    You win the battle then you're bored in a cave


    Description:
    When the avalanche struck, the exits to the cave were blocked off. Now the armies are Caved In. They have established small camps, but are fighting for the central structure, which contains many advanced weapons. Fit for Slayer, Assault, and CTF. The screenshots show everything.

    Drop down the center to get the camo. It brings you to the FRC

    One thing I don't like from the pictures is those "needle crates". I always have problems jumping out of those damn things. A simple fix would be fusing ramps into them so that its nice and easy to walk out.

    I need to clear up my 100 limit. Once I do I'll test it out and see how it plays.

    You definitely have some creative ideas...I would like to see some interlocking in your maps..this will help broaden your skills and open up ideas for more creativity (and frustration at first) for your maps....great job...it is a bit open...need some cover and such...so you cant portal camp

    Good idea. Interlocking is very frustrating lol. But I think the jump was necessary. If you try camping in there, and someone throws a grenade in, you gotta make that jump really quickly.

    EDIT: Also, cover is not needed because of all the jumps. You can jump onto the lift or even to a separate level. There will be a lot of what I call 'Chase and Tackle.' Where you hunt them around corners and teleporters and such.

    There are 2 camps for objective games. They each have portals to enter/exit the cave. Then there are 2 at the bottom level which both lead to one of the needler crates (at random).

    This map seems alright. I like the first screenshot you had in the post with that cool effect. For the most part it seemed entertaining, but this map couold really be straightened up. There were crooked boxes and ramps too numerous to count, you really should have used a better frame system to keep everything straight. Otherwise, this looks like your best work yet.

    It would be nice if you fixed the crooked things to make it look nicer

    I really like the idea, and the layout seems good, using the other areas of the map with teleporters, but im afraid that it would be easy to camp them, as it is with all teleproters.

    I've seen some better done cave maps like cavern v2 and aylied you should use some ideas from there maps and put them in yours to improve your maps overall appeal.

    I don't know, I really think from now on after seeing this you should try to do something new and innovative, it has already become cliche` to make indoor cave maps..... but I guess what's done is done.

    Seems pretty good if a little sloppy in places.. The cavern maps seem alittle overstocked now ,but Overall: 4/5

    Yeah I know. I've realized better ways to get my map straightened out. This just makes me look like an average forger with good ideas :/
