    Lucky Dip: Lucky Dip!
    A fun and mainly pointless game used for 2-6 players. Its a great map for when you have time to kill.

    Download Map: Lucky Dip V2
    Download Gametype: Not So Lucky

    Description:
    Ok so first off let me say that this map was not my idea. My friend Hitokiri DK came up with the whole thing. Then when i played it i asked him if it was ok for me to take his idea of the map, and add my OCD to creating it. Doing so i made the floor interlocked and smooth. Also added the wall and the teleporters to get back into it you end up being blown out. So this map is what it says. Lucky Dip. All weapons possible are in the middle of the map and you spwan round the outside layers. There are 16 crates topped with 16 fusion barrels all which explode when you shoot just one.

    So it may not seem like fun. But if you are in a room with friends and just want to kill some time this is a perfect way. Its both fun and intuative. What weapon you get is nearly always random and the winner is the person who is the most lucky when it comes to picking the weapons.

    This is a very simple basic slayer game. Put with the Gametype created by Hitokiri DK which starts you with just a plasma pistol and no grenades. First to 50 and every man for himself.
    When i first saw this map with my friend i say the potential it had. I dont have that much skill when making maps, and i believe this is my best to date. (Mainly because i finished it without having a room that explodes.)
    I would add a list of weapons for you, but if you think of a weapon it will most likly be in there. This isnt my first map on here. But its my first official map that includes interlocking.
    Warning!
    Altho the map isnt as laggy as it can be, it has the pontential to be very laggy due to the amount of weapons. It does not affect the gameplay. Its barely noticable. Just thought id mention that befor i got flamed for it <.<

    Enjoy!

    Hey! I see you have a problem with your pics. Click this link to find out how to fix them.

    The map doesn't seem very fun from the description. I don't like the idea of having lots and lots of weapons in one big pile and then having everybody try to go there and pick one up. But we'll see. Sorry I can't download this right now, my xbox is being repaired.

    This doesn't look like a whole lot of fun. If you try to get a weapon. chances are you will die, and if you live it'll probably take a while to find the weapon you want. An excellent idea though.

    Let me start off by saying that the picture of the midlle with all the weapons automatically told me that this was not a true forging effort. Do not and I say again do not put every weapon on the weapons list in the middle of the map under any circumstance. It ruins any chance the game has at becoming fun. Second off, what's the point to this map? is all you do is get blown up. Is there an objective? And lastly to end on a lighter note, The floors appeared very nicely ands smoothly interlocked. Sorry but I give this map a 2/5.

    well unlike everybody else here i do have a sense of humor and enjoy maps like this. the only thing is that its easy to escape. fix that and i think this would be a great minigame map.

    Well the floors are very smooth. Maybe you should do that with the wall. And also maybe add another level of walls so it's inescapable. I know what it's like with the stupid maps like this with no intensity at all. Me and friend usually do that when we're bored and whip something out in 5 minutes. I've played a map exactly like this and--believe it or not-- it was very fun. We just did it while waiting for a party for btb. But how is this any different from setting starting weapon to random?

    difference is that u have to go and get it urself. hopeing u get the one ur after. adds a bit more danger to it. i didnt interlock the wall for the reason that i wanted it to look different to the floor so i left it. but given time ill sort it out. ill see what i can do with the roof too. make it inescapable. thanks for the feedback =-]

    I dont really like this map. it doesnt look like you put much effort into it at all and I see a great potential for spawn camping, wich eliminates the whole purpose of fun. On a better note, the floor is well interlocked and I suppose it would be fun with a few freinds, a bit. 2.5/5.

    Keep on forging!

    ACtually he is kinda right. If there are just 2 people one can stand in a corner and nearly all the time the other player spawns at the other end. but with 3+ that problem is a little null and void.
