Flying Saucers

I used two watchtower bases to make each saucer, in the indentation on the saucer’s top watchtower base I put three power cores, on the bottom indentation is a grav lift which pushes out the fusion coils. The explosion from the three power cores up top destroys the grav lift on the bottom.

It’s pretty interesting how all the forge pieces on Avalanche just happened to combine in such a way that I was able to make this map. Like, if the watchtower base was just a plain disk and not a disk with an indented ramp I wouldn’t have had anywhere to put the power cores or the grav lift/fusion coil firing mechanism.

And without the two different kinds of explosives (fusion coils and power cores) I wouldn’t have been able to give the saucers an explosive weak point. If I had fusion coils on top of the saucer instead of power cores, then the explosion of the saucer’s weak point would throw off the spawn times for the other fusion coils, messing up the firing of the rest of the saucers.

The game's win condition is located under the saucer, like a territory or a flag or something. Try to go under there without first disabling the nearby saucer and you'll get blasted.

The variant I had in mind when making his was just a simple territories game (with capture time moved down to 20 seconds). But I moved every kind of objective under the saucers. So you could play capture the flag with big UFOs protecting each team's flag, or a VIP game where you have to disable the hovering UFO before your VIP can pass through the corresponding goal marker. Play whatever you want.

And to everybody who likes the map, thanks for the compliments. To everyone else, I don’t know…thanks for not shanking me in the forge hub parking lot.

 

looks very interesting

 

personally i like competitive maps more thsese are usually unbalanced
looks good though

 

Really cool but might i sujust a banshee or some other Covenant vehicle to be launch from the saucers

 

the map amazing. luv the whole idea of a flyin sauce. r u thinkin of makin V2??? love the forgin and interlockin and just the whole map

 

im agreeing with fly here not to been mean but i really dont think this map should have been featured i mean its cool 4/5 but i would say there are cooler maps around that havent been featured that should

 

I download this and play land grab it so fun with all my friends. Just try it

 

I love this idea! UFO FTW

 

This is a very creative map with the saucers shooting there bombs and all that stuff.

 

dude this looks so cool

 

i think he just needs to add a little more action

 

these look like the flying sausers are from the old movies

 

Not Even Close to Being The Best Map.

 

dude i agree stuff has not gotten better and i probably wont!

 

Guys later you'll have more action because this isn't even the last map pack, ther coming out with Heroic map pack 2 later this year.

 

wow the most oraginnally designed maps ive ever played

 

Eh, this map isn't that amazing. I mean, it's a cool concept and all, but nothing that "WOW"'s me.

 

Nice looks awesome, I'm going to have to try this. The UFO saucers look very good, lol reminds me of destroy all humans, picking up cows and throwing them miles.

 

this map is so sweet i love it

 

yeah, i dont really think this deserved to get featured. its a good map and all, but nothing about it "Wows" me. 3.5/5 for me
