Sandbox SoGgy Cave V2

Hey,
I'm happy to know that you took note of my review.
Well the aesthical still the same, but the weapon sound really more balanced.
I'll delete the older version to make a place for this one .
It really worth it

 

I played on it and love the look only propblem is that every thing spawns to quick. Like the Invisability and the Grav lift it spaws after 30 seconds just ajust it a bit. so i give it a 7/10

 

I like how you made changes and listened to the testers guild members that gave feedback (like myself). All the changes sound good, except that you still say that 10 people can "enjoy" the map at once. This isn't the case seeing as i've played it with 6 and it was already way too crowded.

I would've liked to see an expansion to the level but I guess that doesn't fit into your budget. Lastly, the weapon placement sounds MUCH better than the v1. Weapons were the main cause of anger among players in the first version.

 

SoGgy Cave​

Enjoyment:

I'm never going spelunking again. Other than that it is cave themed, there's not much to say about SoGgy Cave. Playing anything beyond 2v2 is stupidly clustered (and even 2v2 is a stretch) while the weapons are overpowering and ill-suited for such a tiny play area. So many items have been placed to give SoGgy Cave it's rugged visuals that the budget has been stretched to its limit, and while it may look good, all that glitters is not golden. Gametypes don't work particularly well on the map due to its size, eliminating any ideas of teamwork or strategy, and the map's area diversity is so sparse that there's no question of whether or not the enemy knows *exactly* where you are going to spawn, which is maddeningly frustrating.

2/10​

Balance:

Each team spawns with a shotgun in their base, the first sign of the map's balancing issues. On opposite sides in the middle spawns a Sword and an Active Camo, both set (strangely) to 30 seconds. If you want to be invisible the entire game you can, and with so many close-range weapons in such a small map, why wouldn't you. Players have no-where to go, and it's almost impossible for someone to kill with the BR or Assault Rifle before an enemy can close the distance with a melee weapon. Despite being a symmetrically designed map, the ledge on the red side is scalable, while the blue side is not, and this oversight gives the blue team an advantage in Flag e.c.t.

2/10​

Durability:

My main criticism of SoGgy Cave is that it isn't large enough to support the number of spawns that a good competitive map requires. This makes it way too easy to predict enemy spawns and spawn camp the top ledge and the bottom tunnel, the only two exits out of the bases. Two narrow exits. It wouldn't be so bad if the map had a greater distance between bases, or more levels, but when you are able to throw grenades where you know an opponent ought to spawn, there is obviously something fundamentally wrong with the map. There are no blind-spots, and the map's ceiling makes it inescapable.

4/10​

Aesthetics:

Aesthetics is the only section where SoGgy Cave makes a positive impression. Objects are used to form irregular shapes making the cave look almost like a natural formation, with the presence of wall moss (using tin-cups), and a thin stream. It isn't perfect, but it's still very impressive, especially considering the large obtrusive objects from which it was made, to form gradual curves.

7/10​

Originality:

It's hard to make believable scenery out of objects, and SoGgy Cave pulls this off well. It's an original map with an original design... that just doesn't translate well to gameplay.

I really like this map. It has excellent aesthetical thouches, however, this idea has been done before but I've never seen a symmetrical cave. I like the way it plays!
