    Overlook​

    Description: A city that was once full of life, but because of constant rebel attacks, has become a battlefield. This was my first attempt at a city and its pretty tough but i feel like this one came out quite well. It has buildings that are part of the background to give you the since of being in a city as well as buildings in the playable areas which can fully be explored. There are two main ways to get to each base and then there are small walkways as well. The first way is the main street and the second way is behind the buildings in a small ally way. There are 2 mongooses in each garage. I was going to add a subway but ran out of money. Just tell me what you think and have fun. Enjoy!

    Weapons:
    4x Dmr
    1x rocket launcher
    2x needler
    1x needle rifle
    2x sniper rifles
    2x shotguns
    4x human grenades
    4x stick grenades

    Additional Info:
    All the rooftops are able to be accessed except the tallest building and the outside buildings. Spawn points are perfect and all game modes except netrual bomb and race can be played. This map was made for jetpacks and is a perfect jetpack map for all you jetpack fenatics but it was made for no jet packs as well. If you want to play this map anytime just add me gt: jsnoop420 and ill post are matches pics on this as well. Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think of this map and i will gladly respond.

    looks very nice from the pictures. i can actually tell what the buildings are which is good. ive tried to make a city map but my buildings always look like garbage. ill DL it and see if it not only looks like im in a city but also feels like im in a city. good job though

    This map looks amazing. I have been rattling the idea of having a "street fight" map in my head for a while just still very new to the forge so trying to learn how to use it before i go hours and hours of trial and error before i begin to make it. How do I download this map?

    I love the way the whole city is fully integrated with the island, impressive attention to detail. 8D

    Do you host games on it often?

    actually putting it on the top of that mountain took a lot of the money and then the background scenery took a good portion but when i got what was left to build the inside of the map i thought that i was gonna come up short. I actually did quite a good job and i used a piece from every menu and used up my entire budget. It came close with the weapons but i was able to do it.

    I haven't played it yet, but I ran through it. Very impressive job. I was even more impressed when I saw it was pretty symmetrical as well.

    There is some good flow through the map and can't wait to test it out for you. You really inspired me to create my own city type map now.

    What I was most impressed at was your attention to detail. Even adding rocks underneath structure you wouldn't see just to add to the aesthetics and structural believabilty was fantastic. Keep up the great work.

    Great map, great to look at but no way is it big enough for 16 players.

    I'd suggest changing the max players tick box to 8

    Great map, Its got a ton of potential for those close quarter fights and the big open areas for more distance battles too. Awesome work :)

    Looks pretty good although I fear the thought of flashies on the road pieces..

    that was the most important part of making the city believible. I didnt want floating building and bad textures. The part that made me most sad on my map was the road. Since i build the map as i went i didnt really plan for exactly how the road was going to look so i just place the best road i could. But other then that i am very proud of this map and thank everyone for the amazing feedback and downloads. If you find anything wrong, any glitches or anything just let me know but as far as i know its perfect. The best thing about this map is that it feels like your in a city!

    i never set it to 16 players. I think 4-12 works perfect on this map. But i hope to come out with an even bigger city that will allow tanks and all sorts of crazyness. O and just to let everyone know my friends will be hosting a play date for this map and others like it on saturday. If you wanna come just message my gt jsnoop420 but you better hurry because we already have like 12 people on the list.

    As for the map I was going to also put flying veichles and add a third level plus teleporters but ran out of money. If anybody wants any of this i can optumize the map so i can make some additions. Other wise PERFECT MAP!

    this is by far the best city map to date. I played this system link with my buddys and i am happy to report that there were no glitches. I really love how you put the city right at the edge of a cliff. Gives you a sense that the city it looming over you. 5/5 Great Job

    This is a very good city map! I like the fact that it turns, instead of being straight and squared looking.

    Plays extremely well. FFA was my favorite gametype. It kind of turned out being a sort of Tower of Power map... which was freakin awesome.

    Man cannons works well for pathing, and not just for the person using them, but for the other players on the map, a sort of audio q.

    Even though the map is slightly complecated, and it seemed a little pointlessly big at some times (like parts of the map werent used), it still brought fast and intense gameplay.

    This map is definatly staying on my harddrive.
