    Description:

    Auric

    This city of auric has ruined over the milleniums. 8-12 players
    Auric-Dark yellow; Gold

    Welcome to Auric, my assymetrical map in the crypt. The name came from the middle structure, which is my favorite piece of the map aesthetically. The map features interesting geometry, and lots of action. It is also very balanced in weapons and layout. The map works best for assymetric gametypes including one bomb, one flag, and territories, and it also works well for team slayer. I put a lot of time into the map, making sure it's balanced and fun, so I hope you enjoy.

    Weapons:

    Battle Rifle x10
    Spiker x6
    Plasma Pistol x2
    Needler x2
    Brute Shot x2
    Rockets x1 -180 secs. 1 Spare clip
    Sniper Rifle x1 -120 sec. 1 spare clip
    Shotgun x1 -120 sec. 0 Spare clips
    Spartan Laser x1 -180 sec.
    Sentinal Beam x1 -150 sec.

    Plasma Grenades x6
    Regen x2 -90 sec.
    Power Drain x1 -120 sec.

    Mongoose x1 -40 sec. Assymetric only
    Ghost x1 -150 sec. Assymetric only

    Great stuff man, I love the unique structures, and the map design look like it would generate some nice long/medium range br fights. Also, you put in the Sentinel Beam, see, I love that because it's a good weapon and you hardly EVER see it because apparently people hate it. You might want to lower the respawn on some of the weapons too, but overall this is a beastinly map, 4.5/5.

    EDIT: I just looked back over it, and in a few spots there needs to be more cover due to the power weapons.

    If you could point those places out, that would be great. You also should remeber that it's made for 8-12 players, so there shouldn't be a clutter of cover.

    Its a well made map but I disagree with dragunstrike when he/she says that the stuctures are unique. I have seen many maps similar to this. This is not neccessarily a bad thing but it just means theres nothing seperating this map from everyone elses'.

    I'm sure this map plays well and it has the potential for fun games and I'm not hating on your map but I'm just advising you that its very similar to others and I suggest next time you make a map, try to include unique, distinguishing features that no-one else had. It will get you a lot more attention and better reviews.

    Thanks for your feedback. I know I have a hard time with unique structures. Maybe it's because I look at so many other maps and go "wow, that's freaking awesome. I should try something like that." Maybe I'm just not as creative as others. It's okay though. Now I'm determined to make a map that will blow everyone away, so look foward to my next creatioon.

    However, I am very proud of this map. I hope that you might download, and you might even find some enjoyment out of the map.
