    Area 52
    More secret than Area 51

    Download Map

    So this is my second attempt at the map area 52 from th 64 version of "perfect dark". (back in the day when perfect dark was great)
    i have put about 30+ hours into forging this map and i am very happy with the outcome. it plays great in most every variant it is designed for, and the weapon placement is incredible thanks to the help of some friends.
    i have used the infinite money glitch as well as advanced interlocking techniques to keep the map looking great and playing better.

    Area 52 supports the following variants;

    Slayer
    One Flag - i personally recommend this one.
    Oddball
    King of the hill
    Juggernaut
    Infection

    Here is a list of the weapons/power-ups/equipment on the map;

    Assault Rifle - 1
    Battle Rifle - 6
    Shotgun - 1 (0 extra clips)
    SMG - 2
    Plasma Rifle - 2
    Needler - 2
    Brute Shot - 2
    Gravity Hammer - 1 (does not spawn for 120sec)
    Mauler - 1
    Active Camo (180 sec respawn)
    Frag Grenade - 1
    Plasma Grenade - 6
    Power Drain - 1
    Regenerator - 1

    so thanks for you guys time i would appreciate yall checking out my map.

    and i would like to give a special thanks to Linubidix, JAYclash, and PanicxRocket for the help with weapon placement.

    so if anybody has any request or questions feel free to ask me.

    Edit:
    because of the request for a better view on the map and because i was having trouble getting better ones i am adding this video so yall can see the whole map and a little of how it plays in one flag. Area 52 walkthrough

    Great map man! I really don't see many ways you can improve this! Beautiful job, mate! 5/5, download, and +rep I think it's so good. Anyways, it's always nice to have another competitive CTF map in our midst. Nice job, man, nice job. Oh, and welcome to Forgehub.

    lets see lemme get my checklist here ok...
    interlocking check
    geomerging uncheck from the pics
    neatness 5/5
    overall 3.5/5 (7/10)
    how can you improve the map?
    A) geomerging to improve aethescetics
    B) tweaking the spawns ever so slightly because when i played there was a few bad spawns
    C) remove the bottom shield door to allow for grenades to go under

    alright im going to try reallly har not to get reported for spam on this post so here it goes. the concept of an area 51 map seems overused. but lets put thatto the side because this map looks really good. one of the few times i can say wow, a map that took 30 hours and none of the time was wasted. I'll dl it but you could put more of a description so people know what their getting before they download. Plus my favorite gametype is ctf so this could be a good thing since that is what you recomend. now is that spammy?

    Great map and the forging looks neat. But in the pics you really did'nt describe what e wee looking at and the pics did'nt reveal a whole lot of the map. The map itself looks really cool but again I stress that for people to fully understand your map I suggest more pics, and captions under or above the pics describing what wer're seeing. Hope I helped.

    A) sorry for having to ask but what is geomerging?
    B) can you name those bad spawns? i will check again today and fix em.
    C) there is only one door that is covered top and bottom and the others you can throw grenades above is that good, or do you think i should switch them so grenades can be thrown below instead of above?
