    Description

    Hello Forgehub, I am here to present my new map Hardshore. Hardshore is a small, symmetrical map made for 2v2’s and free for all matches. Hardshore is a harbor styled map that is by the water. It includes a lighthouse and a sailboat, which is outside the map. I focused on aesthetics, but mostly on the gameplay. It took me a while to make the spawns to work well, and I mixed around guns and clip sizes. Overall, I think this map’s gameplay is at it highest potential. Hope you agree!

    The two power weapons on the map, is a grenade launcher and a sniper, with the dropshield in the middle. It supports four major gametypes as shown above. The two larger bases on each end, are red and blue spawn buildings, and include each team’s flags for CTF. In infection, the lighthouse illuminates the harbor. If you stand in the changing light beam, it acts as a safe area. The pictures can explain a little more than I can, so enjoy!

    Special Thanks

    I owe a special thanks to all who helped me with the map. EightBall, for all the help with some aesthetics and some structural ideas. ArcticHunter, for giving me great ideas about the layout and for some gun/gun placement ideas. And Values, for telling me the map completely sucked (which made me overhaul the map completely into what it is now) Also, a great thanks to all who helped test the map and gave me some great feedback. Thanks again, couldn’t be here without you guys.

    Lolol, thanks for the credit for telling you how bad you are (;
    This is a great map. Ideal for a great fast paced 2v2 or a decent higher paced 1v1. I enjoyed playing 1v1 on the map even though I'd scrape you (pr0). I highly suggest downloading this map for small parties and an overall good time.

    Well, I have to say that the lighthouse made me orgasm..Just sayin..This map is insane, the theme you have going is so creative and really unique. There are many height variations which makes gameplay intense. Spawning was made to perfection and the weapon placment was superb. It was fun testing this map, that's for sure. Great work Jackson. You might want to change your thuumbnail IMG, it's kind of blurry.


    PS: I love the sailboat ;)

    this is a really unique map, i like how you incorporated the idea of the lighthouse shining the light for havens and what not. i will dl and try out soon. one thing though, how did you make the light house? cuz' it looks like its made out of ramp circulars, although the door/ arch thing on the side of it looks pretty big when compared to the size of the lighthouse. plus, it looks like column edges were merged in, although they are puny when compared to the size of the ramps.
