Sea-Sick Swordbase Weapons: 3x Dmrs 2x Needle Rifles 1x Sniper 1x Grenade Launcher 4x Plasma Grenades Description: "Not really." This map started out with the idea of slanting an entire map 15 degrees to one side. Coincidentally, it resembled something like Swordbase. This is not meant to be a Swordbase re-imagination, there are way better ones out there. This was an idea that took off and then abandoned. I have more map recently made that I wish to post, but I don't want to let this one go to waste. So to get this out of the way, I present Sea-Sick Swordbase. Pictures: See that floor down there? Marcass came up with it. He's a f*cking genius! Warning: Frame-rate alert Sniper had a lot of traffic. I wonder why. Blue lobby looking clean as ever. Fun fact: There used to be a concussion rifle in this room. That cave wasn't there before. Blue spawn. How comforting. Almost forgot, Squidman made those smexy looking tables and chairs(he didn't have much to work with). Red spawn, getting the short end of the stick. Right under sniper. Not a happy place. Lift to attic. CONVENIENT! Something to show you how much I feel for this map. Now, I'm done with this!
Well the name is, for lack of a better word, terrible. Luckily the map actually looks pretty good. It's nice that you were able to add some aesthetics like tables and chairs, something absent from most sword Base style maps. It's hard to tell much about the layout from the screenshots, but this certainly looks decent overall. Anyways, you didn't really specify a player count or certain gametypes to play the map with, but whatever.
I could really care less for this map. I was going to think of an actual name before, but I lost interest all together. And thanks for the feedback. I don't know, depends on what side of the planet you're on.
I love the concept, even though it's been done before, but with yours you tried to keep some flat ground, unlike others where they build everything on one same angle. Basically, this map looks very good and I like your attempt with the concept I stated earlier. I'll have to DL on my free time.
Muahahhahahaa the name stuck!. lol. i thought this map was a lot of fun when we tested it. i love how you used my floor design in the middle, and didnt give me recognition in the post. just kiding. i too am a fan of the 15 degree angle concept. changes up the feel of the game. EDIT: yay im in a post! lol..
I do not see why you push yourself down with this map. There is a lot to say about it in a positive way. Yeah, there is frame rate, but that is not my concern. My concern is how I always want to tilt my head when seeing this map. So dang happy with the aesthetics, they're fresh and unique. The angle is pretty sweet, love the height variation, and definitively like how it is larger than most maps. Too many 1v1 and 2v2 maps and this is my style. I am not much of a fan of the number of weapons, could use a few plasma repeater or something but it works. It's a good map dude, don't push down as if it isn't.
Were you trying to make a map even worse than Sword Base? Because even creating the map at a strange angle, it still didn't work. And because it looks so much like Sword Base and people have been doing this so many times lately, I won't be downloading this even though you are a very good forger. Or at least not yet. If you invite me to your game and force me to play on this map, I think it might actually work out.
The thing is, the fact that this looks like Sword Base is a coincidence. A slanted map is all tried to accomplish. It ended up as a vertical map and in turn, had some resemblance to Sword Base. But, I don't care enough for this map.
how did I miss this post Career? I'm glad that you stayed true to your word, and posted under this name; that makes me smile. Anyways, I love the way that map looks, and a very interesting concept for its time. Sucks that there is FR drop on this map, but overall I enjoyed this map. I know you are not insanely proud of it, but think of this as a stepping stone towards Mercury and your latest work. Either way, this map is still better than half the maps that are posted! Great job man!
I agree. And it looks a bit too similar to commons, don't you think? Almost to the point where you could take it for an edit. BWhahahhahah. I love you, Bloodgulch.
I can't imaging this map any better... The architecture is outstanding. I cold see this in SEVERAL playlists, no doubt
