    Altoheap is a 9 story tall tower built right outside of the map Blackout. It a squeal to my map Altobering. There are many similarities and many differences. First the defenders spawn up top, while the attackers spawn at the bottom. Each team gets a shotgun 90 seconds into the game, and each one has a way of getting halfway up the map. The defenders get a tunnel, while the attackers get the, as peple requested, elevator. Besides the elevator I have also added a sytem of two teleporters that take you around the map, instead of jumping up the whole thing.

    Gametypes

    What the F*ck!! This map is super cool and well forged. 9 LEVELS!!! Unbelievable!! I'm going to download this map. It's pretty cool, 5/5 But I still can't believe it!! 9 levels like!! I'm going to play this with some friends next time I get on my Xbox!! It looks very neatly forged and would be very fun for gameplay in my opinion.

    Well this isn't the most pretty looking map ever, but it's on black out, it is a sexy tower, and generally awesome lookingish. You have my DL friend. Congrats you win.

    EDIT: OK I have questions now:
    1. Is this Unlimited budget glitched? If not and you get rid of flamethrower and sentinels, this has potential to go on Shishka's new playlist.
    2. Did you use a floor that was built outside blackout to make this? Just wondering because I was thinking of doing something out there.

    Ok, It has downloaded and me and thecartographer have played it. I must say, it is alot bigger than the pictures show. We had fun climbing to the top, always saying things like "I thought I say you" or "how much farther up is this?"

    The interlocking on the bottom floor is the most noticible. The walls are interlocked to perfection and I even noticed some double boxes and stairs interlocked. I also enjoy the doors that make it possible for you to drop to the bottom floor at any given time.

    The layout looks great as well, it looks like it would be alot of fun. Altogethor, great job. This deserves a 5/5 and good rep.

    The first picture first got my attention. I have never seen anything like it!

    This must be very fun for TS and one sided gametypes. But I would emagine the flag carrier has to be slow so the defenders can catch him while he is going back toward his base.

    Also, I may be wrong (It is very possable since I havn't played the map) but how easy is it to spawn camp? It looks like its pretty simple and if there is a defender in the attackers base mit could mean trouble... If I am wrong I take it back though.

    Well it ldefinately looks like me and my friends would have a great time on this so 5/5

    This map looks like good fun. The prospect of battling opponents for control of high ground that will give advantages sounds fun.

    Beautiful map, nine levels is a true feat. Im not a big fan of blackout but this is a definite dl from me regardless. However, I do have some suggestions/questions.
    1. Flamethrower...really? Im not too sure about that.
    2. What are the respawn/clip settings on the shotguns?
    3. Sentinel beams ftw, always. :]
    Great post man, I hope to see more from you in the future!

    well this looks like a very interesting map! i've never really seen a tower THAT tall! i'm just wondering is it over the map or over a part where if you jumped off you'd die?!?! i'm assuming that youdon't want people runnign around on the Map XD very good map though! It has nice and clean interlocking! 9/10!

    To answer those questions:
    1.) Each base has about 3 levels to spawn on, so if a person is on one level they will spawn on another. So far I havn't had any trouble with spawn camping.
    2.) The flamethrower is something I put there because not many maps use it effectively. But on this map, you can use it anywhere effectively, but its still not to overpowering
    3.) The shotgun has a 90 second respawn time, 0 spare clips, and don't spawn at the start of the game. Both shotguns are on the opposite ends of the tower(top and bottom)

    I hope this cleared some stuff up.

    Bartoge I haz some kweschins:
    k
    1) R this unlimited budget glitch?
    2) How does neutral bomb play? If there is one team at the top, I would think they would have the advantage.

    I can't see too much from the pictures. This seems like it'd be great for asymmetrical objective gametypes. As soon as I can get LIVE working (I need to get a new router) I'll test it out and get back to you.

    1. No, there is no unlimited money glitch used on this map.
    2. Since there's 9 stories there is a distinct middle level. Each team has an equal distance to travel, which makes the game fair for each team.

    The easthetics aren't to pleasing (It's almost impossible to make a floating tower aesthetically pleasing), the layout is pure ownage! I always wanted a vertical map, and none in my taste has been released yet. I will download this and try it out in the aftergames of MMG's WGN. I will review it when i have tried it tomorrow :)

    never have i seen ((9!!)) stories! amazing. i had fun climbing up to the top and jumping back to the bottom. strikes me as an ideal doubles map, but no doubt it could support some gnarly FFA?? the lift at the bottom and the chute at the top are really neat. nice work ma man.

    Talk about a vertical map! Haha, this should be fun to look around and maybe play a game on. I'll download it and get back to you with more.
