I'm beginning to test my first ever competitive map. It is a 2v2-3v3 map that is in a figure 8 with a path from the top to the bottom... It incorporates the water of forgeworld pretty well me thinks. I need some name ideas as well....any thoughts? Messy Overview
The map looks great. It's obvious to me that gameplay wasn't your only concern, considering all of the tricks you've used to make the map look so pretty to look at. My only concern is the spawn points, from what I could tell there aren't any regular spawn points on the map. This can be a problem considering how players will spawn outside the map when they die. Besides that petty concern, the map looks awesome. I would suggest Ocelot for the name. 'osee-lot'
I'm still working on spawns, but some of those pictures weren't taken in forge. That is why it doesn't show the spawn points. I'm 100% positive that no one will spawn outside =P
Okay, cool. What gametypes are you going to support with this map. I personaly think that all maps to support a variety of gametypes besides slayer. But that's just me.
I have it set up for slayer, ctf, oddball, and King of the Hill right now. The only gametype that I'll be worried about is CTF since it is a rather small map.
Halo PC had an 8 shaped map, they called it Infinity, but using that name could of course confuse your map with a remake. Lemniscate is the name of the infinity symbol, I don't know how that sounds to you. You could of course just call it Eight. Or eight in a different language, see eight - Wiktionary Edit: Symbol!
This looks like it could be a lot of fun. I like the looks of the window wall and the water-filled walkway on the bottom. Perhaps "Crazy Eights" would be an acceptable name for the map (I'm not usually good with names, so feel free to completely ignore this name suggestion if you don't like it).
I had my first couple tests today and they went pretty solid. I had no problems with the spawns, but there was some slight frame rate issues. I deleted some windows and moved some stuff around to accommodate for that. I'm hoping to get some more test sessions in later to see how things go.
