Eruption Welcome to Eruption, my first competitive 1v1 map. It was originally going to be called "Gold Rush" and was actually going to be a conquest-like game along this long gold mine but due to the limited abilties of forge, I decided to shorten it down to what I had and discovered this filter that looked it was the inside of a volcanno (orange filter + very dark spot + yellow lights), and wha-lah, Eruption. Its, honestly, not my favorite thing I made, but it sure looks original and the other maps need "tuning". This only really supports 1-4 slayer matches and SWAT is fun here. If people want to join together to try and make "Gold Rush", just PM me, but for now, try out the map and tell me what you think. Weapons: Grenade Launcher Gravity Hammer Frags x2 Spiker I wanted to go for some theme with the weapons. The best word I could think for the theme is "groundy" and that list of weapons seems pretty groundy to me. Hammer Spawn Path A Spawn A There are five areas within this map. Path A, Spawn A, Path B, Spawn B, and the conveyor belt. Spawn A is where the green spartan is; the spiker and two frags spawn there. Going out of Spawn A to Path A is where my spartan (the one wearing the fish bowl for a helmet) is crouching behind a box. At the end of Path A is the grenade launcher spawn. Spawn B is next to the grenade launcher spawn and that is where I am in the first picture. Path B is the hammer spawn. The conveyor belt is split inbetween spawn A and spawn B and accessible from either rock climbing or jet packing.
hmm the weapon list is very groundy execpt for the spiker but i supose assault rifle or plasma rifle sounds less groundy, over all the map looks good but it seems kinda tight for a grenade launcher, i imagine i would turn a corner and BOOM!. I'll dl and get back to you though, maybe im wrong
Well, most people choose jet packs and armor lock for this map. The grenade launcher has about, oh geez, like three ammo anyway and one hit doesn't usually kill you, or maybe I'm wrong. Its hard to find anyway. I was actually a bit skeptical at first for putting it in but I guess I just have to wait and see.
I just qu'd it. I'll check it out when I get the chance and I'll write back here. Although it does look cool. Edit: I checked it out and played a one v one on it. It looks amazing. It is all well put together and just looks great. Unfortunately the gameplay was still a little choppy. The map is incredibly small and it has very quick battles. The surfaces used makes walking somewhat difficult but all together it's not a horrible map.
Mind if i borrow? Really love the volcano idea, and the lighting. Although the map itself is... OK, I feel like it could be so much more, so you don't mind if I borrow a very good idea and improve on it? Dont want to make my map and have someone say "oo you stole this from that one map, no one dl this!" Heh. Good job on the feel though, really does feel like a volcano. Just a bit to simple for my liking.
I dig the ambient lighting in this one. The area around the grenade launcher spawn is a bit dark though; you can't see jack of what's going on.
