    Overview

    Since everyone’s down with pictures, I’ll keep this post nice and short. Fallback is a 4v4 asymmetrical map that suits a few different game-types. My goal was to keep it clean and simple with aesthetics and block out some of the long lines of sight I had created earlier in the stages of building Fallback. The layout is rather simple also. Both teams have an equal chance at power weapons. I designed a few spots on the map to holdout in infection, but the map works for Slayer and other game-types. Not much more I can say… Enjoy and Test! Thanks everyone. And Special thanks to Shikarix for helping me with the overview picture.

    Weapon And Equipment List

    DMR x4 (45 second respawn + 3 spare clips)
    Magnum x2 (30 second respawn + 2 spare clips)
    Sniper x2 (180 second respawn + 1 spare clips)
    Plasma Pistol x1(30 second respawn + 2 spare clips)
    Assault Rifle x2 (45 second respawn + 2 spare clips)
    Shotgun x1 (90 second respawn + 0 spare clips)
    Grenade Launcher x1 (120 second respawn + 3 spare clips)
    Frag Grenade x4 (10 second respawn)
    Plasma Grenade x4 (10 second respawn)
    Health Station x2 (15 second respawn)

    This looks like a very cleanly forged map I love the aesthetics you have use my only real request is to maybe add some more sight blockers and next time try not to put health packs on the windows because it looks unappealing. But I really do think this is a great map

    I'm not sure asymmetric is correct. From the top down view it looks like one side mirrors the other. Sure, you don't have rotational symmetry like you do in such maps as Warlock or Derelict... but a map where one side is the reverse of the other should be called symmetric.

    But, I'll give you that green and orange look like they have vastly different spawning locations (a la Gemini?).


    It looks very cleanly forged. But, from the pics you've provided, it looks like there's a dearth of cover. Every room looks really open with long sight lines left unbroken. that could be deceptive however. I'll have to download and see for myself.

    Your right, it's symmetric.. My bad.
    As for cover there is limited cover to keep people moving. Kinda MLG style. I do feel I've blocked off the bad Los's. Judge for yourself though, take a look around. You pretty much have to enter any given room to see who's in there. It's fast paced. No cover. thanks for the fdback.

    I never got a game on this, but from this map, I can see your forging style just coming from this map. I enjoyed having a tour in forge on this map, the small vents are unique, and all the little detail you put into this really shows.
