    RUBY

    [​IMG]

    Ruby is an asymmetrical 2v2/3v3 map I have been working on for the past two weeks. So far the power weapons on the map are a neutral ghost, sniper, and grenade launcher. There is not much to say about Ruby other than I view it as Clover's little brother, just different color and different gameplay. I am currently setting up spawns and weapons and will probably be testing during the weekend, as always I am looking for anyone that would be willing to test my map. You can send me a message or friend request (GT: X2Sora) if you wish to help test. Well before I begin to clutter this post with anymore words here are some more pictures, and before I forget special thanks to Sinless and Hiddenwater for helping out with the map.

    Here is a (crappy) overview of the map.

    UPDATE:

    After a few tests on the map I have already made some changes to the map. First off I have angled the ghost towards sniper spawn so that it has more room to maneuver. I have also relocated sniper all the way to the back of the map, and have placed grenade launcher where the sniper once was. I have also made some changes to the map aesthetically here and there. Here are some pics of the changes I made

    Well thanks for viewing my map preview all comments and feedback are appreciated.

    Really looks great sora, i like the little ramp elevations and the ghost spawn especially. Good job on the original theme of the map aswell. I'll add you for testing because i would like to see how this plays.

    Looks like a solid map, I would downoad if it was finished. My only complaint is that your pictures are very close to the ground and there is no birds eye view. This makes it very hard to picture an overall image of the map.

    I like the looks of this. Theres some unique piece combinations that I haven't seen before. I especially love the way the area pictured in the turret spawn picture looks. I'd love to get in on some test games on this, but if not, I'll definitely be looking forward to its release.

    I have made some changes to the map after having played a few test games. You can see and read all the changes I made to the map in the update section. Progress wise I am still tweaking spawns and finalizing weapons, and will be testing the map later today. If anyone wants to be invited just send me a message or friend request and I will make sure to invite you.

    Just had a game with sora on this, really like the idea of having one vehicle in the game which people fight over and it worked well. You've also got some great little forging touches such as the little curved platform shown in the last pic. However, the map itself whilst being very well forged doesn't gel that well and the different parts of the map seem unconnected from each other. There also doesnt seem to be that many weapons, many i just didnt find them. So either put more on or make them easier to find. Overall, really liked the map and with a few adjustments it could be great.

    Visually this map looks superb, Structurally this map seems simple, yet very fun. I would love a game on this sometime. Also, I like te neutral Ghost, seems like it's not too powerful and can yet still be quite effective in battle.

    @ oh knarly - Thanks for the feedback it is appreciated. The reason you couldn't really find any weapons on the map is because I haven't really placed any weapons outside of the power weapons. I'll be finalizing the weapon list this weekend. As for the map being disconnected I understand where you are coming from, I want to make it more connected especially on the outskirts, but if I do the ghost has less room to maneuver. I might just replace it with over shield.

    @ xAudienceofone - Thanks man I will make sure to invite you the next time I am testing.
