    Hello, Thunderstruck is my very first post on forgehub. So, if the pictures dont work just bare with me. Thunderstruck is a very small map designed for 1v1 or FFA. It is fun to do 2v2 but it gets pretty hectic.
    Weapons:
    Assault Rifle-3-45 sec-2 spare clips
    Battle Rifle-2-60 sec-1 spare clip
    Sniper Rifle-1-150 sec- 1 spare clip
    SMG-1-90 sec-2 spare clips
    Gravity Hammer-1-180 sec
    Mauler-1-150 sec-1 spare clip
    Frag-4-20 sec
    Plasma Grenade-4-30 sec
    Regenerator-1-180 sec

    Now here are some pics.

    the map looks quite impressive especially since it is your first post, it is nice to see posts that are up to par unlike a lot of others lately. I will d/l and try to test gameplay. The forging is great but I'm concerned about gameplay because of how small it looks

    Yeah latley theres been quite a lot of post without up to date forging. But for a first post you did it good. This map is impressive too. I can see how much time you spent on it just from how good it looks. Idk about you but the map looks fun for oddball. The overall layout of the map looks really good, im impressed. I think this would be a very fun 1v1 or 2v2 map. I will like to see more from you. good job 5/5

    I dont know why but as soon as i saw this map I thought of urban. Idk why

    But this map looks like its potential in 2v2 gameplay would be incredible because of the use of bridges and stairs. Also the wall of double boxes is very nicely interlocked

    NIce job

    I loved this map. Reminds me a bit of a map called Downfall mixed with Sewage Lines. 5/5 no doubt. Love this Dl right now.

    Looks awesome. You have some great interlocking skills and some potential to become a great forger. Looking forward to seeing your other maps. Gonna have to give this a download, then come back for a further report.

    This map is Klasse! Which is super in German. The gameplay is exciting and fast paced, or at least it was for me. The aesthetics of the map are amazing, though the walls could be interlocked to look cleaner. I give this map a 5 out of 5.

    Edit: By walls I mean the walls on the top of the double boxes.

    Looks really good, especially for a first map, nice interlocking and geo-merging, just one question whats the geomerged open box for? anyway it all looks really good, you've done a really good job, you should be proud 4.7/4.8

    On the 4-fence wall wall, maybe put shield doors inside them to make it a window to hide behind, but not get shot through. that all the criticism i have 5/5 total 5/5 for a first post

    "high/cool guy voice" TCHAAA NIIIICE it looks like it is perfect for 1v1, but just for fun id have like 16 guys on their at once. the asthetics are very nice and good job with not overloading it with power weapons. great job for a first time (personally i think its better than 90% of these other bitches)


    oh yeah and STOP PYJAMA TIME!

    Well, good job on your first post, it looks awesomesauce. you have a very good design/layout and it looks fairly non-escapable. Smart of you not to put a brute shot on this map. i see some good interlox and geomergin but it accually looks bigger than what you said. i think it would work ok with 3v3 but ill have to play it first. ima say 3/5 for now cuz it looks a bit open and posibly escapable. but ima dload and check it out and get back to you maybe.

    Pictures play tricks on you when you do weed...so dont. (i know i dont)

    The first pic makes this map look epic. I like the enclosed feel of this map. Your design for the upper level however is a little too straightforward. I'm sure that if you tried, you could add a little more intrigue into your map. You know, something that looks original and fun to walk shoot and run on, like a curved ramp or something.

    anyways, i like your lines of sight and the overall feel of the map. keep on forging dude. good things will come.

    I finally pulled a game together and I'm back with my review.

    Layout - 10/10
    The two partitioned allow for different self contained battles. The map's layout is really balanced, despite it's asymmetrical layout. The way the flow off the map is, you can take a break between battles, and not destroy the tempo of the game.

    Aesthetics - 8/10
    There weren't really any aesthetic touches. But the map was interlocked extremely well. The surfaces were really smooth and there weren't too many bumps.

    Weapons - 9/10
    The map's weapons play really well. The Gravity hammer doesn't dominate too awfully much. The Sniper Rifle didn't get that much action because of the map's size. I think it could be replaced with something like a Brute Shot, or Sentinel Beam.

    Equipment - 7/10

    I think that if added some different equipment, the maps would play a lot better. The regenerator was effective, but didn't help during a battle because the map's so small if you threw it down you would help the other person out too. I think a Flare or Deployable Cover would be a great addition to this map.

    Gameplay - 9/10
    I've played three way FFA Slayer, and it was great match. The way the battles flowed through the map was epic to say the least. The weapons weren't too over powering so that one person dominated the whole game. I really enjoyed playing on Thunderstruck, and it will remain on my hard drive for quite awhile, as a regular in Slayer matches with my friends.

    Overall - 86%
    The equipment could be improved upon. I think that with some tweaking this map could be a feature worthy map. Keep on Forging because this map hopefully portends things to come.

    For a first post this map looks pretty professional. The interlocking is seamless and the geomerging is great. One thing I would try for purely ascetic reasons is fuse the boxes marking the layout and the walls on top of them ever so slightly together so that the small crack between them isn't visible and so no grenades fit through it. Overall 9/10
