    I POSTED THIS MAP BEFORE, BUT THE IMAGES DIDN'T WORK, NOW I HAVE REPOSTED WITH "WORKING" IMAGES.

    It's a big map, yet to be properly play tested, but it was pieced together in an afternoon and a bit. I would love you to try it out, tell me what you think. Its my first map posted here, but i have been forging since the Legendary maps came out. I don't mind criticism, but as long as its constructive.

    Please tell me if i have done something wrong here, because i am expecting a fair bit more to come.

    You have done a lot of things that need to be discussed.

    1. Do not take pictures in Forge, take them in Custom Games.
    2. You do not have to post it again since you could have edited the other one.
    3. Three snipers in a tower that are placed in a rather messy manner with three fusion coils? Fix that. Put one sniper only per tower and set them to 1 spare clip. It would be a lot better. Trust me.
    4. Put some more cover on the open areas.
    5. Your spawns need to be fixed. Do not put spawns in places where people will most likely get shot at once they spawn.

    I hope you learned a lot today. Good luck on your next map.

    like he said above me, pretty much explains it. ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    But other then that, i do like the sniper towers, pretty good idea how you made them.

    Whats wrong with taking them in forge?

    the other one was on the second page. I doubt anyone would have seen it.

    Fair enough with the sniper thing.

    I'll try to fix up the spawns.

    Thanks.

    This map looks okay but it doesnt seem to flow, and some areas are way to open. And like what RaBBiiTTT said, there are to many snipers on one place, only one sniper on a foundry map works best, judging form the pics i give this map a 3/5
    Glad to see you actually interlocked though, made the map look better

    I have "fixed" up those things that RaBBiiTTT said, so it slightly improved. I am happy to heard your criticism still, but i just hit the OLN (or whatever) for the first time on a real map. I will use your words of wisdom for my next map(s).

    i saw both posts. now, i can see that the map is great. the interlocking is pretty clean [one big exception are the bridges on the pic "opposite end"- they are very sloppy]. also, all those snipers with all the spare clips could make for easy camping and spawn killing. i agree with what rabbit [or RaBBiiTTT, if you wish to be fancy] about the snipers and fusion coils.

    i also agree with him about fixing spawn locations. and one thing about taking pics in forge is that those little dots get annoying, and the spawn locations are easily seen. someone could just take a glance at the map and see where they could spawn kill. also, it shows how sloppy you put the spawn points together.

    i know that you hit the oln, but consider it.

    Taking it in Forge mode shows the spawn points, which in the opinion of most forgers, does not really look well and attractive.

    Taking it in Custom Games however does not show the spawn points and therefore, makes the map look more clean and your post more professional.

    Glad you took my advice, can't wait for your next one =)

    Is it worth reposting an updated version of this map?

    I took offense to that banter and I didn't even make the map. The map is awesome, just look at his great merging of the bridges! I'd be proud. Some maps are fun if you are spoiled with extra ammo, it lures you to that area and because he put some f-coils in there, it'll teach them nasty snipers. It's a fun idea, this map is meant to be fun, really fun. And hidden rockets? Who could ask for more? That was a really neat idea.
    In conclusion Mr. name-in-his-sig-pic, if you wanna be Ebert to people and make a list of No's and Don'ts then go to B.net.
