Download Kingdom Welcome to my entry for ForgeHubs Foreign Treasures Contest. Kingdom is a remake of Quake Live's map Hell's Gate. Kingdom is symmetrical, rather small and built in Sandbox's Skybubble. Due to it's size and openness, I wouldn't recommend to play it with more than 6 people. It plays best with 2v2 Slayer/CtF or FFA with up to 5(6) people. As mentioned, Kingdom is based on a Quake Map, if you have ever played Quake you'll remember it's intense speed and hectic gameplay, due to this, Kingdom shows it's full potential when it is played with the current MLG settings, it is set up for Team Slayer, 5Flag and FFA (Switch Weapons on Map to Map Default). Unlike Hell's Gate, Kingdom's weapon set is rather small, there are only 2 Power Weapons and one piece of equipment on it. There is a Rocket in the canopied building and a Sniper in the open structure. The Overshield is located on the small bridge in the middle. The Sniper surely is the most dominant weapon on the Map, a good sniper can pick up 3-5 constant kills before being taken out, without BR Starts it's very difficult to kill the sniper if he gets protected by his team. The Rocket has to be used precisely, most of the Map is only bordered by a guard rail, so if you aim too high, your rocket will miss. Geometry Changes: I had to make some changes in contrast to Hell's Gate due to the Object Limit and the crappy canvas I used Map is bordered by a guard rails, not a giant wall Sniper Spawn Area is open, not canopied Man Cannon at Sniper Spawn had to be replaced by a jump Additional Cover on each side of the Map Everything else is as close to the original as possible MLG FFA on Kingdom [bungievid]114170225[/bungievid] Link to Bungie in case the video doesn't work Thanks to all my testers (Zneakey, Tidus, VeriTy, Shadow and Scorpion) Download Kingdom
BR AR starts would be perfect for this map. I see too many people in the corners or in the sniper point camping with the BRs and frustratin people. ARs can counter that, even if the map is open. Trust me I would not say this if it wasn't true. ARs make a difference fight the powah of MLG BR Snipah.
Looks great, and also looks like it could support around 10 players instead of 6 as you said. The asthetic structures look very neat, clean, and interesting. Tis looks like an overall great map.
Absolutely loved Quake back in the day. Amazing game. Although my memory of many of the maps is a bit shady. I would suggest putting up a few pics of the actual maps if you can find them (try QuakeLive) for comparison shots. But as far I can tell the map is excellently done and anything that combine my 2 favorite FPS is definitely worth the DL
Dont fight it, embrace it. The difference between a low 40s MLG player and a truly great player is the ability to use any weapon, at any time, in any situation, and win. Battle Rifles beat AR most of the time but in some situations the Assault Rifle will come out victorious. But the sniper is amazing ♥ Beleive me, LD is one to test his maps well. If he reccomends no more than six players then you want six players. @LD: This map looks sexy! Its incredibly clean and well forged, and i wish i could get a game on it before my xbox live runs out! Gosh darnit.... Anyway, im impressed with the clean forging of this and the accuracy. Good job.
The pictures don't do this map any justice at all. The video does, however. This is an unbelievably beautiful map, everything about it is expertly done. Those middle ramps are so precisely merged that they don't look merged at all. Damn fine work there, and the gameplay looked incredible. You got an LD from me, DL. Oh wait, uh...
That's why the original link is posted too, I've seen a lot of video errors on FH lately, so I don't think it's my video, since that's working fine on Bungie. You can play it with the starting wepons you want to, mine are just suggestions. But due to the openness of the Map, the AR was nearly useless, a good BR Player can dominate the close and the open parts of the Map. We had no camping problem during our testing. There are spawns right next to the Sniper Spawn to counter camping, if you pick up a player with your sniper on the other side of the Map, he will most likely spawn somewhere near you, since there are very few spawns. No. 6 Players are the absolute maximum, it plays best wth only 4. We tried a round of MLG TS with 8 Players and it played horrible, the Map was overcrowded, there were granades everywhere and the spawns didn't work out at all Thanks for the suggestion, I will update the thread when I come home It truly is, the Sniper is alway one of my favourite weapons to go for on a Map, but on Kingdom it's just epic. Icwatudidthar, thanks for the feedback bros, I really appreciate it ♥ I had to update the Map, the lifts could be destroyed by the rockets and were not set to infinite spawn, please download the 'new' version our update your old.
