Map Name: Up-Draft (was The Underground) Canvas Map: Forge World Last Updated: 3/6/12 Status: Complete, looking for advice on making it better. Screenshots: My screenshots are on Imgur. Heres a link to the album: Album Description: Up-draft is a symmetrical map built for those smaller lobbies of 2-6 people and works well with the gametypes assosiated in team doubles. due to a lack of power weapons like the shotgun, sword, and rocket this map makes you rely on your skill over that of another player. The only power weapon on this map is a grenade launcher. The Plasma Coils where placed with the idea in mind to blind opponents not to kill them but its a nice side-effect. Other Notes: This map was originally called "The Underground". I changed it to Up-Draft to signify the upwards motion of the map. I was told the flat ceiling and grey walls where bothering those that played the map so i asked my friend and forging buddy neonzypher7 to come in and try to add some color to the walls. together we added the rock blocked door ways, and the decorations on the bottom floor walls. I removed the ceiling and expanded the top floor out a little ways.People got annoyed with teleporter camping so i decided to prevent this, so as soon as you go through the teleporter your ejected from the exit preventing anyone from assassination camping it. I have put alot of effort into this map to try and make things right and make as little spawn trapping as possible. Budget Remaining: roughly $1500 Overall performance: No Z-Fighting that i have found. Split Screen Framerate Rating: hasnt been tested yet. Weapons placed on the map: 2x DMR 2x NR 2x Needler 2x Spiker 2x Plasma Rifle 2x Plasma Pistol 2x Magnum 2x Frag Nade 2x Plasma nade 1x Grenade Launcher Under both bases is a hallway with a teleporter in it allowing quick access to the second floor.

The only thing I don't like is the braces in the middle pillar. I just feel like something better could be done there, and that it looks a little... rushed.
the middle structure i didnt really try to rush. since it as originally a closed map the braces looked fine but there was just the lower ones the ones that connect at the top hadnt existed. I kept trying to think of a good middle structure that didnt comprimise gameplay around the top or effect any other areas of the map. the secondary gravlifts actually use a total of 2 braces used to give you an alterior way up to the second floor. If you have any ideas for a new middle structure let me know if its in the budget ill try and make it a bit beter.
