Frontlines

Frontlines V2
Created by l HOFF l

MAP SUMMARY:
(the map is inescapable)

Frontlines is a symmetrical map made on Foundry. There is one base in each corner, and two in the middle of the map across from each other.

There is a roof to each of the corner bases, with two ways up. One way is from the bottom floor and jumping from the dumpster up to the roof. Or you can jump on the wire spools from the outside onto the roof.

There are two different corner bases, a base you have to crouch jump to get into, and one you have to crouch down to get into. Both sides have both bases and are mirrors of each other. ( If this is confusing look down at the pictures.

On the roof on the crouch bases there is a battle rifle. And in the bottom floor are two plasma grenades.

On the roof of the crouch jump bases there is a carbine. And on the bottom floor, two frag grenades.

In between the corner bases on either side, (Side A to Side A, for
example ) are two wall corners which are there to provide cover. In between the wall corners is a mauler and two flame grenades.

In the middle of the map towards Foundry's built in wall, is the rocket bunker. Underneath the rocket bunker, in the open box, are the rockets. If you go up the bridge you go up into the bunker itself. Use the bunker wisely, there's only one way in, but only one way out.

Opposing the rocket bunker is the sniper tower/sword room. The sniper spawns on the forged wall directly between the Side A and Side B. And is located at the end of the ramp up to the sniper tower.

Underneath the sniper tower is the sword room. Again, there is only one way into the sword room, and only one way out. But if you try to camp the room you may run into problems, as grenades can come through the window panels, or can be bounced in over the shield door.

SIDE NOTE:
Interlocking and merging with map geometry was used in the making of this map. This is version two of the map, the previous version was made before either of these tricks were discovered if you wish to play version one it is on my fileshare.

Thank you.

 

Thanks for all the positive comments. Leave comments after playing/forging through the map also please.

 

The mount weapon trick is where you merge a weapon holder into a wall or any other immovable object, so it looks as if the weapon is mounted on the wall. I found the tutorial somewhere on forgehub.

And I am sure the map is inescapable all the walls are stacked on top of each other to the height barrier.

 

In some spots it is open, but I wouldn't say its too open. I think it is fine the way it is.

 

Hmm I don't see the picture you are talking about.

Thanks for the complements.

As for the window panels, I could not get them to not stick out of the bridges. But you don't get stuck on them, and there is little to no bump at all.

Thanks for the review I put a lot of time into this map and I appreciate it.

 

I agree with you, but I'm not a pro forger.

Regardless, thanks for the comment.

 

Thank you. Yeah everyone hates campers.
