    Block Fort was originally in the Nintendo 64 game, Mario Kart 64. It eventually made its way back on the DS, but didn't make that much of a bang. That's why I've decided to remake the map with lots of help from my friend MongeTenkaihen. Sorry for the description, I forgot to change it and was too lazy to change it.

    This map creates a more fun way to play all gametypes, but still gives Mario Kart veterans a familiar setting with the map. The map is set up to be horizontally and vertically symmetrical*. This game is perfect for Multi-team slayer, preferably 2v2v2v2. The recommended number of players are 2-12. The map is set up for all gametypes. My friend MongeTenkaihen also helped me on the spawn points, so chances are you will NOT be spawn camped in this game.

    Recommended Gametypes:Slayer, FFA Shotty Snipers, SWAT, CTF, and Territories.

    Weapons
    -Battle Rifle x12
    -Brute Shot x4
    -Carbine x8
    -Needler x4
    -Plasma Rifle x4
    -Rocket Launcher x1
    -Shotgun x4
    -SMG x4
    -Sniper Rifle x4
    -Spiker x4

    Equipment
    -Frag Grenade x8
    -Plasma Grenade x8
    -Power Drainer x4
    -Bubble Shield x2
    -Regenerator x2

    Vehicles
    -Mongoose x4

    Nice
    I like how you didn't copy it but reimagined it. You added mongooses and other thigs t make it your own and thats why you have my download.

    No way! I was making the same map! But I got about halfway through the actual building process and then figured out I had messed something up so I abandoned my efforts. :( Anyway this is a sweet map and I congratulate you on a job well done. As an avid Mario Kart fan (I've owned all of the Mario Karts) the only problem I have with this map is that the ramp to the top of each fort isn't totally right. I don't know if you have enough objects left but if you do you should make it so poeple can't drive under that ramp. Otherwise kudos on a great map and you have my download.

    Ya, that's what I was thinking.
    It's an original idea, but also a great remake.
    Wow, I can't believe how long it's been since I've played Mario Kart 64...

    Looks like almost an exact remake I loved that map on mario kart.

    Great Job.

    I'll download and see what the game play is like.

    The Overshields and teleporters are for the colors of each "Block." I can't color the boxes themselves, so I had to just leave colors on the corners of the map, so people will know where to go. If you get lost, look at your Xbox 360 controller. That's how the colors are set up.

    __Y
    X __B
    __A

    In Mario Kart 64/DS, red and blue were touching each other, so I swapped blue with yellow so there would be more exciting CTF and Team games.

    Well, I thought about putting it into casual, but all of my friends prefer to play King of The Hill and Free For All: Shotty Snipers. I think this map plays far from casual. Like every Mario Kart game, the game itself looks casual and nice to attract younger audiences, but everyone plays it hardcore. I've never known anyone that pops in Mario Kart to relax.

    I wish I had originality. I just remake maps because I don't know what to make, but I'm an experienced forger. I even bought Halo 3 just to forge.

    EDIT:
    You beat me to it.

    yo, you should support a racing combat game with mongooses cause of the whole mario cart thin
    like 2 person VIP and you have to kill the other people on the mongooses by throwing nades and you only get a few lives, like 2 or 3

    it would be fun

    Its a really good map, although by my opinion it is overdosed with power weapons.

    This is the kind of map I like to download. That's originality. I'm very impressed, bro. Maybe my Mario Kart bias heavily affected my decision to download, but I consider that to be irrelevant. I have two questions, though.

    Did you block off the back of Foundry? ###ANSWERED###

    Did you set it up for every gametype?



    So, I'll be looking for an answer, and I'll be checking out your map promptly. Great job, bro!

    1.Yes

    Also thanks, it took my friend and I 2 weeks. We had to re-do it because we ran out of boxes, and the forts were too big. We had to re-do it about 3 times.

    I wanted to keep the maps symmetrical, so I had to use 4 for each of the big weapons, except rockets. I added the more powerful weapons at the top so people would use all of the map. I wouldn't want to make the map a game where everyone stays at the bottom of the map. I wanted to make it that people would risk going to the top to grab that sniper, or grab the brute shot. The rocket laucher spawns every 180 seconds, and it's there mainly so people would take that mongoose trip down to the rockets, even though there's only 2 shots in it.
