    - Brief Description -
    When I set out to do this project my two main goals were to make a map that wasn’t on Foundry, and to make sure that the map would be compatible with as many gametypes as possible. I chose Rat’s Nest out of the simple fact that I really like the map’s geometry. I’ve chosen to block off the outer ring and to keep the players inside the central structure.

    I always strive to create a balanced experience where the players never feel that they were unable to catch up if falling behind. The work that goes into creating a balanced experience affects everything from choosing which weapons to place on the map to how and where the spawnpoints are placed.
    To ensure that no-one has an unfair advantage I’ve kept vehicles off the map and there isn’t a way to escape out of the map. For 2 – 8 players.

    This map is compatible with these gametypes: Free For All, Team Slayer, Oddball, King of The Hill, Capture The Flag, Assault and Territories.

    Weapons on map:
    Battle rifles: 10
    Assault rifles: 2
    Maulers: 2 *
    Rocket launchers: 1 **

    Equipment on map:
    Frag grenades: 7
    Plasma grenades: 7
    Overshields: 1 ***

    * The maulers have a respawn time of 90s and contain 1 spare clip.
    ** The rocket launcher has a respawn time of 150s and contains 0 spare clips.
    *** The overshield has a respawn time of 120s.

    Agreed, very nice pics. I like the use of the teleporters and the walkway, too. All in all a very nice map.

    Thank you guys, It took some time to get the post ready, but in the end it was worth it. Be sure to download it as well ;).

    Thanks! Leave some feedback on it when you've tried it out :)!

    Sorry it took so long to give you my feedback on this. I've been in the forge all day long since Furious broke my map last night.

    With the racetrack off limits, this is suddenly a completely differant map than Rat's Nest. You have made a unique play area, very efficiently. I am not a fan of smaller maps, but that's just my taste, and most people seem to be. Plus you are way more competative than me, so this is good for that type of player.

    We only played King of the Hill but I think this was the best choice. I actually think this was the most fun I've ever had on KOTH. Usually KOTH is reduced to extreme grenade spam but since all the hills are in separate, tight rooms, it works much better here.

    Overall, I think this very differant that Rat's Nest, a distinction most maps don't pull off.

    Judging from you screens and your sig, I bet you're getting into photoshop. Map looks really cool too, I like some nice and close quartered maps.

    Thanks man :D, you should try to play an Oddball game or perhaps a FFA, personally I think it's there that the map really shines.

    Presentation makes or breaks if people are going to download your map, photoshop just enhances the pictures a bit. Thanks by the way! :squirrel_hug:

    Yeah, this was pretty cool when we played Team King the other night. I didn't get in the Hill very much, but it's still a lot of fun and I liked jumping down from the top of the bridge onto those soon-to-be dead guys. Well done!

    Looks nice, love the detailed pictures, makes your post look wonderful.

    As for the map, it looks like one of the best I have seen on Rat's Nest so far, so I will queue it and immerse myself into this map. I will try to get back to you soon.

    Damn thats a great map.
    the sense of balance really shows in the map, it really makes the gameplay more fair.
    I can tell it took you a while with weapon placements, spawn points, etc.
    I think everyone agrees that the pics are freakin awesome.
    Very well done. =)
    i would DL but my router is broken =(

    looks pretty cool. is the outer loop all sealed off. BTW good job on the Furious Reviews, they have been helping me find good maps to play by reading what you guys say. But your the only review member that posts good reviews so congrats!

    I'll be honest, this looks like plain old Rat's Nest with some entrances blocked off and a few teleporters added. Now I'm hoping it's something a lot different because regular old Rat's Nest is no fun.

    Thanks, you can put it in your download que you know. And one question, how can you tell where I've put spawn points if you haven't downloaded the map? ;).

    Thank you, but I feel that I have to defend my fellow teammates. All of us write good, honest and adequate reviews. You might have seen more reviews made by me but I suggest that you read up on all reviews made by members of the Furious Review team. You can have a look over here.

    Well there really isn't much you can do about the map's texture / geometry etc. And lets face it, all maps on Foundry look more or same just like each other. I'd appreciate it if you'd test it out a bit because it really doesn't play like Rat's Nest. Thanks for the comment though :).

    Peace // gorebound
