Gauntlet

8v8 Assault

Map Description

  1. Garrett757
    The idea of this map came from GreyMuffinBass so half the credit goes to him for giving me the idea! This map is really a lot of fun we tested it with about 8 players and was exciting every round.

    The premise of the game is fairly easy. Everyone starts with plasma pistols and red team spawns in towers with a multitude of weapons(plasma casters, supressors, fuel rod cannon, storm rifle, railgun). Blue team must deliver the bomb to the end of the level. Red team defends from all of the six towers. To be efficient and win the round as the attacking team they really need to play and move cohesively as a team, providing covering fire and picking up the bomb if the carrier dies.

    I really urge you to try this map and game mode its a ton of fun and we all really enjoyed testing it!

    I thought this looked interesting so I gave it a game in my lobby last night. I got some feedback in case you're interested.

    PROS
    - I like the concept of the map. Teamwork plays a crucial role as players have to move together to keep the bomb moving forward.
    - I like the simple and clean look of the map.

    CON
    - It's too hard for Blue team (the bombers). At first we were making good progress but as soon as Red team figured out how the game works, we got absolutely destroyed. The binaries, in particular are very strong in this map. Providing cover fire didn't do jack **** because we were armed with Plasma Pistols while they had Splasers and Binaries.

    Here are some of my suggestions.

    Have the game set up to where the teams are unbalanced. I'm talking about the number of members per team. I'm thinking 3 or 4 players in red team while everyone else is in blue team. The only "issue" is that your map has to be played with a specific number of people.

    You can have it where the 3 or 4 defenders can teleport from one tower to another to help them defend whichever area they choose or are needed in. I think doing this will make gameplay more balanced because blue team wouldn't have to deal with too many guns firing at them.

    If you don't want to do that, just decrease the firepower of red team and/or increase the firepower of blue team. You could also give blue team some more cover but not to the point where the pathways are too claustrophobic.

    Of course, it's up to you what you want to do with the map. But I highly suggest my first suggestion. The biggest problem of the map right now is the difficulty for blue team but keep in mind that you still want to make it a challenge for them. Don't make it too easy but don't keep it as hard as it is now.

    Yeah I completely agreed with you on most of those points. I would definitely say the binary rifles are very powerful. I deleted them all but two but I may go ahead and do away with them all. On the issue of keeping the teams unbalanced I would say your'e spot on. Most of the time when I play games on it I try to add more players to blue team, however the issue is that when the round switched now red team has more players haha, then when that happens the ball tends to glitch and spawn and reset every second. I would say its the game mode and maybe weapons that need tweaking, and possibly add more cover. Most players are like "This is f****** hard but too fun to quit"
