Sniper Town Created by KITTY girl x Map Description I based my map in a small quiet town when all hell breaks loose and people start fighting amongst each other. You have only a sniper rifle equipped and you can jump from roof top to roof top using spawns and gravlifts. There are a lot of hiding spots in sniper town so camping is a must. The town is home sweet home so make yourself comfortable so you can make kills and hunt down your prey with precise scoping. Obstacles will keep you entertained as well as your long range sniping skills. So pick a house and stay safe. You might just wonder why a small quiet town has gone mad... THIS IS THE SHORT STORY OF THE MAP. Spoiler Will your curiosity be satisfied by finding out why the small town went mad? To make a long long story short it starts off with a young pretty girl living her life in her town. It was a same old day like any other day she decided to take a walk by the small beach and she stood on the boat dock. While she stood there she peered out to see her friendly neighbors unloading cargo like usual and she waved to the boat captain and the boat captain waved back at her and as she watched some of the cargo go by something caught her eye something odd was in the cargo it glowed a strange blue color it was something she had never seen before. She had a lot of questions about it. So she decides to ask the boat captain about it. He was standing at the dock when she came up and said “what was that? There were weird sounds coming from it and I have never seen that type of energy before?” and the captain said “You weren't supposed to see that. It shouldn't concern you.” So she decided to investigate more about it by following it to its destination at the general store. So she decided to go into the store and talk to the store keeper. She watched the store keeper sign off all the cargo that had come in. Then she asked the store keeper “what is that?” "That is a plasma battery." the storekeeper said “This is the new delivery we got from the exotics. We usually get things from the exotics.” “But aren’t we at war with the exotics?” she said and the store keeper said “yes but even thow there is a war we still trade because these are hard times for both countries .” then she asked “what is it for then?” “It’s to replace the fusion container this is something new and cheaper that we are going to start using. It helps the mechanics power up the vehicles and for use to power our homes and the light house so our town can continue to survive.” “Thank you very much for telling me I have been wondering what it was since I saw it inside the cargo.” So she decided to go on home back to her cottage so she could start dinner before her papa came home. So she lights a fire inside the fire place and places a pot and starts cooking dinner. So she carries on threw out the day. Late at night she could not sleep so she decided to take a stroll through the town and as she was walking she waved to the bartender at the tequila bar. she always takes walks at nights when she can’t sleep because she loves gazing at the lighthouse and as she went she looked over and she saw the sea boat captain and he was hunched over in the corner of the boat talking out loud and he had some type of sword and he had it against another person and he was saying loudly “I don’t know why I want this but I can’t control myself.” And the other person said “please don’t please I have been working for you for many many years please I don’t know what I have done captain please.” And he said “You must die!” She saw this as she was standing at the dock looking at the boat And the captain stabbed the shiny sword right into his stomach and he pulled it out and as his first mates body fell to the floor he looked up and looked around he said “I must take out more people in this town they must die all of them must die!” Then the captain said “Wait a minute what’s wrong with me what have I done?!” and as he turned the sword around about to kill himself the madness takes him again and he says “I’m going to kill everybody in this town.” Then he climbs up into the crow’s nest with a sniper gun and he stayed up looking threw his scope threw out the night until the morning sunrise. As she sees all this she is frightened by this for she has known the boat captain for many years he was a nice guy. So she runs to see if she can tell someone about it and as she is running she sees the mechanic leaving the shop so she runs to him. But as she got close she noticed his hands were covered in oil, grease, and blood and he was just standing there staring at his hands and he says “I just killed my brother who works with me. What have I done!?” and he looks up at her and says” run hide before something happens to you. There’s something in the plasma batteries we were using them today to charge the engines on the vehicles. Their contaminated by something that makes use go crazy and he said” Go! Hide before I want to kill you. Yes I want to kill you!” and she runs into her cottage and she sees her papa and he’s holding a sword and he tells her “You need to go hide sweet pea now because I just killed the storekeeper because she killed the town’s mayor and I think I’m going to hurt you here’s a sniper rifle take it and go hide don’t let anyone know where you’re at. Defend yourself and stay safe for the town has gone mad.” She goes and climbs to the top of her house and she closes the flue on the top of the chimney and climbs inside of it and curls up holding her sniper rifle that her papa had given her and she closes her eyes and drifts of too asleep. The next morning she is awoken by people screaming at each other and shooting and sniping. She stood up with her gun and she peered over and saw that the town has truly gone mad. Blood was all over the place some were even shooting at her all she could do was defend herself. So she continued to shoot at everybody that shot at her. She was so scared but her papa had told her to defend herself so she must survive. As she was sniping she was trying to plot away for her to escape the town. Maybe she could jump behind her house and run but to where there was nothing out there but the woods. She was stuck amongst her own people that she so dearly loved as they tried to kill each other and her. Then it happened a bullet pierces her head and she dies. This is the story of the final stand of that girl.

Tl;DR on that big huge story, those only really make sense for campaigns. You have some neat details and aesthetics inside the houses, but in a map that is supposed to focus solely on sniper gameplay, why make so many details inside the buildings when most of the gameplay should be taking place outside? I'd also like to point out that using buildings is an easy way to just make a structure, but the pieces often don't fit into maps quite right, and won't help make the map that much more unique. There are a couple of cool spots to snipe and that boat is very nice looking, but sniper maps shouldn't focus on making camp spots but more lines of sight, creating and blocking them off. That cottage looks really unbalanced, all you have to do is duck when not taking a shot and you're in cover. You can see a majority of the map from up there and only one person can be there at a time because of the one way teleporter. The huge story and the 7 minute long video play out a really small map. More time should be put into making your next map balanced, clean and unique and less time on a back story. That being said I'd love to see some more maps by you, don't be discouraged by my criticisms I just would like to help you improve your forges.
Thank you very much this my first forge map i posted. Atleast try the game with people before you criticise. Once you play you will see there is no place of power not even on top of that cottage. One wont last but a couple seconds up there with people in the game. please Try the map then give me your criticism thank you for your help so i can make a better map to your liking.
Lol, I remember playing in that a few months ago. By the way, If I remember right, I really liked your overall aesthetic to the map and stuff. I must also report that even with the teleports system, the map plays well in terms of Team Sniper variant. I found really funny the way that you changed the scale of the buildings giving like a Crazy feel to It. Good job for a first map as well. ;D
thank you very much your comment means alot to me. Im proud to be apart of forgehub. I have a few maps i have been working on they will be coming in a couple days. I updated sniper town since you last played it so you should try out the new sniper town. I played Blood bath bay and it was a really good game. I was amazed in all the obsticales you had and the view was breath taking.
Hey kitty its good to get your foot in the door as it were. The map seems fine but as fantastic noob brought up there are a few things in the overall presentation here that might help you out. These map threads are all about presentation, you are trying to sell your map to the public and like any product people will only take a quick glance and if they don't like what they're seeing quickly they won't give you a chance no matter the quality of your product. As FantasticNoob said the long story, while creative, is an unnecessary space hog. You could easily put that into a spoiler and say above the spoiler, "This is a short story to go a long with the plot for the map". Saying in big red letters, "you don't have to read beyond this point" is usually a good way to turn people off of looking at your map. Especially since you put your pictures and video below your short story. As far as the images go, as I said in the chatbox when you were asking about picture size, there is no "too big". The forum resizes images to fit within the frame and in fact the bigger the better usually as people can click on the image to see more detail. However when pictures are too small it makes it hard to make out the details in your pictures. I usually like to have one or two pictures that best show off my product front and center (after the description) and the rest of my pictures I put in well labeled spoilers so it doesn't clutter my map post and if people are interested in seeing the map more they have that option. Remember you want them clicking that download link not trying to figure out what is in your pictures or reading a story. Lastly the video, as Fantastic pointed out 7 minutes is a bit long. There are plenty of talented video editors would be be glad to edit together videos for you provided you ask them nicely first. If you don't want to go that route remember, you want to sell people on the map and doing that as quickly as possible is always better. Keep walkthroughs quick and show only was is important to get the gist of the map. You want people to download it to see it for themselves, if you're showing every nick and cranny in a video there is not much reason to download it.
thank you very much i wouldnt know what to do with out you. I didnt know how to make them bigger i used the imageshack uploader and no matter what size i wanted they all came out small so what should i do. Thank you very much for your valuable information so i can become a better forger.
