind the switch with a hidden room which the VIP is inside of, maybe have the VIP as a guest only?

    I can easily see this making a good ceiling. Flip a switch and you get some good cover randomly placed on the map. Plus you could scream over the mike that the sky is falling while you do it. The switch itself is an amazing idea especially since it has such a large effect compared to other switches.

    Really nice idea, man. This is such an obvious idea but no one has made something like this. I will definitely try to build a map around this switch.

    Totally amazing and original. I see many maps flourishing from this one seed. I myself might even incorporate this into a map of my own. Though what pushes the crates away, is it fusion coils, or mannon cannons or something else?

    Very inovative, and this is what I like to see when I venture to the the Aesthetic maps.

    okay so i have downloaded it and it is a great concept but it doesnt always work in fact i had to try 4 times until it finally worked and when it did it was pretty funny watching my friend go flying on the warthog.
