    Hey, this is my first map that ive put on Forge Hub so please comment etc.
    Ok, this is a map i made based on the Helms Deep scenario from Lord of the Rings. I've seen several maps like this on Foundry but i think that Avalanche is better suited. None of my friends have bought the Legendary map pack so the most ive played this with is 2. However it is meant for infection with 10 people min.

    Zombies
    The Uruk hai (zombies) start in the middle (where the ghost usually spawns). Half of the map is separated off to make the valley. Uruk hai have both grav hammers and swords. They have unlimited ammo but cannot pick up weapons. They also have increased gravity, speed and damage resistance.

    Humans
    Humans start just behind the wall. The humans have limited ammo, BR start but there are loads of weapons on the map including shotguns, sp’lasers and sniper rifles. There is nothing special about the humans but the last man standing gets increased damage resistance and attack.

    The Map
    The features of the map are:
    The main wall
    The destructible wall
    The bridge leading to the main gate
    The Keep
    The catacombs

    Events:
    After 30 seconds the ladders appear
    At 2 minutes wall is destroyed
    At 2 minutes 30 seconds weapons and blockades appear in the base (catacombs).

    Here are some pics. As mentioned above none of my friends have bought the Legendary map pack so these pictures aren't very action packed.

    The Uruk hai advance up the ladders...

    ...and break through the gate.

    The wall explodes (like in the film).

    [​IMG]
    There is a sniper rifle on the Keep.


    [​IMG]
    After breaking through the gate, the zombies come through the ice cave.

    [​IMG]
    The Humans retreat to the catacombs.

    The flamethrower is handy if you're the last man alive.

    Please comment to help me make improvements, i am aware it is not perfect!!

    Here is the game and map:

    Yer sure douthy 3000, welcome to forgehub btw I can understand the posts you have recieved arent so friendly but dont worry we are not all totaly ass's =]. I'm also pretty miffed that people have rated this thread a 1/5 rating people are becoming so nasty to newcomers and eventually there will be NO newcomers so people who feel the need to put your map down so much and rate it a 1/5 whilst' I highly doubt they have even tried your map out is infuriating. People need to understand you have exactly 24 hours from when this thread is started to fix it to meet the standards but some people demand the best from the new and its getting rather harsh nowadays its a shame because this is usually a nice community.

    Hey I see your having trouble embedding your images into your post, but dont worry here is a quick guide to fix this!
    Step 1. Access your Bungie.net screenshots that show your map & save them onto your computer.
    Step 2. Create an account on Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket (its completly free).
    Step 3. Sign into your newly created account.
    Step 4. Use the Browse feature to select the screenshot/s required. (making sure you are selecting the pictures from your computer).

    Step 5. Press Upload and wait untill the process is complete.
    Step 6. Use the IMG Code

    Another thing about these forums, dont listen to hardly any ones posts as they are from people you either know / Moderators or good critics because 85% of the time its people who post One line sentences to raise their post count so they can become "Cool" You seem like a nice feller lets hope your not that way too :)

    - You seem to have a good understanding of imovable / movable objects and floating items you sir are looking to be a promising forger.

    Heh this map is actually awesome looks fun. I like the explodable wall very unique.

    However to improve this I dearly hope you make a version 2 - Read through advanced forging techniques such as interlocking and geomerging I doubt you will need geomerging.

    You remind me of me when I started forge - The structures are nice but they can be improved so much more with interlocking If you need a hand with anything I have mentioned im here... more often then not...

    I'm sorry you received a harsh greeting, I'm also new and I understand that these people are unforgiving of new members, when the guy who said you were new only joined in May, he is also fairly new. I doubt he has posted any maps and he pretends like he is better than everyone else, I just would like to say excellent looking map, and I hope to try it out when I get home from work. I like the idea of exploding wall, It'd be nice to know how you do that! Well I guess I will see. Nice job, and welcome to forge hub!

    Nice pics, welcome to forgehub. I played a Helms Deep on Foundry that was very good, but limited in space, this one actually looks more entertaining. You need to try to neaten it up a little bit, but hey my maps were not perfect when i started. : )

    I love the map! I'll give you a 5/5 because you're new and this is something great for being new (I'm new too). Keep it up, and don't let any negative posts get you down. It's usually just from jealousy that people make bitter posts.
