    A wheelman's snowy dream.


    Download | Transport


    Gametypes:
    Transport (download link above)
    V.I.P. variants
    King of the Hill variants
    Territories variants
    One Flag
    Tremors and Cat and Mouse games work well here



    Story:

    Personally, I adore being a wheelman in any game. I love hopping into the driver seat of a Mongoose or Warthog and escorting a fellow teammate to an objective or the enemy. I'd always been wanting to make a map (that wasn't a racetrack) designed for my fellow wheelmen. I've also always wanted to make a map on Avalanche, so I had a perfect idea. Naturally, being a driver, I love transporting V.I.P.s. I wanted to create a V.I.P. transport gametype. I did a little fiddling, and created Transport; a gametype I suggest using with Transsiberian. The map uses only one side of Avalanche.

    I created this map with driving in mind. There are ramps, single boxes (color coded and perfectly merged so the Mongoose just fits, might I add), great turns, and more. Enjoy. If you have any constructive critism, or any suggestions for the map, I'd love to hear them.

    Layout:


    Weapons:
    [x3] Needler (30 second respawn, 2 spare clips, place at start)
    [x4] Battle Rifle (30 second respawn, 2 spare clips, place at start)
    [x2] Sniper Rifle (45 second respawn, 2 spare clips, place at start)
    [x2] Machine Gun Turret

    Equipment:
    [x2] Bubble Shield (60 second respawn, place at start)
    [x10] Plasma Grenade (10 second respawn, place at start)
    [x1] Trip Mine (60 second respawn, place at start)

    Vehicles:
    [x5] Mongoose


    Screenshots:

    This should give you a good idea of what the map looks like.

    There are a few V.I.P. buildings in Transsiberian. Here's one.

    Here's the second.

    And the third.

    Here's one of the single boxes. Each has a Mongoose to go with it.

    This map looks like it has some good forging techiniques, but i feel that you have not used enough pictures. Does this map take place over ALL of Avalanche? Try giving an overview of the map so i can get a better idea of what you're showing us.Also, i like that this can work with Cat n' Mouse, that game is awesome! I think that this map should be moved to the Casual Maps category since it is focused around the idea of Cat n' Mouse and other similar gametypes.

    It's made to be wide open- you don't want to drive in a cramped space.

    Overview coming in like, 5 minutes.

    It needs something big and makes the map seem more appealing.
    Not too big though cause its a vehicle map.
    The maps good, but is too open...

    Overview added.

    Like I said, this map is meant for driving. It's supposed to be wide open spaces, with things (like ramps, V.I.P. buildings, single boxes) spaced at intervals.

    with that overview of the map i now see that you have some nice structures in the middle of the map. but i think you still need to make the map bigger

    First of all,you should sho0w an overview of both sides so that we can see it all, and then it is still to open, I know you want it to have good driving space but when you are a wheelman, you want to have challenges,lol, and it needs more jumps and ramps to make it more unique and interesting to play on.

    hmmmm.

    This map is much appreciated by me Because it's created on Avalanche, but I am going to have to say that it is way too open. If you want to create a good map on avalanche then you must confine the players a bit. A good way to do this is to use a wall under the big ark like structure in the middle of avalanche. I know you can see a good one if you download HANDSOM ROBS map, he created a massive wall that cuts Avalanche in half, and it is very good. It is completely geomerged, and gives a natural feel. Try doing that, or making a map outside the barrier so you can keep players from hiding or camping too much. But, its just some constructive critisizm. If you need some tips on how to make good maps on Avalanche I'll be happy to help. 2/5

    I'm not sure how many times I'll need to say this- I want it to be open. This is a map made for driving around, not confining players. I appreciate your comments (and I love your work as well) but that's what this map is all about.

    Ah, this is the audience I was looking for. I'm sure you'll find that Transsiberian will bring out the driver in you when you play a few games on it.

    This is one of the best vehicle friendly maps Ive seen. I feel a V2 would be nice with added cover and maybe a few floating structures for the players on foot.
