    Cataclysm
    Created by TD51
    These icy caves were sealed off durring an avalanch and make an exelent battleground... or an icy grave... 8-12 Players.
    CATACLYSM - A sudden and violent physical action producing changes in the earth's surface.

    Base: Avalanche

    Supported Gametypes:

    • Slayer
    • Capture the Flag
    Story:

    Cataclysm takes place on, or rather, in, Avalanche. However, you have been trapped inside by a second avalanche, which sealed all the exits. The main cave has been split in two, you and your men on one side of the lift, and the enemy on the other. The direct path is dangerous to say the least. So teleporters have been placed, allowing passage between the backs of each base through secondary caves.

    Description:

    Cataclysm is a relatively small map (the player count in the map description is the maximum before the spawns stop working well, however, I would not advise more than 8) and is mostly close-quarters.

    There is not technically a custom gametype, however, I would advise AR starts, as there are plenty or BRs on the map.

    Weapons/Equipment:

    8 BRs - Two by each base entrance and two in each secondary cave.
    2 Portable Cover - One at each end of the lift.
    4 Frags - Two in each secondary cave.
    4 Plasmas - Two in each secondary cave.

    Forging 101:

    [ ___ ] __Floating Objects
    [ ___ ] __Instant Respawn
    [ YES ] __Immovable Objects
    [ ___ ] __Timed Map Events
    [ YES ] __Effective Spawn Placement
    [ ___ ] __Gravity Lift Techniques
    [ ___ ] __Objects Placed in Water
    [ ___ ] __Used Symmetry Option
    [ ___ ] __Interlocking Objects
    [ ___ ] __Objects Merged with Map Geometry
    [ ___ ] __Unlimited Budget Glitch

    first of all, why are my comments starting in the middle of the box
    anyway, map looks oky, you used the energy wall things to boared it off right? i woulda been cool if you coulda made it look like an actualy avalanche did. i think you should add more though, it seems like just an open map, maybe a platform or something in the middle.​

    i like the idea of cave warefare and it would be cool if you added some structures outside that you can teleport to and use those as the bases to make the map WAY bigger because more than likely you have alot of money

    it looks like you spent five minutes on this map, might want to add more areas to play in and also ive seen a couple of maps made in the chasom, might want to add like a catwalk/another base along the side or something

    I don't really get it. So it is just a slaughterfest between two teams in two sets of caves? I would show some gameplay shots if I were you. Thanks

    The story was wierd...

    An excellent battlefield... or a icy grave... That makes no sense since a battlefield results in death regardless.

    And I couldn't see much from the pictures, what the guy in the first post said.

    Don't be lazy and embed all the pictures, the less laziness you put the more comments, views and downloads you will get.

    @Scopulus - Sorry bout that, I thought I remembered seeing a 3-5 limit on the imbeded pictures. They have been imbedded and enlarged now.

    @Bloumbas - I would be very open to an idea as to how to make it look like an avalanche, but I couldn't come up with anything. The platform idea is good though, I may add some bridges across instead of just the lift.... Thanks!

    @Own3dyoo - They have been imbedded. Please keep all critisism contructive though. I appreciate the rating, but ideas as to how to pull it up would have been much better. Thanks.

    @Thepredator720 - Thanks! The outdoor bases aren't a bad idea, but unless they are enclosed it kinda kills the idea of cave warfare.

    @ExtreemKablooie - I spend more than that, although I'll admit to almost and hour of it being trying to fix the rather lame canvas I had downloaded... The catwalk/bridge idea is god though. That's the second mention so I'll probably try that, thanks!

    @RadiantRain - Not for the winners... Sorry about the pictures, Photobucket shrunk them on me. I've fixed it now. The only reason they were'nt embeded is because I thought there was a 3-5 picture limit. My mistake. Thanks! Also, any ideas for a better story would be great. I'm a horrible writter.

    @xSharpshooter94 - Please keep all critisism contructive. Ideas on how to improve it would be much appreciated.
