    Hey!

    So I made this map for the Bungie contest back in December. And even though I didn't win, I decided to share it with you guys and see what you think!

    Overhead View:

    So basically, it's a Team Slayer oriented map (however I love infection and I added that for a game mode. I've found it is pretty fun on this map). Mostly symmetrical. It's multi leveled and linked together with
    [​IMG]
    man cannons
    [​IMG]
    which work pretty much all the time (in my testing) unless you do something purposefully to prohibit their function.

    It also includes a "base", red and blue, on each side.
    Like this one:

    And some structure on the top of the pillar:
    [​IMG]
    (that area is good to defend from zombies. Just sayin')

    So yeah. I just felt that the random pillar in the water didn't get enough attention so I decided to build a map there.
    Download, try it out, love it! (I hope)

    Post any tips, problems, ideas, or bugs to fix that can improve gameplay.
    Thanks!

    There are a lot of problems i see with your map, but the biggest one is how generic it is. I give a +1 since you used the pillar but everything else seems boring. Maps that have floating bridges all over the place get real old real fast. Also bridge XL are know to cause some serious framerate lag

    Yes I agree with Mulelish there is nothing special about it and you use a lot of buildings as well. Try building something completely different by not using the buildings that Bungie gives us and thats when your creativity can really be shown.

    Where is the creativity in this map? You didn't use much to make this map. Maybe try putting some more thought into your next post. Keep trying though, look at other maps around forge hub to get some ideas. This isn't horrible. I don't mean to be offensive, so don't blow this outta proportion. I like how you used the Pillar though, good idea. Welcome to forgehub too.

    I agree with all of you,

    Also try using a different thumbnail for your post, I was slightly pushed away by the lack of information in the picture based on the map

    Hope that made sense :)
