Thanks for the comments guys!

As for the trees I don't think they change colour when you get close to them. I'm not 100% sure though. Also agree that the transition between grass and 'sand/rock' couldve been done more realistically, although it is quite hard to do that and to keep the framerate good. @Buddy Jumps

Also the spawnplacements might be a bit off, I just placed them really quick and just made sure that each one had a wall in their backs. I really couldn't see forge anymore after putting so many hours into it the last couple days lol @Psychoduck

 

I felt that the map would be too small for rockets and therefore be too overpowered on the map.

I wouldn't be opposed to testing it with rockets on it though.

Also I won't able to test it out this week or next week as I won't be at home. However I thought that War will be testing maps this weekend, so hoping that he can provide some gameplay footage on it!

 

WaiHo submitted a new map:

Eden - A small fast paced asymmetrical map designed for Slayer, KotH and Oddball

Thanks for the feedback War! Could you elaborate a bit more on the weapon layout that you had in mind? I personally had a feeling before that rockets would be a bit overpowered on the map, however I also feel that the sentinel beam is a weapon that doesn't provide much exciting gameplay around it. I actually think that replacing the sentinel beam with the rocket launcher could be possible. However making the rockets spawn in the lower area (where the sentinel beam spawns right now) to promote movement towards that area as well.

I also thought about the hill placements and the routes into them, all of them have atleast 3 routes into them. So I was wondering about which hills specifically you thought needed additional routes.

 

Update version 1.2

Some small tweaks have been made.
- Colored all blocks at gold correctly (missed a few)
- Moved sentinel beam slightly to make it easier to spot
- Fixed camo spawn, it wasn't working properly as it only spawned twice a game.

This version can be found on my fileshare.

 

At first I had a forerunner lift instead of the shield doors, however when you went back down the lift you would get stuck in it. So therefore I chose to use shield doors as there is no way that you would get stuck.

I'm not too sure what you mean about moving the sentinel beam closer to the sniper spawn as it doesn't spawn at start currently. So the red spawn doesn't have that advantage. Or do you mean red side in general?
If the rockets would be placed where sniper is right now, where would you place the sniper then? Maybe at back green ramp?

I'll check it out tomorrow though, as I can't get online today. But I do agree that the area leading from blue to gold could use a little change to make that area more accessible for the blue side. I do have a little idea for that though.

 

Yeah that is pretty much my idea haha. Gonna try to forge that tomorrow. Stay tuned!

 

I've uploaded a test version of the map on my fileshare. (Version 2.0 test)

Some changes that I've made are as follows:
- Rockets spawning in gold/rock tunnel (3min respawn timer)
- Sniper spawns at back green ramp (not placed at start)
- Sentinel beam removed
- Added a shield door at receiver teleporter so that you cannot stand on it.
- Added a jump up to Receiver teleporter
- Added railings to receiver teleporter
- Changed the entrance to gold from blue. ( see image below)



@WARHOLIC

I saw the edits you map on the map, I still very much dislike the forunner lifts. On your version it was still very easy to get stuck in them. I am pretty set on keeping the shield door ladder system as it is the most reliable and consistent small lift that you could make imo. I liked some of the other changes though, as you can see back in this test version.

 

Could you explain this a bit further?

- Where are holes in the map?
- Also inconsistant object coloring? The only thing that I think that you could mean is at Gold, but that has been fixed. For the HCS an older version was edited and the object colors at Gold were thus not edited.
- And what is wrong with the kill zones? They are all placed in such way to make sure that the map isn't breakable. There are some soft kill zones at rocks so that players cannot climb on top or behind them. It is fairly easy to jump around all the rock pieces due to all the edges.
