    Farmhouse
    by Skittlemeister0

    First off, let me describe it. This map is basically a large farm located at the back of foundry. It is HUGE, I say, not a regular four corner barn with a corner wall as a roof. It comes with a broken-down water turbine that (used) to clean the rushing water that comes from a metal slough (not a waterfall). There is also a windmill, and a cellar with a secret surprise. Then there is the Farmer's Shack, a cozy little house made out of a few intricately interlocked walls, and his pickup truck holding his new ATV for his nephew. Hidden around the map are a few weapons just for fun if you can find them (Some are REALLY hard to find, so look everywhere). Actually, I will just show you them in the pics.

    Now, bear with me, there are too many pictures to show off all of it's glory and wonder, so be patient:

    All pics work now, thank you for waiting!

    First let's see what the barn looks like (an inside pic is below):
    [​IMG]

    OK, now we should look at the windmill. Below you can see the Farmer's Dump Truck (for all of the animal's poo ;D)
    [​IMG]

    Here you can see the top of the windmill (There is a weapon up there... I wonder what it could be...)
    [​IMG]

    It's a Laser!
    [​IMG]

    Here is the Turbine that comes out from the barn (it might be really dark, sorry, I cannot help that.):
    [​IMG]

    The hidden pistol that sort of represents the "switch" that was supposed to turn on the turbine (located on the barrel right of the turbine):
    [​IMG]

    Under the windmill... Can you see the hidden weapons?
    [​IMG]

    The SMG'S located on the hood...
    [​IMG]

    And the Sniper hidden in the barrels...
    [​IMG]

    Here is the cellar. It is immediately left of the barn's entrance.
    [​IMG]

    After you break the pallet and remove the barrels covering the entrance, you get a secret surprise!
    [​IMG]

    A view from inside:
    [​IMG]

    The windows looking out of the barn:
    [​IMG]

    A cramped look from the back ceiling of the barn:
    [​IMG]

    The slough/river leading to the turbine:
    [​IMG]

    A closer look at the slough:
    [​IMG]

    I wonder what is at the end of the river? (Noob Tube, of course...):
    [​IMG]

    Here is the farmer's cozy shack:
    [​IMG]
    (Psst... There is a BR under his wood pile...)

    A view from behind showing the forging of the house and his pickup truck with it's ladder/ramp for the Mongoose:
    [​IMG]

    I hope you like it! Tell me what you think! BTW, I have too post a couple of screens into a new post, so sorry for the double!

    Here is the link. Sorry bout that... A Farmhouse!

    And those pics I said about the inside, sorry, I deleted them... I will just tell you, when inside the farm, those pallets and barrels aren't there for no reason, eh?

    Hey you added a couple more things to it!

    It looks really good everyone, I would suggest downloading it just to check it out. Skittles gave me a tour of it yesterday, and it looked awesome when I went through it.

    Lmao. This map is sweet. I like that there is a whole farm and not just a farm house. Very nice work.

    Well, there were somethings I had to chuck (the grain fields, the hidden Gauss garage, etc.) But thanks for liking it!

    It does actually look really good but does it work as a competitive map aswell as an aesthetic one?

    Although come to think about it ddosen't really nbeed to be both.

    I want it to, but I used the non-budget glitch (on accident), so there isn't enough money for it D:

    It does not look that neat though, and it's not because of the interlocking, it's just the item placement and the locations make it look messy, I was attracted to the map by the name... And It's not that bad anyways

    O_O;; It's finally out... I've been dying for this since we played it this morning. But who are you? You made this supremely awesome map that got the title from my idea? Lols.. Alright. 5/5 Skittles bring up the good work.

    this map could use a lot of work. You have all the tricks down but you have to make us know what we're looking at without looking at the tittle. It could be better.

    Very interesting!
    It is very good overall but parts of the barn don't look like a barn.
    If you look at some of the angles they seem a little like a pyramid.
    I don't know if just me or what buts it's good.

    Just forewarning you that the title of the thread needs to be the same as that of the map.

    I believe you have 24 hours to get that right. The sooner the better though.

    As for the map...I'm not one for aesthetic maps personally...So my opinion isn't needed.

    :/ The map's name is Farmhouse... Am I not allowed to have it "Aesthetic Farm by Skittlemeister0"? And the pyramid shape is due to the slants being the housing for the turbine's energy source, and the box on top is sort of like a chimney. And it is NOT a waterfall, Chips. It is a SLOUGH. It's a metal thing that brings water from a river to a water source. Duh.
