In the final days of the forerunners, these memorials were created from the inspiration of the arctic sky as a sign of hope.... Please people show support at atlas! Link at bottom. Noctilucent is a map influenced by blackout/lockout and guardian but, however, is symmetric. This map went through many changes thanks to the many testing sessions I had, and thanks to the testers who kept giving suggestions until the map was considered flawless. With a well balanced weapon set, the map holds BRs, Carbines, Needlers, SMGs, Bruteshots, and 2 power weapons, a sniper with one extra clip and a shotgun with 0 extra clips. On this map gameplay gets really competative but stays fun. Action shots Spoiler CTF Oddball Thanks to all the people who helped me test. Here are the final testers Noctilucent DL Want to see this in the Team Doubles playlist?? Show support by posting on my Atlas submission!
Seems like a decent FFA or Oddball map. A couple of things to ask yourself is if someone can get on top of it or if a weapon throws the balance off. I would suggest a little more polish before an Atlas submission.
I know and that is part of the map. The only part of the map that you cant access is the very top of the lift and the outside of the tunnels. Both are inaccessable.
Very good map, dl'ing as I speak... From what the pictures portray, it looks excellent. Btw I support you 100% on the atlas thing, I'm personally almost ready to enter a map. If you want anybody to forge with let me know, I sent you a fr on live.
This looks like a brilliant small map for competitive gameplay. Multileveled, great lines of sight, multiple textures... fantastic. Downloaded. After running through it, I am even more impressed than I already was. You have payed close attention to every little detail, I could not find one oversight. The window walkways are an excellent addition and will really improve the playability. Great jumps, lines of sight and aesthetics. Only thing this is stopping this map from being perfect is the flickering grass, but I know that is very difficult to fix so still a 5/5 from me.
I know, wish I could fix that but I had to settle =/. Besides, the grass is cheap, large, and it adds different terrain to the map which mixes things up in gameplay.
Yeah that's cool. By no means do I think you should remove it, the grass is a great addition to almost any Sandbox map as it helps keep things fresh instead of having to look at stone and sand all the time.
Your final picture looks so BA. But besides that, clean and well forged and designed. I like how you mix it up and throw in a little aesthetics with the grass and wood. But you said you had 2 power weapons, a sniper and shotgun. First off, a shotgun usually comes in a pair with another melee weapon on the map (another shotgun, a sword, or grav hammer). Second off, the statement that a sniper rifle is a power weapon is like saying a needler is a power weapon. It's debateable. My advice is just to add another melee weapon somewhere on the map and to generate another sniper. That way each team can have a sniper and the shotgun is a little more balanced off.
Um if the weapon can kill in one shot I consider it a power weapon. It's a really bad idea to put more power weapons on the map and why would a sword or a hammer be good for a map with a shotgun? Think about all the failures bungie has made with weapon placement. I'm not just talking about custom maps, think of construct's weapon placement. Sniper, sword, missle pod, flame thrower, and laser???? I'm trying to make a weapon placement that works for all players, if it was just weapons I wanted there would be 2 snipers, 2 maulers, no shotgun, and just BRs and carbines. I think that you're just thinking of the weapons that you want on the map, sorry. Oh and sorry if I come off as pissed, it's not you. It's because I had a 5 star rating from 5 people and some asshole rates it one ****ing star.
It happens to most people with a five star map lol. It must be some strange form of OCD caused by generations of inbreeding to feel the need to vote down a map just because it's well liked. Don't sweat this man, I've played this enough with you to honestly believe it plays great the way it is. Good job.
Ya thanks, I just wish I could know who did it haha. I only remember one game with you, what other games have you played with me? Just slayer?
Now I played a 2v2 on this map, but there was a huge problem, not enough spawns! I got 2 triple kills in one game do to lack of spawn points, please fix, other than that, 8.5/10
There are roughly 40-50 spawn points so there is enough. I don't know if I can believe that you got 2 triples but if it did happen please don't automatically put the blame on me, some spawns cannot be fixed on custom maps. Ok sorry I was being stupid haha. I remember now =) I appreciate the compliment but, for future reference, you should probably put more in your comments so you don't get infracted.
Hey man i absolutly loved this map when i played on it with u it played amazing the weapons on the map were nicely placed and i would also love to see this in mm good luck 5/5
Great map, definite DL, but if you plan to submit this to atlas, here's a list of recommendations on how to make sure it's ready for matchmaking: 1: Playtest the map with friends who have very bad connection. a big deal-breaker for atlas maps is lag. 2: ask a team of skilled jumpers to try and escape. there's always bound to be one hole in the armor. 3: weapons test. Try many different weapons sets that may be out of the ordinary, as everyone can use a little change sometimes. 4: Make sure to keep glitches to a minimum (ie. interlocking, geomerging, budget glitching etc.) lastly, make sure for it to have a large following and to gain popularity for your map before yo post it on atlas. Fast moving topics gather the most attention. Ps. I'm totally going to vote for it. Good Luck!
Thanks fo the advice but I already took these things into consideration. But I hope you and bungie enjoys the map and I don't want to blow my horn but this is waaay better than cubed. =)
Lol, couldnt agree more, this map is awsome, although ive only been able to play one quick short game iwas stil very impressed and loved the map. 5/5 from me!
Thats an understatement. This chews up cuded, and shits it out of the ass. Its very well forged and demolishes most of the matchmaking maps out there. You made a good use of ledges and such, and the green grown isnt original, but its well done. The usual, Ill subscribe and download when my xbox has a chance to get internet. Great job though.
