Asterik Created by Reigning Chaos All gametypes supported: Every gametype is supported but I sugest a free for all game Well this is my third map I've made and put on forgehub, definitly not the third I've made, but after searching the maps here i found that one thing is missing... a good small slayer based map on anything but foundry. so I got thinking and I decided that avalanche would be perfect, I was tired of the bland foundry boxes and thought the forerunner ramps and walls would look nice, so I worked on a design that supported any FFA game and this is what has finally emerged from the drawing board... behold Asterik! _________________________________________________ The attackers side, it has a power drain The defenders side, it has a regenerator Side, has sentinel beam and plasma pistol The other side, is exactly the same The centerpiece, beautiful gravity core causes minor distraction four plasma grenades spawn around this The story behind the map is that it was a forerunner science lab that was evacuated during the first flood outbreak, they left the core running hoping that they would be able to return and resume expiraments. _________________________________________________ I know the layout isn't much but it is extremely suited to slayer and it gets very hectic but fun, also it has about 1k downloads at the time of me posting this Yay! Please download and comment, criticism is welcome and if it needs be I will make a V2. If you would like to contact me my gamertag is Reigning Chaos, send me friend request and then message me In case you missed the link at the top Download Asterik
Looks very similar to Saphire only with a different layout... Meaning itd probably be fun with Rave except all the extra un-needed shield doors
It looks very well made but it needs some tweaking for gameplay. First of all, as it is extremely close quarters there needs to be some kind of mechanism to stop spawn camping. If there isn't then people will just camp in shield doors until someone comes near, so then they just throw a plasma grenade and kill them, while they are safe behind the shield. The energy drain would also make for some cheap combo kills. If someone threw it in a 3-5 player game, then they could easily get 1 or more kills with a BR or carbine or even AR. I see you tried to implement the small map concept, but you went a little overboard. Most head to head gametypes are more tactical than run and gun, or grenade camping. So, I suggest that you remove plasma doors and replace with a little cover, or merge them into your floor so that you can still get a shot on someone while they are standing behind. Also, concentrate on other weapons like BRs or ARs and take out power drain so that it doesn't tip the gameplay too much. If you have any more questions, just message me here.
Holy crap, I'm going to spend my 300th! post on this map! This map looks so epic! An enclosed area made from the materials on Avalanche is genius! I like the fact that your interlocking is super smooth, something that I would never able to accomplish. I WAS going to make my 300th post on my next map coming out, but that won't happen for about one to two weeks. But yeah, this map is amazing, and to have nearly 1,000 downloads is pretty damn impressive. Saving this thread and a five out of five.
ok thanks i think i will merge the shields on V2 but they were ment to be used as cover, not for camping reasons, and the power drain actually doesn't help as much as it would seem although it can swing a fight in your favor, and spawn camping isn't an issue as long as the shield doors are there because most spawns are in there but some out of them to allow quicker battles
If I were you, I'd extend the reaches of the map, and make the floor nice like you have it already...then, I'd put it so that you have corners, and add cornerpieces, similiar to the ones you have....The layout change is mainly for masterjelly's points he wanted to make for you: quoted below:
I like that it's not foundry and that it's orginal, But spawn camping WILL be a problem and it's way to small it's kinda like a arena. I think you should build off the middle spot and add overshield tunnels and alternate paths made of barriars.
looks very good i like how it was made on avalanche and is very creative must have taken a long time to make
wow, i love that last pic! its seriously epic. i am going to download this, it looks like a completely different map! 5/5 and your aesthetics are truly amazing.
well, i just added extra cover and merged all shield doors but it will be a while before i put it on my fileshare. also i would like to make it clear that i used mainly everything possible already that was forerunner, I will NOT add any of the boxes or double boxes ever to this so sorry to say but no expansions to this will be made because they will comprimise its asthetics. thank you, i will soon put V2 on my fileshare which has replaced the power drain with bubble shield and has merged shield doors and extra cover in the form of normal shield doors also merged.
could use some tweaks like halfway shield doors, because its enclosed on avelanche the diesign on the objects and the geometry of the map gives it a very halo 1 appearance, and trust me i love that another thing that makes it looks like a halo 1 map is the fusion coils and plasma pistols, also the curcular rooms with middle pillars, very nice
well your map looks really fun. the layout is pretty good. I might just change a few things arond thow
Looks very playable and aesthetics are great. Great use of interlocking too. I think you meant Asterisk though... ;D Like this, [ * ]?
it looks really nice and flat and well interlocked n such... but is there more to that layout??? i think u need more pictures... but other than that... it seems pretty good weapon set seems WACKED tho lol plasma pistols in a close range map... PP are mid-ranged... bt it looks like it would get really hectic... i just want to no this... does the better team win or is it whoever throws the most plasme... dont get me wrong looks fun... 4.5/5 nice job keep forging
i named it asterik because its not quite the shape of an asterisk so i named it something a little off
i really like how you made this on avalanche geat job for that also it reminds me of sapphire (i think someone said that) looks like alot of fun and it looks like it took a long time to make good job 9/10
HOLY CRAP! That is amazing. There is a great layout, there is good aesthetic qualities in the centerpiece, and basically the whole thing, and its pretty small. The only thing I don't like is the size. I can see you being spawnkilled.
Looks pretty cool, but I'd either need more pics or play it. I really like what's going on in the last picture.
From the pics I can not determine how large the map is and how the gameplay would work but yes it seems like saphire but on avalanche. Nice Job
