High Voltage

Finally you got your ***** ass in gear and posted this. About the map... n33ds moar int3rl0cking....

lol jk its wonderful... i remember looking at this with you a while ago and saying something like OMGhax

and now it looks spectacular... dled

 

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM
finaly. been trying to post this for 1, 2 months now?
having played a few games on this, its great.

The only things i would change are the splazer to rockets, and do something to make the back areas more enticing during regular gameplay.

WASNIE!!! GIMMEH RECONZ0RZ

 

All I can say now is AMAZING. Ever merge and geo-merge is perfect. It looks really really fun. I love one sided games and I cant wait to get a game on this. There was amazing geo-merges in the attackers base and in the back alley. I really like how the defenders base is up higher like a sniper tower. Instead of me telling you what I like about the map i might aswell tell you what i dont, NOTHING . I can really see this as being fetured. So since I like this map this much I will give it a 6/5 Keep Forging.

 

This map has truly come a long way, from the point I joined your party, and staying in it mind you for hours on end helping you, to this point. Through Blaze's RRoD, and his popsicle methods , to where the camo and turrets should go.

This map continues to provide strategies still to be found out, and I'll share a quicky with you guys right now. Hammer/Mauler spawn. Jump onto the ledge before the overhang, and jump onto the overhang. Great spot.

 

Couldn't the hammer be used to break out of the map in that one area I showed you? But anyways, great map Devil 5/5. I loved testing this with you.

 

good to see something else from you and blaze,
the layout is 1337 ad so are the weapons.
good luck on future projects guys

 

Great map. Sniper spawn is perfect. How and where did you get that fence in front of the Choppa?

 

I just played a game of three versus three Team Slayer so I came to post my review of High Voltage.

Layout - 9/10
The general feel of the map is great. The walkways and the floating bunker were the main focus of the battle. I personally appreciated the man cannons, they really allowed for you to sneak up on the other team if they controlled the walkways. I think a couple more pillars to break up the lines of sight would balance things out even more.

Aesthetics - 10/10
The smoothness of the map and inclusion of objects to fill in fences is a really nice touch. Not much can be said about your aesthetics because you didn't over do it, and you didn't just leave it looking too bare. I'd say that's all that needs to be done on a Competitive Map.

Weapons - 10/10
The weapons seemed to balance each other out in different ways. The map's too open for the Hammer to dominate. It can be useful in moving up too the walkways and quickly dispatching anyone up there with a few swings, and a well planned charge. The Spartan Laser's slow charge time, and limited ammo make it a shot lived upper hand, that lacks the ability to compete in close quarters. It does have the capacity to give one team a quick jump to the lead if used correctly. The Sniper is probably the most useful weapon on the map if it's in the right hands. Effectively taking out opposing players in tight spaces with well placed head shots. It becomes the forerunner in ranged fighting, easily taking out an annoying Spartan Laser. The Battle Rifles and Carbines helped support your team, and with a little cooperation, could even down anyone with a power weapon. The SMGs and Plasma Rifles did the same thing, but at a short range. A single person dual wielding an SMG and Plasma Rifle could take out several players with some luck and a good charge.

Equipment - 7/10
I don't remember any pieces of equipment on the map besides power ups. If there were, then they weren't a real influence on the gameplay. I don't really have any suggestions except place more memorable pieces of equipment, something that really gives the upper hand in fights and becomes a big part of a players strategy.

Gameplay - 9/10
The gameplay was phenomenal, providing a balanced and memorable match. The weapons were amazing, the spawns were just as good, if not better. I think the only thing holding this map back is the equipment. Putting certain equipment in the right places can make a person's movement more tactical and predetermined.

Overall - 90%
High Voltage can only be called a stunning master piece of Forge. I've stated my opinions, and I think if you work out the kinks this map will most certainly be featured. I can honestly say High Voltage will be on my hard drive for quite awhile.
A-

 

Thank you for the review.
I don't understand what you mean as there is no equipment, seeing that there is a bubble-shield, power drainer, and regen, in addition to there being an invis on the map. Seeing as you played only 3v3 slayer, the bubble shield can only do so much. One flag provides a rush for which team can remember that 60 seconds in, bubble shield spawns on the wall in attackers base. You get that, you basically do amazing.

 

Drak is right.. The bubble works really well with one flag and is placed nicely for the attacking team to grab on the way out of there base.

The power drain can be thrown into the lift which helps quiet a bit for assisting.

 

You have just made my 5th All-Time favorite forged map.

I loved every single bit of this map. Although i haven't even played team games here, I have only played 1v1 matches. Those matches were all spectacular, I had such a great time playing on this map even though I am only playing with 1 person.

I could see that you have done some minor changes to the map like transferring the Active Camo to the bunker and removing the roof of the bunker. I also observed that you moved the Plasma Turret to the former Camo spot. Also, it's great that you removed those window panels at the attacker's base because it would be somewhat difficult to kill the camper. I'm not sure if I'm correct, but you also transferred the Sniper Rifle. All those changes are very reasonable, except that the roof from the bunker was removed.

The merging and the interlocking I have seen in this map is really one of the best. I'm not quite sure if anyone could observe this from just looking at the pics, but a fence box was carefully angled and merged to the ground to give some aesthetics and support for the trucks in the attacker's base. The man cannons, which serves as Gravity Lifts, are such a nice touch to the map. Also, the fence box merged to the hallway with the Brute Chopper in it was simply genius.

All the weapons placed in the map are all in a very reasonable location. The Spartan Laser's location was wisely chosen to give a more exciting game play feel. The place of the Gravity Hammer might not be my style, but it would do. Also, I would suggest that you would put the Sniper in a more leveled place and that it is not facing outwards.


To end my review, I would like to congratulate you three for creating such an awesome map. I see a very bright future for this map...


9.2/10

 

I've play-tested the map from when Blue Devil made some crazy archway that led to some window panel box so I think it is safe to say that this map has come a long way. The map itself is a bit iffy. I played on it quite a lot, and just recently with Sdrak. I think that the map brings elevation to it. It makes or breaks the map for people. Personally, I don't really like it. The high ground usually wins in every fight. Not to mention that the Spartan Laser and Sniper Rifle is mainly only available to Defenders. Again, not a bad thing but not a good thing either. It is however a bad thing that the defender's don't really have a chance at seeing where weapons spawn when they're HV virgins. The Gravity Hammer, I think, is a poor choice for the map. The map, for the most part, is open. The only place it is not open, is the Hammer spawn.

The only thing that I would or could suggest for this map is a weapon re-evaluation, some more cover and less random aesthetics touches like the truck road-block thing. It is a big waste of money and it doesn't effect gameplay that much.

 

Umm...
last time I checked 80% was a B- or a C+ according to my last Spanish Test. Asians were never meant to speak Spanish

Lolwut...10/10
*Faicpalm*
Just for that I'm gonna do a review on this map.
We'll see how it goes.

P.S- I wont base my review on the hate that burns with a thousand white hot, burning suns of sdrakulich. lol had to include that.

 

I was planning on it. I didn't really have a group that wanted to play CTF, so I just went with Slayer. I was thinking of playing some more on it, deleting my old review, and posting a new one. I'd realy like to give you an A+ on this one
