    Jedi Training

    As sandbox has gotten to be more and more popular, less and less people are spending their time playing the original non-DLC maps(except for matchmaking). I have created a map, on construct, that is both simple yet effective, but unlike anything ever seen before. The good part? It's non-DLC, so even people SO POOR that can't afford a free map pack have the ability to play on it.

    Jedi Training on The Lines(Max 8 players)

    Do you want to become a better jedi? Then, this is the map for you. In jedi training, players must kill other slayers. First to 25 points win. But it's a bit harder than that.

    Jedi Traits
    -A little bit faster than normal, not significantly
    -Very high force jumps
    -2-3 hits to kill with a sword
    -Lose a point if you fall to your death. Clumsy Jedi.

    Jedi!

    This map is very fun, because it involves quick reflexes, jumping skills, and definetly sword slashing and mashing skills.

    The Lines
    [​IMG]
    The lines consist of multiple narrow levels, in the shape of a scissor. You can jump on most all the levels, including the ones on the left side. Teleporters are available on most levels, but if you go in, you could come out from just about anywhere. Players have the ability to jump down floors, but not up, making the game fast, and unpredictable. Look before you leap. You can't camp behind the teleporters because I have carefully placed the teleporters just in front of the edge of the map, meaning you try getting over it, you die.

    Force Abilities(Equipment)
    -Force Drain(Power Drain x1)
    -Force Jump(Grav Lift x1)
    -Force Blind(Flare x1)
    -Electricity(Plasma Grenades x2)
    -Mind Confusion(Radar jammer x1)
    Action Shots!

    Death from above!

    now this looks fun. is it outside of the map, don't think i would've been able to incorporate a map like construct into something so fun as this. I will agree with you that the non-DLC are a bit of a dying race, but this map will say otherwise. 4/5 from the looks of it, and a dl.


    PROPS FOR BEING NON DLC!!!

    This map looks Great! I love swords and am great at them also. I'm just wondering, how many people do you expect min-max on? otherwise 9/10 (8-D

    Crap, forgot about that. I believe 7-8 is the maximum, but it'll get really crazy at that kind of number. I was playing a game with 6 people before, and it was ridiculous(ly fun)

    @TrustierToaster
    -Yes it's on the outside.

    i really love the whole "jedi powers" thats pretty awesome.
    couldnt one person just sit on a teleporter tho and wait for people to come at them? i dont see this as much of a problem but i was just wondering.
    the map itself is a neat idea, great use of construct.
    i always love an original map ;) and ithinks you did good in that part...
    maybe some other weapons tho? just swords is okay but others would spice it up a bit.
    all in all great job

    Nope, because you die if you are behind the teleporter. Blame the edge of the map, not me. Thanks for mentioning, I forgot to put that bit of info up :).

    Oh, and other weapons will elimenate the whole "jedi" theme.

    Great use of an original map, I love seeing things built on them. It's a pretty simple yet fun idea. I have seen things on the outside of Construct, but this looks like a way better map compared to any I've seen before.

    That was the first thing I had thought, but after multiple testing, it felt like the game was playing on crack because people simply fell off continuously for no reason, destroying gameplay.

    yes i played it and that was very true.
    the original is best.
    i really liked it me and my friends had a blast everyone loved the force powers haha.
    maybe lower the gravity tho? make it so they have to have the grav lift to "force" jump. i think thatd be a little bit better.
    overal GREAT map and idea
    ima fan :)

    Lowest gravity already, it just makes it easier to jump down levels accurately, and make death from aboves moves more efficient.

    YAH A FAN WHAT NOW?!

    For the gametype itself, it is really amazing and clever. the map on the other hand is a bit poor, ive seen way to many maps where people build gametypes on the outside of Construct. you would be better off building another version on sandbox. PS: i read the top of the page again, with sandbox out most of your main forgers are busy with that and the heroic map pack is free and contains foundry. try building maps there, i prefer to play on foundry since sandbox contains to much lag with bigger parties.

    ima gonna dl and play it this weekend.. i think that a juggernaut gametype would play the best, that way there can actaully be a certain jedi in the game and make him a different color... but anyways the map is great but mostly for the idea, cuz all you did was add spawns and teleporters.. 5/5
    oh and have like one grav hammer in the middle on maybe a manmade platforn of crateswith fusion coils around it or something, and make it so only the juggernaut can pick up weapons..:/

    That's a good idea actually. I will consider that for a V2, thanks. But I will most likely not use grav hammers, if I were to make this V2, and FYI, I added various equipment. I mean force powers. God... >.>

    yah trust me. i tried it and it was too easy to get people off. swords are the best in this situation... except it gets semi boring just mashing the b button. but i love to sneak attack from above :D

    Very cool and interesting. My friends and I had a lot of fun playing this last night. Of course I had like 30 suicides cause I suck, but it was still a blast. (C:
