Hello all, and welcome to throne. This was in the making for about a month. I was only able to get a few games in for testing, thanks to some good friends. Its asymmetrical, with power weapons including concussion rifle, and grenade launcher. Blue team gets a camo and red gets an overshield. The camo and overshield do not spawn initially. After 3 minutes has passed they will spawn. I believe this made it more balanced, and made the map play better. Also, i stole stevo and tz's idea, so their are 6 hidden camping stools around the map. Theyre not so easy to find Here are the weapons. -6 dmr's - 69 seconds - 2 spare -2 Assault rifles - 69 seconds - 2 spare -1 Grenade launcher - 150 secs - 4 spare -1 concussion rifle - 150 secs - 1 spare -2 needle rifles - 69 seconds - 2 spare -2 needlers 69 seconds 1 spare -2 plasma rifles - 69 seconds -8 plasma grenades -4 frags -7 medkits Framerate is near flawless, since lights and tin cups have been removed. **** reading. heres pics.
hmm not quite sure why the throne is outdoor, im guessing your going for the jungle theme, i like the your smooth forging of the buildings well done. will give a test try later on.
Personally I am absolutely satisfied that this map has so much natural environment incorporated much like snowbound where most of the area's boundary's are represented by banks giving a more soft kill approached boundary. I really wish more forgers would do that still. The map in my opinion is so nice and neat. Very original with the throne and the little pillar structure out there. The center felt very close together and the back felt left open personally, not sure if you meant to do that but I believe it may need some rocks to help influence others to go into the area. Lots of neat structure use and seems like a great map.
Thanks! i thought it as a neat idea and it made them more noticable. Thanks for the feedback. I just wanted it to look natural and stuff, so it may look a bit awk. thanks for dling Thanks, i did want a snowboundish feel to it, you could say. i thought the outdoor structures looked kinda neat so i added them . Ya i did want back open, and the center kinda close together. I added as much rocks as i could but i ran out. Thanks for the feedback
I love this map and it really has a unique feel to it. I really dont get the comparisons to Snowbound though, lol guys.. =/ The only similarity is the barrier of the map which is similar and gives the map a more open feel which I like. I personally like the more open feel than just the typical Colliseum walls that everyone uses to enclose a map.. But overall i think the map is very cleanly forged and on the game that I playtested on,i had a really good time with it and found the map easy to understand and to navigate. Also diggin the "telepack" thing as well and the weapon placement is balanced and well thought out also. But im assuming that you really DONT like power weapons... because the Concussion rifle is the middle power weapon and the respawn 150 and 1 spare clip is a little harsh IMO,I dont know about you,but i dont remember the last time that I beasted it up or even got more than 1 or 2 kills in a row with the concussion rifle.. But its really not a big deal,but I just assumed that the weapon located at the "Throne" would be more worthwhile of rushing. Quite honestly I would never go out of my way to get a Conc. rifle. Just a small gripe on a really great map,but I would really try to replace it with something like a plasma launcher or maybe Rockets with 0 spare clips? Just saying,that would be at least worthwhile to rush out and grab. Very good map overall,keep up the great forging!! Looking forward to seeing more good maps from you in the future!!
Thanks for all your feedback! I know the concussion rifle and grenade launchers were a tad underpowered, but 1v1 and 2v2 on this played good. Anything more powerful wouldnt be fun since their is an overshield and active camo along with the concussion and grenade launcher. You cant have to much power in a 1v1 or 2v2 or the map just becomes unfun, since people are rarely using their dmr's or ar's. I guess it just didnt feel like enough when we played on it together, since we played a 4v4, but i agree with your statement. I guess a plasma launcher could have worked but i guess i just had the concussion rifle in my mind. Im glad you like it and how it played.
