The drilling platform has been locked up for the season. You're left behind with no food, You must kill to survive! 2-6 Players Introduction Hello everyone, I am very pleased to present you today with: Obstructed. This Blackout map is one of the first maps to use the No-Clip glitch yet to be posted on F101. I'm not claiming it is the first to use it, but I have only seen 1 or two other maps that use this trick. Enough with the glitch, onward to the map itself. Description The primary concept when I was making this map was to block off all indoor places in blackout and have multiple additional walkways traveling off from where the door used to be. I wasn't going to be all noobish and use doors. I wanted to stand out. All entry-ways were blocked off using a type of block, e.g. double block, single block etc... After all the entryways were blocked, Walkways needed to be built so your not just stuck at a dead end. This became a problem due to the railings on the built-in walkways. For each new one, a small ramp had to be merged into place. Now, I understand that there may be some bumps. They're so small, you don't even notice them when actually playing the game. That was one thing that I was concerend about before playtesting, but it came out fine. The wepons also changed during the delveopment. Originaly the power wepons were shotty, rockets, and mauler; but due to the playtesters' comments, I swapped the rockets with an 8-shot sniper. This seamed to work out quite well actually.

Nice marging. I just saw your post int he New forge Glitch thread. For this merging technique to only be out for a week or so you sure did an excellent job. Congrats on a great map. I just hope the gameplay is as amazing as the asthetics.
wow that is an amazing amount of brilliant geo merging in this map and that is a great idea to block off the interior and add in a bunch of new walkways and higher up areas what is the no clip glitch can you post a link to it
did you use the new glitch for this? if not, great geomerging, and if yet...still amazing work. the added objects really add a new demension to blackout, it seems like it might also make a good template as well.
To answer everyone's questions: This was done using the No-Clip glitch. Does it make it easier? Yes. Just because it took half the time, does it mean you still shouldn't respect the map. No. Because you No-Clipped, it means your not a good forger and can't geomerge any of these? No, and I would like to see the best geo-merger on earth to attempt this and see how long it takes.

'And here I though everyone and his brother john had heard of this.' Anyway, this looks epic. It also looks like you had a lot of fun. I really hope that this will be the first of many new ideas being built in places other than sandbox or foundry. I downloaded this, and I say; FORGING FTW
Lol, not a lot of people know about. Just the people who happen to stumble upon the thread in Forge Discussion. Just wait until the F101 comes out, then everyone will know. And btw, see if you can get this map as an example or somthing to what you can easily do with no-clipping. I feel like I really adding somthing to the community about this whole new glitch. From discovering the invis-object glitch fix to making the first published no-clipped map.
This map really inspires me to build a non-foundry/sanbox map. This would normally take extreme precision and a lot of time, but with the no-clip glitch, anything is possible.
Thanks for all the comments! I am planning on updating this after awhile. I was thinking about replacing the shotgun with a 0-clip 150 respawn rocket. I also plan on noclipping a small wall in the center platform in place of the crates and stuff, to make the map a little less open, ya'know? Can I get some feedback on those changes?
It looks very good, but since you saved so much time with the no-clip glitch, couldn't you have at least made all the boxes the same color? That would make it so much more beautiful.
Orange, you obviously didn't read the thread completly. There is a very easy way to do it without OLN. ShadooBlade, I did think about it, but it would have taken so much longer to save and quit everything. And what if the no-clipped object wasn't the right color. Ugh. I wanted to get this map out there first, and I didn't have much time. It still turned out really well, and because blackout is well, black, half of the objects are dark anyway and you don't even notice them most of the time.
That's just being really lazy. You saved days or even possibly WEEKS of work, and you won't even take the time and effort to at least make all the boxes the same color. Color coding boxes does not take an incredible amount of time, and probably would have taken you only a couple more hours than what you've spent to get everything right. It'd make your map look much better than it already is and would have been worth it in the end.
WOW! This is an excellent map the Geo merging is stunning and the way that you Geo merged the stuff so perfectly and most of it is also emerged.. I like the way you placed the stuff around the map.. Like by cutting off the grav lift and most of the rooms. Deserves a feature 10/10
Phssht. Jesus, come on. It took five days to do this and now you want me to spend 2 or three more days on top of that. I'm not lazy, I just didn't have any time. Besides, the map is made, it's done, I'm not going to remake this map from scratch just for a color. And BTW this wasn't even the first No-clipped map, so I missed the deadline anyways. "i can forge" I don't think you know how to forge, this wan't geomerging... No-Clipping.
this great map is really great and has a great idea to it. I'm glad that you made my life a little more funner thanks to this map. You're awesome forger Love,
Well, its not everyday that you see a map on Blackout. This map has amazing geo-merging even if it was done with the new glitch and a good layout, I really like how you blocked off the insides to the buildings, it almost looks like a new map. This is my new personal favorite Blackout map due to it just being epic awesomeness. Nice Job diger44 - 10/10 - Reincarnation
