    GOGERA



    Hello Welcome to my Second map since rembering my old username, my third since returning, and the first in a map pack i have been working for a while on and have finally finished. This map is the crown jewel and is to the point fin and awesome.​

    So getting down to it Gogera is a symmetrical team slayer map in the air over the water near the lagoon, gameplay is very fast based and combat moves all across the map so there are no big choke points. It has around 3 to 4 levels (excluding the torn path). The center of the map is the lowest part, with a teleporter leading up to the sniper tower, a couple circle shaped platforms one holding the energy sword, and a small tunnel with a gravlift that raises you to the outermost layer. The sniper spawns on the highest part of the map at the back part of the map, along with a teleporter down to the center area. There is a Giant monster from witch the map is named at the mid level of the map on the upper most border, Gogera is tearing off the piece of bridge where the rocket spawns. ​

    Weapons:
    1-Rocket Launcher
    1-Sniper Rifle
    4-DMRs
    2-Needle Rifles
    1-Concussion Rifle
    1-Energy Sword
    2-Plasma Pistols​

    I too think the dragon is a very nice touch. I also really like the use of corner walls as a structure covering. But perhaps the best part is the broken bridge, very cool! A couple things I noticed though is that the two long walkways have good cover on the sides but not from the ends, its a long way to walk without a whole lot of cover. Also this is a bit nitpicky, but the structures in the middle seem a little out of place next to each other. I feel it would look better if they were opposite from the similar structure. Also there doesn't seem to be a lot of respawns or any respawn zones. All in all a great looking map that with some minor adjustments could easily become a favorite!

    Very nice! I like the structures around the middle, and the dragon is a neat touch. This is just my opinion, but I think that the dish pieces are not very good in maps but your map made it work!

    This map has a lot of creativity. I really love that dragon you put in, it looks awesome. However, I'm not to particular of rock/grass "gardens". They're over-used and not really that creative anymore. Try to come up with a better way to use tin cups. Overall, you have a nice layout and that dragon destroying the bridge is really just...awesome. Keep coming up with ideas like this, you could really make competitive maps more interesting with your creativity.

    Dragon.. Fun and awesome. I really like you there are a multitude of paths and jumps to this map without any real big camp spots. I vote you make a way to reach the mouth of the dragon for an additional sniper spot (like he really needs a tounge).

    Loving that monster, however I believe that there are a lot of power weapons compared to non-power weapons. Perhaps add some more weapons in (they don't have to be that powerful) to influence people's decisions of where to run to in the map.

    But overall a nice looking map. Just a few adjustments needed, in my opinion, for it to become really great.

    I encountered that issus while testing the map, so for example i made the rocket only have 2 shots and the respawn time be around 150. But i do understand what you are saying.

    I thought the map was very well made, the monster is pretty awesome, and I love how it is crippling the bridge with its almighty grip of doom. Nice combat areas, and not to many power weapons. I did have a problem with the sniper being pretty much a focal point on the map, which one team can generally control, but a great map overall.

    first off I love the creature thing...its amazing aesthetically...now that thats over...the map does have some nice poitns besides the creature but that doesnt cover up the simplcity of the map and the fact that it lacks cover for the most part...the layout and the weapons are good but the map has almost no real cover which is a problem...

    That is some damn, cool ass dragon! Okay, but some feedback I have about the map:

    Taking a look at the overview pic, it looks like the top and second floor could use some cover. It has cover on the edge of the platform, which is good, but nothing is really on the center of the pathways. This would be good because if you're caught off guard, battling a player on the same level as you (or higher than you), then you can at least prepare behind some cover. Other then that, the map is very cool and creative!

    Yah i had an issue with making a lot of cover on the top floors because there so narrow, but ive tested it out quite a bit and it dosent seem to be too much of an issue, because its very fast pased and moves very fast ther isint realy time to pick some one off across the top like that. But thankt for the comment.

    You know its actually "Gojira", right?

    The map is nicely layed out, but I'd have preferred to see something less flat and 2D.

    Creature is awesome and very creative on how it's incorporated. I'll have to DL it to see the mechanics of it all. I would say it seems a little too open just from the pictures and that the sniper tower is aesthetically weak (but I'm sure that's just because the 'Gogera' is beast). Otherwise, again, it looks awesome.

    Its actuly not Gojira because its not Godzilla, its Gogera. I think i understand what you mean by 2D and flat.

    WOW! I never expected to find a map on Forgehub with this amount of ORIGINAL aesthetics such as the dragon breaking the bridge and the sniper tower, i am impressed!

    I'm downloading this map definately because the aesthetics are great and if gameplay is also good, i will dub this as the perfect map and thnk it should be put into matchmaking!

    Also, check out my latest map MLG Fusion v1 you might like it =]
