    This map is a team based slayer and objectives type map.
    using both sides of the bridge as bases for objectives, and the middle, for things such as the assault bomb, or flags.

    [​IMG]

    the bridge has 3 ways to get to each side, and has features such as a sniper spot at each side with view of the middle of the bridge, an upper level under the bridge roof which people can jump up to and hide/camp/Death from Above, and a middle and under platforms for power weapons

    im not quite sure on how much budget i have used, but if i have enough extra funds i will either extend the bridge, add more detail to the team bases, or add more pathways between sides.

    in the pictures shown, it is attached via a wall which will be placed next to the mountain side.
    but if i have enough budget, i will try and bridge it between the 2 sides of bloodgulch.

    look on the inside of the bridge, door on the left leads to the lowest pathway, right door leads to base building

    random place to put spawn/weapons, or a place to shoot from

    showing the base. at the moment it looks too empty, but i will add more detail to the final map

    any suggestions for the map, or a name for it?

    I have a name idea for it. Narrows.

    what...? They already did that..?

    Okay then call it slims.

    Um, this looks nothing like Narrows. Just because this is a bridge map doesn't mean he's coping Narrows. The aesthetics look top notch man, just make sure there are plenty of alternate routes to mix up the gameplay.

    well, there are a few parts which routes could be added to.

    and wondering where i should put the location though, since it would be good to use part of the landscape to fight in and not just for the view.

    for some reason this reminds me of narrows. i like the map and the layout and all but i'm not really keen on the straight shape but i guess thats what works so good luck with that. i'm concerned withe the shape of the bridge overall because longs straight hallways provide basically no over. i guess people can weave in and out of the hallways but if you dont think you will change the shape of the bridge, at least add some cover. its a forerunner bridge after all. forerunner = old. old = debris. debris = good cover. overall: (^_^)=b

    i will probably widen the main bridge then with the big white and blue slated window pieces as floor pieces.
    so it doesn't look so narrow...

    what should i use as cover for the main bridge then?

    it probably wont play well. you should make it some sort of base, at leas under it or something. put a subway under it. i just want to see something a lot more complex underground.

    it is a bridge. it cant be much of a base.
    it is meant to be a pathway between the two bases at each side of the bridge. which you can see in the second picture.

    if i end up making the bridge between the mountains in the canyon/bloodgulch then i might make the bases bigger. and possibly add a big lower bridge made of the large wall pieces, as a vehicle bridge so you can have vehicle warfare.
