Hey guys, I started yet another map the other day and liked the idea. I know what you're gunna say... And no, this is not Guardian or Lockout. It is however being created with the same style in mind. I'm trying to take elements from those maps rather than structures. Height variations, lines of sight, flow, and feel. It's a hard project to take on, considering how much thought and structure has to go into this. Especially since I can't just rip off things from the original maps. My plan is simple. Making a 4 base asymetrical map with interweaving pathways and jumps. Guardian and Lockout had two main spots to rely on. 1. Sniper towers, and 2. Opposite from snipe (Gold Lift & BR Tower). I plan on making this map have 4 general spots to rely on; Hopefully swapping up the flow of the original concept. I want my map to keep gameplay flowing in a circular direction rather than left to right. The way I'm planning it, is that cross map confrontations can occur whether you're atop sniper tower (Left) or in lift room. (Right) Anyway if you can't get what I'm trying to describe. Here's a picture of it so far. Update: This is the latest progress.
Dude, post some more pics! I love Guardian inspired stuff, and I need some inspiration for a future project of mine.
Guardian Inspired I just added two pictures, they don't show big changes but thats because I didn't want to put up pictures of my rough-forged parts of the map. So far I've been able to mix a general Lockout layout with Guardian feel while still keeping the map completely original. In my opinion anyway... I'll be updating with more pictures and comments when I have more parts of the map more cleanly forged rather than roughly layed out! Thanks!
