Hi guys, my first post here with my first map... ever. Lets start by saying this started out being an aesthetics only map but obviously with some lovingly tweaks here and there, this map is turning out to be one hell of a hell of a good time, well for me and my friends at least. Game Play. Invasion - Within the first 30 seconds of every round (provided you've got a full room) this map executes exactly what i wanted to achieve with this map. picture this - the attacking team all spawns across the water equipped with 4 falcons, with the death star peering through the trees just over the horizon. 4 members of the defending team each spawn right next to one of the 4 shade turrets located in the trench, and the other 4 spawn right in front of the entrance to the banshee hangar which you will find 4 banshees. The money shot belongs to the attacking team as they fly towards the death star they are met by the 4 defending banshees and a blanket of turret fire... sweet. I would have been happy with that but the action doesn't stop there. The space battle cant last forever as the falcons re-spawn every 5 seconds and the banshees every 180. that leads to the entire defending team re-spawning in the death star and the attacking team desperately trying to board it. scenes play out reminiscent of fire fight battles as falcons fly in like drop ships dropping of wave after wave of intruders. The first 2 objectives are territories. The first I'd like to mention here for I think I did something truly unique. I used the objective area marker as an artistic feature by adjusting the volume and height to make the laser beam. The third objective is to recover the core and make your way down to the bottom of the death star where you'll find a man cannon that'll cary you to the get away submarine. Yes there is even a submarine. As this being my first map i would greatly appreciate any criticism in regards to game play. You can find version 2.0 and the new 3.0 in my file share along with my invasion game type. Also if you read the description you'll find an invitation to join my beta/custom games room every sunday around 10pmE. Down players/testers only! no tards. More game types coming soon! here is a 4v4 video of our first test of the map. lots have changed. as soon as I have my first 8v8 match on this match I plan on releasing one epic video!

the laser is the objective. stand anywhere in the laser and you are captureing the objective. i placed my hill marker, flipped it 45, made the radius .01, and the height 110.9 and blam! have laser will travel...
only one who is strong with the force can deactivate the laser beam... lol, i need to go to bed. yes only one and he has to stand dead center, which wont be easy with everyone walking around with concussion rifles. so you better bring some backup.
This looks freakin amazing. I'm absolutely using this in my next custom game session, and will report back with concerns or more praise.
Wow! This map looks awesome! Would you be able to set up the interior of the Death Star for Slayer as well? Looks like it would be really cool for that too, and expands the use of the map One little niggle which is flaring in my nerdy mind is the fact that the power core, which you've made underneath the central platform, should really be central to the exterior shell of the Death Star... I know it's a ridiculous point, but I can't help feeling that it's wrong... But a great looking map, it is really interesting to me and I can't wait to play on it!
VERY NICE! Wish the budget allowed yo to use alot more though. Just saying it would be cool to have the spot where the emperor sits in there
you'll see at the top it is compatible with slayer. i haven't set it up for team slayer yet but it's coming. about the core, i've got a great story to go with the map that i'll post with the final version. this will be the story of the "Bothans" that stole the plans for the death star. they actually stole the plans from a scale test model of the death star the empire was using to perform test fires of their new weapon. its going to be epic. Added after 1: yeah that would be cool. you just gave me an idea for a future map "The Emperor's Chambers"
