    SnipeStorm V1 and V2

    Download SnipeStorm





    ANNOUNCEMENT: SnipeStorm V2 is Finished!



    Okay this is my first sandbox map so go easy on me. This is a team snipers map. It only has two pictures becuz the overview is one pic and the obelisk of doom is another. There wasn't much other things I could take a picture of.


    Description: This map is base on two seperate platforms where you sniper across to the other to gain points. It has enough cover. I am almost 95% sure that no spawn killing could take place. And the map has 4 beam rifles one at the two ends of each platforms.


    Pics:

    The overview

    And this is the obelisk of Doom just for aesthetics.


    Sorry for not having many pics its just in the skybox you can see basically everything...



    SnipeStorm V2




    Well this is the second version of my map SnipeStorm ( The original SnipeStorm thread will be linked at the bottom.

    It is meant for team snipers. The updates in this version of SnipeStorm are; It has bridges to get to the other base, a second floor, and 4 teleporters leading to the second floor.


    Now time for pics:

    Not too bad, it wouldnt have hurt to interlock a little, but still aesthetically pleasing. Almost reminds me of boarding action. One thing I dont really like is that it seems a bit to simple, maybe make a version 2, but you have a pretty good map here.
    3.8/5

    Cool map, but I think you should have bridges on each end between the two bases so there can be a little bit of close-range sniping.

    Great map, but I see a huge flaw. If one team takes the lead, they can just crouch down behind cover for the whole game. You should make little islands to hop across. For now, 6/10, but if you fix what I said, then 9.5/10 and I'll Download for sure.
    Great work.

    Yeah simple idea but it looks great, I'd there was a way across it would definately help, or even a second story in v2. I really like the layout though

    Reminds me aton of Laser Storm at Roll On America! Seems like a great past time. Man, purple socks, cool headsets, screaming children... good times! Very original, it reminds me of a halo 1 map where you are on a spaceship. Anyways, I would DL bt I cant spend 60 $ right now, so I'll have to wait for now.

    Neat idea for a map. I love to snipe so this looks perfect to me. Good use of the red/blue lights. To get more pics I would suggest adding some action shots!

    Looks really nice. I like the layout, and looks perfectly symetrical. If you intend to make a v2 I would make more use of interlocking and have more than one level for more diverse gameplay.

    well I like the idea, but maybe you can add some sort of bridge that spawns after like 45 seconds, but is really open, and if you try and cross you can get shot easily.

    Hey if you need a tester send me a friend req. my GT is BigRedThing. Have you thought about putting some man cannons at both ends? I agree that a second level is a must.

    This map looks really great but a couple of those ledges look really small. In 1v1's it probably would not matter but in team games there is the danger of two people bumping into each other and one of them falling off the map so that could be something you could fix in v2.

    reminds me a little of boarding action, although there arent as many different levels. and there arnt any teleporters to the opposite side but stiil, looks good, will give a 4/5 and i may have downloaded if my custom map space was larger

    I feel a Boarding Action remake coming along soon...

    To get across you could have portals on each side along with multiple levels.

    I think that the map would play better if you added man cannons where I put arrows

    Solves the camping without being to cheap.

    Ya but you could still camp I would have to add more spawns.
    But I am going to add a second floor to prevent camping.

    It doesn't look bad, and gameplay looks like it would be pretty fun with a bunch of friends. Maybe I'll dl later. Good job!
