    Spelunking v2

    Map Title: Spelunking v2

    Spelunking v2 is out with changes to weapons and a few shifts in objective markers. I decided just to update this instead of making a new thread.

    Spelunking is a map for 2v2's or 1v1's far beneath the surface. It's crazy, dude.

    Hi everyone, I'm a ****ing idiot and think caves have flat roofs! (sarcasm)

    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.
    THERE'S A ROOF.


    Description:

    Spelunking is a word used to describe the action of exploring caves. These are caves you wouldn't want to explore. Danger lurks around every perfectly merged box/dumpster. It has a completely enclosed roof that is incredibly rough and bumpy and ugly. (It's for aesthetics - caves don't actually have flat ceilings!)

    The floor consists of various rock-like surfaces on the inside of two rooms seperated by two ridges and some pillars. The two rooms have strange organic geomtry, meaning that during gameplay you have to be aware of how you're moving and how grenades will bounce; that is, playing on Spelunking takes considerably more skill than playing on an average Foundry map.

    WEAPONS:
    +Brute Shot x2
    +BR x5
    +Plasma Rifle x2
    +Sniper x1 (180 seconds, 4 shots)
    +Laser (120 seconds)
    +SMG x2

    +Plasma Grenade x4
    +Frag x4
    +Spike x2

    i realize now that you just took the roof off for pics so, it looks like a really good map. the interlocking and geomerging give it a cave like feel, and i would know, i made a cave mao myself. also this map seems a little small for spartan lazer, and maybe sniper, but it looks like it works. seems really well deigned and thought out. 4/5

    itis a cool map, some nice interlocking, but you never aid anything about a roof, so it is extremely easy to escape, and trust me people will try to get out. the layout is okay, maybe geomerge a few more boxes so you can get to the upper level quicker, and thats it for now bro

    Actually edit, i couldnt tell if that was a roof or not, so if it is disregaurd my escapable comment. i think itsa little small for some of the weapons bur whatever duuddee

    This looks very cool. Looks like rocks and in a carvern, I know....5/5 and this is great but, interlock that wall in the back. But this is awsome though.

    it looks really good for a 1v1 map, i would love to see you try and make a bigger one for bigger teams. the only drawback is the roof is very sloppy, idk if its supposed to be like that or not, but it doesnt look good 4/5

    Excellent, dude! This is a really awesome-ly made map I can tell. The bumpiness and all that jazz is flawless. Perfect aesthetics but as for the weapons I agree with other guy. I don't think sniper or laser are really suitable. Anyway nice map I will download.

    Believe it or not, the sniper rifle works well as it has four shots and is useful for noscoping. The laser is only useful in skilled hands; it actually does work.

    Take out those BRs, this is a really bad weapon set, use a more diverse set, 3 BRs at the most. Put some spikers and plasma rifles.

    The interlocking and geomerging is very good, it really gives the map a feel(that of a cave). The layout is good and original, just fix that weapon set.

    I don't know why everyone thinks caves have flat, lovely roofs and that they're perfectly smooth all over. CAUSE THEY AREN'T.

    hey you with the hair! for those who have downloaded it good for you but its really good when you can play it with the creator. i agree its good for 2v2 but no more people than that or you cant respawn without imediately losing shields. i for one am not a fan of maps this small, but when youre playing against some one like a couple of friends of mine (the green team in the pictures is them, me and reflection are the purples) , its very fun to dominate in this map!! lol they are very bad!

    everyone reading this thread: from now on you custom game team colors are GREEN AND PURPLE!!!!!!! TWO TEAMS GREEN AND PURPLE FTW!!!!!!!

    This is kewl but it's seems like it's a mountain without the roof, looks like it's balanced with plenty of cover nice job but try adding miner things like coal cart and tracks (just use bridges.)

    map is awesome dude, im not realy a fan of the "weird" interlocking but this map design is perfect, the roof was a nice touch. If the interlocking was normal this map would be perfect... but some people like the cave like look. 4/5

    Yes, I realize some people don't like the cavyness and fast-paced wintasticness of the map, but then, I can't satisfy everyone. Only every woman.

    This is a pretty cool map. I agree that the weapon set could use a change, but the rest is great. And maybe fix the roof so it still has a cave like feel, but isn't so sloppy. 4/5

    Me and Sean got completely m1rkkk3d, bro. You and Austin are too good with Br's and s+ickies, and you made the map. Advantage plox? But still, it was superfuntastic, and slayer and CTF on it were so much fun. Great map, bro, 5/5.

    I love to go spelunking in the caves near my house so I will dl, even though this doesn't look much like the caves I've been in. Still, this map looks very cool and has a fun and interesting layout! I think you should add some cool cave formations like stalagmites, stalactites, columns, water, etc. You should also geomerge some of those boxes down lower so people can get back up. Overall, I really like the map and I hope you make many more maps. Also, you should make a version 2 of this map to make it even better!

    Great job, but not perfect
    4/5
