Backbone

This is my first map on Forge World, and my first ever post on Forge Hub. This map is a remake of an old map of mine, dubbed Deathwish. Now, I would like to present...

Backbone

This is a remake of one of my old maps, but about 4x the size with a ton of new features. It contains multi-layered bridges and platforms in a symmetrical, square format. It is best to play big team battle games and objectives, but is also fun to play slayer with a larger party. Also keep in mind that for full enjoyment, play games with jetpack loadout, since flying to all the platforms is awesome. Also sprinting and jumping around is like parkour in this map, I found out firsthand.

I meant to make this map a lot smaller and compact, but with Forge World your imagination soars. I used up the whole budget on this work, and had many tests on each game type.

Edit:
Weapons list:
DMR - 2
Needle Rifle - 4
Plasma Pistol - 2
Plasma Repeater - 2
Grenade Launcher - 2 (Medium ammo, however. It is sort of a power weapon, but this map is open, reducing its effectiveness.)
Concussion Rifle - 2 (Again, like the ProPipe, reduced effectiveness)
Sniper Rifle - 2
Shotgun - 2
Needler -2
Rocket Launcher - 1
Plasma Launcher - 1
Assault Rifle - 2
Magnum - 2
Frag Grenade - 4, Plasma Grenade - 8

Pictures

Blue and Red bases with their towers. Towers contain snipers with long respawn times. Overpowered position TBA, since in playtests it was actually easy to kill the sniper with all the vantage points.

Roof of the main house and overlooks, which are accessible by teleporters in each tower and man cannons on opposite corners of map from towers. The middle of main house lies a Plasma Cannon.

Bottom of map, with rockets in the center on the rock. Waist high waters are fun to fight in, and added some natural railings for the edges. Hole in the middle leads to main room.

Center room, hole leads to rockets. Don't mind the floating flag, part of Stockpile shenanigans.

The top center is open for a reason. If there was too much cover, it would be too good a vantage point, since almost the whole map is open to the top. Since it is open, and there are many ways up, it prevents spawn camping from the top. The map that was the idea for this had that problem, as the top platform was prone to camping.

 

I'll get on that real soon

 

Update: now available for infection and safe haven games
