    EXPOLSIONS ON THE HILL

    I thought it would be cool to stick a bunch of stuff in the ground.
    Little did I know, I would actualy find use to my load of crap.
    When I was done putting blocks into the sand, I realized I could keep the center blank.
    All exept for one lonely hill.
    I scattered HEAVY weapons and vehicles in tactical locations around the outskirts of the map, leaving the hill all by its lonesome.
    On the hill, I had to find a way to defend against the HEAVY attacks.
    I put an instant respawn trip mine and a missle pod in the center :)
    So basicaly the objective is to maintain control of the large center hill.

    HERE ARE THE WEAPONS/VEHICLES AND ALL ALL SHOWN ON THE MAP BELOW:
    • 2 Sniper Rifles
    • 2 Rocket Launchers
    • 2 Spartan Lasers
    • 2 Gauss Warthogs
    • 2 Hornets
    • 2 Scorpions
    • 1 Turret for one lucky dude :)

    Wow.... the middle is by far waaaaaaaaaaay too open. If I was to spwan there, I would be spawned killed easily by a Sniper or another Power Weapon. Also, why did you put just power weapons, what about weapons like the Br or Ar or even Carbines?

    i think that's the point of the game, so that you have to defend the hill in a crazy match against people with rockets and such

    You can see where the spawns are in the pictures.. and there are none in the middle. But i agree with you. i think the center needs to shrink.. but not too much shrinkage...

    This is an incredibly original idea, and the fact that you've made an attractive map with good gameplay makes this idea even more impressive. Regardless of what people like Jpeloquin say, there is almost no Spawn Killing on this map. There were definitely a few instances where I was kinda like "Whaa?" after dying a few seconds after spawning, but moments like this are incredibly rare. Still this is something that you should try to improve, Squidkake. I personally don't think you have any need to include extra ammo for weapons like the AR or BR, as that will just take focus away from the insane power weapons on the map (which, as a credit to Squidkake, never made one side too overpowered).
    ...

    Squidkake, this map is truly motha truckin good, and you definitely deserve some credit for it. If everone started taking risks and making new, creative, and original maps, God nows what we'd have. Anyways, here is an extra rep for making this map. Enjoy, and save for a rainy day.

    Edit: You're supposed to post a link straight to your Map and Gametype by the way. Linking straight to your File Share is against 4chub rules : P

    That would go against the entire point of the game...The center is supposed to be wide open, so that you trade in your safety for Hill time. This is the same basic idea behind the Regen maps, and most other succesful KotH games.


    (P.S. sorry about outsourcing the link to Xforge...It was the only one I could find : P)​

    I appreciate the critisism but I appreciate HarisSales1996 even more. He basicaly said it all for me. The object of the game is for one person (or more) to hold off countless HEAVY matchups. The middle is supposed to be open and if you actualy looked at my pics then youd know that there is NO way to spawn there. Please download my map everybody! :)
