    Swamp Base

    Swamp base is my first Forgehub map I have been working on with my friend.

    Overview

    Swamp base was an old Forunner structure, which had been left behind by their dissapearance. Untouched by human hands, but becoming overgrown, this base has alot to tell about the Forunners.

    Spawns

    The spawns are very basic. Both teams start behind a glass cover, were they can see each other from across the map. This map is nice for small games, and keeps constant action with the respawn placement. It is also pretty good for 1 on 1 games.

    Weapons

    The weapon placement is symetric, just like the map itself. It includes needle rifles, assualt rifles, a magnum, rocket laucher, grenade launcher, and a few other power weapons.

    Gallery

    I took some screenshots with by buddy, too.

    Boo!

    Have fun with my first forgehub map!

    UPDATE: For those of you complaining about team colored objects, the colors only appear in Team games.

    The map looks pretty good and pretty well built, but i have to say this: the map seems very bland and devoid of colour. i would soon get fed up of seeing the same grey background all match, and if you were too apply some team colours to your scenery it would work wonders. One other problem is that it seems from the pics that whereever you spawn (except behind the glass cover) you are extremely out in the open and it seems very easy to spawn kill enemies with the right weapons. Other than that the map seems well built and thought out, so congratz to your first post and good luck

    Along with this you could also add the tin cups from the toys catagory for grass, enlarge the map a bit (maybe even take down the walls and add a kill boundery), and like monkeybean said just add more "SHAZZAM" in the map.
    If you do this just edit this post, don't add another post unless you REALLY changed a lot and changed the name.
    Happy forging

    May I ask, why exactly is it called 'Swamp Base'? It hardly reminds me of a swamp at all. I like the platform designs, though. But the grass bugs me; it seems so out of place. If you want it to truly be a swamp base, it needs the 'swamp'. As in, more views of the outside to be seen inside the map and maybe the use of upside-down tin cups.
