    Map Description
    State Pen is your basic prison. It's complete with bathrooms, showers, cafeterias, and much more (see pictures... for pictures). This map was made over a 3-week period and took about 10 hours to make, due to constant remaking of structures. I hope its now pleasing enough to download. This is the first map I've made that I think is worth posting. I've been perfecting it for quite sometime and I think it's finally ready to be posted.

    Gametypes

    Cops N Robbers:

    This is the traditional game that gained much popularity. The golden rule of the game is: do what the cop says and you won't get blown away by the cops. The robbers have to do what the cops say to avoid being killed, and long enough to escape prison, assassinate the cops, etc. The robbers cell/cell area is generally a safe zone, and other than that if they are outside without permission they can be shot, but not without being told to return to their cells. The robbers may ask the cops to be allowed to go to the cafeteria, bathroom, showers, and other locations, though those are the most common three. The cops will usually comply, since if they don't, the game will become incredibly boring.

    Hide & Shank:

    This is a twist on the original gameplay. I suggest having around 8 people because half the people have toe be cops and so the more robbers the more interesting. This game relies heavily on the honor system, so make sure your host is responsible, and actually wants to play, so they can ban the fun-ruiners. This game plays similar to traditional C & R other than one slight twist: the robbers main objective is now not only surviving but to shank their teammates (this normally takes over the need to escape) to become the Last Man Standing. The cops, obviously, want to prevent the inmates from killing eachother, and will take the following course of actions in case of each infraction:

    Inmate seen with sword- Told to put it away and returned to cell (if not already there, plus I'd keep an eye on that one)

    Inmate caught killing someone (cop or inmate)- Taken to chair, refusal will lead to being shot until killed.

    Insubordination- Shotgun shell to the face.

    Inmate seen with a sword by a dead body- If its a cop, you're allowed to take them to the chair. If there are multiple inmates by the cop, and you can't tell which one killed them, or if the body is an inmates, they're off the hook, but the normal "Inmate found with sword" course of actions take place.

    If you refuse when told to go to the chair, the cop can and probably will shoot you. Its just way more epic to die in the chair.
    Also your reward for being the Last Man Standing is you become incredibly powerful (instant kill and invunerable) and can hunt and kill the cops.

    WARNING: HIDE & SHANK IS FOR GAMERS INCREDIBLY AVID ABOUT ABIDING BY THE HONOR SYSTEM. GAMEPLAY WILL BE SCREWED OVER IF YOU LET SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T ABIDE PLAY! SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE 8-10 PEOPLE YOU KNOW WHO REALLY LOVE COPS AND ROBBERS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT DOWNLOAD IT.

    PICTURES

    Prison Overview with Captions
    [​IMG]

    Cells Overview... the cells are in a cell building, doors are shown below this image
    [​IMG]

    Cell Building Doors. The door on the left is the in door, which just launches you directly in by man cannon, with no way to swim back out. The other door is uses the teleporter-door method and is blocked and must be opened from the outside, however a well placed grenade from inside could open it.
    [​IMG]

    Next to the cells is this structure. On top you see a man riding the ladder (idea by SlasheI2) to the sniper tower. Underneath is the garage area where the 'Hog is stored.
    [​IMG]

    Cafeteria area. In the gametypes I have listed the custom power-ups make you sick, by turning you green and making you sick and weaker.
    [​IMG]

    Door to Bathrooms. Simply pick up the overshields and the pallet will slide away.
    [​IMG]

    Bathrooms. Where you go to do your thing.
    [​IMG]]

    Showers. Go here to clean yourself off. "Group hug in the showers tonight."
    [​IMG]

    Gate. In "Hide & Shank" the inmates cannot drive, and can only ride shotgun. So the cops must escort them past the patented "Foot-runner-proof-gate" to take them to the chair.
    [​IMG]

    Electric chair in action. Cops simply go to the spectators box, pick up the sniper rifle and shoot the "button" (propane tank) to start the fireworks.

    _________________________________________________

    So there's the map pretty much. I'd appreciate if when you give your "My first impression" kind of comment you dont start telling me how bad it is before you've actually downloaded it. I got a short list of thank you though:

    SlasheI2- Ladder System

    Emerging Killer- I used some of his ideas from his Prison Map Pack (if you liked this, or even if you hated this, you'll love that so go try it)

    Th Kn1ght- Inspiration and Moral Support

    The Official Y35- Moral Support and Comic Relief

    SargeantSarcasm- Awesome... enlightenment

    I have several other good friends who helped me by supporting, testing, or in other ways. And also thanks for taking your time to read through and your feedback. Hopefully you'll download and give it a shot, because I'd recommend it due to Health Regulations. Kthnxbi.

    Yeah Thanks for your help Knight. And thanks everyone. I wasn't exactly sure how people would react to this map but i didnt think it'd be anything like this. Thanks all for your positive feedback. I finished another map a couple of days ago and i might also post that. But thanks for your feedback and I hope to continue post my forge creations.

    This is a good cops n robbers map, thoguh I swear you are making loads lol. Anyways, I don't like cops n robbers much so no D/L, but I'm sure this will get alot of attention seeing as about 1/3 the custom games I join are cops 'n' robbers.
