    Here is a map I decided to make in the confined cave in Forgeworld. This map is fun when played in small teams (2 vs. 2) or ffa. If you do 4 vs. 4 expect a short life expectancy. This is a very simple and easy map to follow.

    Sorry, I was trying to get a thumbnail in. I'm currently trying to get the other one deleted.

    If someone could help me find the correct code for inserting a thumbnail image it would be helpful.

    Wow, this reminds me a lot of Isolation or tat one underground level from Halo 1. I really like how you mixed the colored parts with the dark and light parts of the cave. Nice map!

    Finally got my thumbnail in and I had to make a minor visual adjustment to the map. Everything should be good now.

    Those screenshots are breathtaking. Looks severely smooth, I have trouble getting thumbnails to work with my maps as well. I post the direct link to the image, but it still doesn't work. How did you get your's to work?

    Nice looking map. The tunnels look unique.
    @ Megadoug, you can upload your images to photobucket and link them that way.

    The corridors mad from tunnels is a really nice look. I can imagine creating an entire map this way, but there are just not enough wall objects to do it... The use of object color is also a nice touch.

    The circulation of the map would have benefited from a few more paths... but I recognize how difficult that is within the confines of the cave...

    After playing the map i have to say; why is it soooooo small??? I know you wanted to fit it in the cave but when i played 3v3 i could barely spawn without someone seeing me. It would be a fantastic map if you could find a way to make it bigger.

    Tinyness is a problem for building in the cave, especially when using pieces like the tunnel that take up much more space than they afford to players passing through. This might be a good map to limit to 2 vs. 2 or 1 vs. 1 play (unless you just like it frantic). My own map Speleology was built in the cave and is not exactly huge either, although I think I did as good of a job as possible at providing some distinct paths from one end to the other that you can follow without directly seeing or interacting with enemies (unless you look for them, of course).

    I have just about finished with another original creation called "Echo Base". It is well detailed in looking like an actual map not created in forge. I'll add some images of it when I upgrade my fileshare.

    Unfortunately im having a visual glitch in the map so it will require some time :'(
