    Empire

    Description

    Empire is a small, fast paced map which has many features to promote interesting gameplay. There is a tunnel with "bounce friendly" walls, there are small alcoves to recover your shield within and several small walls and fences to take cover behind. The most notable feature of the map however, is the flowing hills and ditches in which the action takes place.

    I'm gonna let the images do the talking I think, the rest of the description in the b.net thread if anyone is desperate, but lets face it we are smart enough here to make a reasonable judgement from the pics. Check the layout below for weapon and equipment placement.

    Finally - oh the joy of interlocking.

    I don't feel the pics really do it justice, if only i were a better photographer.

    I'm aware its possible to get out of the map, please don't tell me. It's difficult to pull off ingame and there are teleporters to guide you back to the battle so I'm fine with it.

    This map has been somewhat stressful and tedious in places. Comment if not for the map but for the sake of my poor aching thumbs *verysadface*

    Enjoy.

    can i just say, this looks mighty frickin' awesome.

    I really like your 'heatmap' showing the heights and weapon placement ... i'm gonna add this to my D/L list.

    I'll edit with some comments when i've had a look tonight.

    Allow me to be the first Yank, then.

    Looks amazing. I'm thoroughly impressed by everything you've created, so this should be no exception. I love the topographical key map to show us what's what. A definite DL from me.

    BTW - Is this the same map you were making when you made the 'Help with spawns' thread?

    No that went in the recycle bin, too many problems with power weapon placement and spawn camping.

    This map looks wonderful! Its nice to see another map with a non linear floor. You seem to have a knack for creating maps like that. You certainly have my download, and I can't wait to play a game on it.

    this is great, since the walls are like, warped, in some places, does that make it easier to get out?

    I may sound like the odd one out but this map was ok. I mean it is basically just a gradient but its much bigger. The thing that dissapointed me though was the fact that there is only one tunnel. It is an improvement but maybe a good tunnel system and I realize that it is very hard to do. 4/5

    "When I grow up, I want to be just like you, Mallet!", sounds a little awkward coming from an adolescent, so I'll just leave you with 'Good job'. Seriously, though, your maps are inspiring - they're one-of-a-kind brilliant. Please, please make more gradient reminiscent maps, as those are the types that stay on my hard-drive forever.

    I'll be back with a review of this map shortly... amazing job, just from the pictures.

    EDIT: it's liek rly gud n stuf acuz i plehyd it wif mah fraynds so thumbz up budddy

    I don't even know what to say to this. So I am just going to leave it like that.

    Brilliant.

    The walls are perfectly placed and I can tell you wanted some of them to be leaning and such, and the perfection of this map tells me that you meant for it to be that way. It is hard to pass off walls like that in a map, but I think you did it marvelously. Keep the maps comin, cause I'm hungry for more!! Perfect. 5/5
