Curve

Curve

Hello and welcome,
This is my latest map named Curve.
It is an inversely symmetrical competitive map that has a lot of height differentiation, creating interesting battles.
The map currently works for all slayer and oddball game types, but this can be changed. The map has taken me a long time to create and set up.
There is only one power weapon on this map, the highly contested Sniper Rifle. Don’t worry about snipers camping; to be honest at the moment they rarely make it out it’s spawn. There are also two Evade loadouts and two Magnums for Zero Bloom game types.
Curve works fine for default settings but I prefer Classic setting on it, so there is no AA’s except the Evade pick ups, making them more crucial to control. Jet packs would probably make this map less interesting, as there are a lot of height changes.


Anyway, on to the pictures:

Load out camera, featuring the map’s namesake, those sexy curves, lol. You may be able to see the sniper rifle in the bottom middle of the map there. The small platform above it has a hole so you can see it and drop down. These central pillars also act as brilliant Line Of Sight blockers.

^
Another view of the centre, but from red side. You can see the top central platform with sniper drop down. As one curve goes up, the other goes down. They act as natural sight blockers and encourage players to move around the map.

^
A Spartan eye view of the centre. This is one of two of the highest points of the map. The other being opposite it. The brace directly to the right of this player is the exit from a lift made of one way shield doors. You’ll notice many Covenant scenery placed throughout the map, to add both cover and colour.


^
Here is the red base, blue is the same. Not much here, so the players will have to compete for power weapons with there enemies rather than there teammates.

^
Image the curves as the letter ‘H’ with the sniper being in the centre. Well these parts are like this –H– coming of off them.

^
Rooms at either side of that ‘H’ contain the Evade load out on top of the crate and the Magnums. (These act as power weapon in Zero Bloom)

^
How these side rooms and the pathways off the centre connect. Double Evade of the Grav lift and covenant crate down to sniper = win.

^
View of the side rooms from the centre.

The outside corridors of the map. Go to the right for the centre; go to the left for the Evade and Magnum in the one of the two opposing side rooms.

You may remember me from my map ‘Factory’ which I posted ages ago. Just so you know...

I must say I likes the first screenshot quite a bit! This looks both very clean and also has an original feel. Nice job, I wouldn't mind playing a few games here. The only issue I see for now is that on top of the curves there are very long lines of sight.
Thanks alot
I see what you mean though I think the lack of power weapons and cover in that area should deter players from camping there.

It seems balanced out with the sniper and evades both being on the bottom though so there shouldn't be much trouble.
Indeed. Thanks for the comment

It looks so good, I almost didn't notice that the canvas map says Anchor 9. The aesthetics are near perfect, and gameplay seems pretty good, but some LoSs might be too open.
Oh yeah thanks, *now changed*

see curves in a forge map is alyays refreshing and this idea fix perfect.
he atmosphere of the map looks very open but for that reason te curve corridors are so importants.
Thank you very much Yeah, it was interesting to try out curves.
