    An underground war, fueled by wealth.
    Cavernous
    Created By: LOCKdownN
    Gametypes Supported: Slayer, Oddball, KotH, CTF, Assault, Territories,
    Recommended Players: 4-10

    Back Story:
    Around the late 1800s, gold was becoming ubiquitous throughout California. Not only did people want it, they were willing to risk there lives for it.

    There has been stories told of an underground war, fueled be the lust for gold, oil, and most of all, wealth. This battle went on for years and years. Stories say it was between two mine corporations, greedy to get there hands on the oil and gold that sat around half a mile under there feet.

    After a while they did strike gold, and they did find oil, but they wanted more. So, they began to mine on the other companies land, which then resulted in the huge rivalry. Over the years, the rivalry became stronger.
    Too strong.

    Map Description:
    Cavernous is a fully symetrical map, using a different side of foundry.

    v2 changes are pretty minimal, but now you can no longer escape, and i fixed some spawning problems and weapon problems.

    Almost every foundry map that i see is made using the large and open part of foundry. It makes sence, more room, more space for creativity. I wanted to show that you don't need a large space, to make a good, if not great map. So, i set of to make Cavernous.

    Cavernous was originally based of Tunnel Raid, an older, non-foundry map. Bu, i wanted to have interesting, and aesthetically pleasing maps, so i looked at some featured maps, and saw i liked the Defenders base design on Machu Picchu. Although the bases don't look very similar to Machu Picchu, they were based of of it.

    The has a variety of weapons. Although the shotgun in the center seems like it would be overkill, and too over powering, its not. Me, and the other testers found that other weapons, which usually aren't considered a power weapon, do become one. This creates an interesting and original feel.

    Weapons:
    • 2 Brute Shots
    • 4 Spikers
    • 4 Spike Grenades
    • 4 Battle Rifles
    • 2 Bubble Shields
    • 2 Fire Bombs
    • 2 Deployable Covers
    • 2 Assault Rifles
    • 1 Shotgun
    • 2 Plasma Pistols
    • 2 Plasma Grenades
    • 2 Carbines

    Looks like a nice map, from what I can see. Perhaps you could include an overview picture of the map as a whole, I think it would be greatly beneficial. Although all the screens look pretty good individually, I can't really tell how the map flows together as a whole.

    Just working purely off what I can see in the pictures, the map looks pretty nice. It's good to know that I'm not alone in the world liking movable objects. It seems to many Foundry maps these days are just piles of walls and boxes. I think some barrells or pallets scattered around really adds some flavor to a map. I'll DL and give it a look when I get my Box back, but for now looks like a good 3.5/5

    I remember when you first made this, and I'm glad you fixed some things on it.

    The back part of Foundry has been done before, but I don't think it has ever been done this well. The doors and barrels inside the hallway make it cramped and chaotic and even though it seems like you would see everything going on you really have to stay on your toes. The bases make for some interesting fights, usually coming down to outsmarting your opponent with maneuvers around cover. Overall it's a great, fun map and all the gametypes work really well with it

    4.5/5
