    THIS IS NOT A JUNKYARD MAP!

    ."The Predator720": hokay this is a very non semmetrical map because most things are very random that why we called it topiary because its like a topiary garden (random things made of bushes). anyways me and green gunner first started this when we were bored and started to geomerge random things and after a while it started to turn into a map. in fact some things here were actually done by accident and we liked it so we kept it. there is also pretty good gameplay that comes with this amazing package! wow that was terrible anyways no there is good gameplay and it is set up for FFA, T slayer, CTF, oddball, and assault. now im going to let you here what my partner in crime has to say

    Green Gunner: Before you comment, play the map. Delete it after if you don't like it. It's not the most beautiful map...
    So, as you read above, this map is asymmetrical. Seriously. I don't think that there's anything about it symmetrical (besides the back hall). If there is, tell me. I don't think I know of anything.
    Anyways, As The Predator said, the whole thing started off with us randomly geo-merging. It was pretty fun to make, I gotta say.
    So I'd say that this map was about... 60% Pred, 40% Me I think. Pred agrees. So the map is pretty playable I think. You get the long sightlines, but sometimes you get the hand-to-hand combat, so you get the variety.
    So on a final note, I like this map. And if you think I'm saying too much and just ranting on, tell me.

    From Green Gunner with love...

    okay if you look in the back corner and there is a fence box merged into the roof well the story behind that was that green gunner was putting it in the ground on the other side of the map and it shot out and got stuck in the roof, we thought it was cool so we left it.

    [​IMG]
    in the back part of the hall way there is part of an invisible single box there which was another accident because green gunner again was trying to put it in the wall and it went almost all the way through and became invisible

    this is the attackers base

    Nice map, it seems very different, it reminds me of when i tried to make a junkyard map by chucking down loads of random items. Anyway, its looks like it would be a really fun map to play on, good job you two!

    Cool this map looks very sweet 'specially for infection. What I like the most is that you guys geomerged, and it looks 'clean' for those areas. But just how much thought did you put into the placement of objects? As of now, it looks like this is just a map to mess around in and only play once. Please justify what objects do serve a purpose for cover. I'm sorry if I sounded like an ass. 4/5, because no one has the guts to make a map like this. It's unique, reminds me of ruins

    Dang... I don't think I like it very much but it's so confusing... it might be impairing my judgment... This map puts the Random in randomness, and thats most of the word. I like it and yet... I don't know what to think...

    I've seen alot of these "throw everything around" maps and to be honest I dotn frankly like them. Its a good idea to do the opposite of what everybody does (clen maps) and make a completly origional one, but to be honest its no longer origional. Its extremly hard to find you way around, you go through everything since msot of it is in the air, and make gaeplay hard and a little dull. Sorry. This map dosent completly suck though so Im going to have to give it an average 3/5.

    nice job predator. most people just throw things into foundry and call it good. but even tho it's random, it looks like it took time and looks like it can b played on

    Kublah don't advertise ur map in this thread. This is better than most junkyard maps. It is nice to see some geomerging. Im not sure about gameplay. It pretty much depends on the weapon set and how well thought out it really is. A weapons list would be helpful and if you could point out why you put some stuff where that would convince me to dl. It just seems a bit to random to have good gameplay

    This looks a little plain, if it plays good, I'm wrong, but else, this is just bad.

    I don't have anythhing else to say.
