    Hey guys, I haven't posted a map in a while, and with good intentions. I've been brushing up on my forging skills, getting allot of unfinished maps finished. Far-Lands, is my latest project, that I have been working on in the lands of forge world. It seems to me by far my most professional map that I have made with ease, mainly because most other maps take me days to finish, this took me a day, and then the next day I finished up spawns and excess problems.

    I'm still in need of testers so I will probably post this to the testers guild or to the review hub, just for some feedback, I'd love to hear what you think, if you could give it a download. I wanted to make this map multiplayer friendly, meaning I can set it up for all sorts of variants but I don't want to just yet until I've had some feedback. so for now it's set up for All slayer variants, and Infection.

    There are kill boundaries and soft safe areas and spawning properties of such that I think I have set up properly to stop camping and the likelihood of people getting outside the map.
    The map contains three power weapons consisting of a Shotgun, Rocket-Launcher and a n Energy Sword. The shotgun and energy sword did seem a bit risky at first but the original placement instead of the energy sword, the focus rifle, looked as if it was going to cause trouble for players. Here are some screenshots of the power weapon placements - [​IMG] That's the rocket launcher, and one of the many health pack spawns.

    [​IMG] medium this image may be hard to tell, but if you look closely by the back of the rock surface there is a podium ontop of which the Energy Sword stands.

    [​IMG] medium once again hard to tell but look at the left side of the photo, on what seems to be the opposite side to the tree, the podium, just behind it has the diagonal cut out platform for the Shotgun.

    Healthpacks are placed around for where most likely needed, so far I've had about 5 games on this with friends, none of which were infection, so I really am in need of playtesters, Here is one last image which may be useful for anybody, it's an overview of the map layout - [​IMG]

    Thanks for reading, please do download and have a look around the map, I would really like to get some feedback and critiques on what to do better :) thankyou :).

    You shouldn't have posted this here if you are still in need of testers, besides you can't get the Testers guild to test posted map, they only test NON-posted maps.

    The map looks a little small, and a bit open. I'd suggest maybe adding a few rooms and expanding it, but I really like the use of corner walls and trees.

    This looks like it could be a really fun 2v2 map if it had some more cover.

    *looks at post count*
