    This is my newest map which I made just on a spur of the moment forge session. Granted that was a rough draft and this is the final copy It still has the exact same feel. I tried to get this map tested out via the map-testing forum, but that didn't go so well. It was tested but not nearly to the extent that I had wanted. So please test it out for me and let me know how it goes.


    So this is a symmetrical map which has a lot of different pathways and jumps. I made this map with jumping in mind so you can expect it to be a big part. If you know the map and what you can do, you will have a great advantage over your opponent even if they get the first shot. There is an upper level walkway at one box height around 2/3 of the main area on each side. Active Camo can be found by jumping on top of some barrels and then onto a box which is covered in a fence box. There is also a corner base like structure. The two sides are separated by a large wall which has the rockets on top which is surrounded by fusion coils to add some danger to them. The wall in the middle is also hollow and can be entered from both sides to access the overshield.


    The map has been setup for all gametypes except for infection. I do not recommend oddball due to the fact that people can just stand on the top wall by rockets and be quite hard to knock off.

    Wow this map is very huge and makes it stand out a lot in originality. I would work on your interlocking skills a little bit but overall I think this map could have great potential in gameplay

    good JOb

    Wow you used pretty much all of Foundry and congratz on doing so. There are alot of things that cud be interlocked to make the map so much neater and nicer. This map looks great to play on and the aesthetics are pretty good. Willl get back to you once I've playtested.

    What I would recommend is that i see some forging mistakes and should be cleaned. i would make a v2, and make it a cooler map, because it looks like it could be a great map.

    I was play testing this map and i have to say that slayer is really fun on this map but CTF is where is shines. The structures are great and the map shape is interesting. Like I said the gameplay is the focus here. 4.5/5

    Looks like a great map!

    But in my opinion, is WAY to crowded. The map has a lot of good geometry and a great layout but the map has a lot of stuff on it.

    I would suggest maybe cleaning it up a little bit and removing a some stuff from the map. i really like the structures you have and i really love the way you used the backway in the map.
    Usually that is blocked off but your execution of it looks great.

    So other than the cleaning up, I really like the map.

    Great Job!

    This is a great map because it employs the brilliant use of most nooks, crannies and empty spaces created by the map geometry. Instead of a closed box, it is open, and it connects to another one that has something inside of it that is under another fighting platform. GREAT job on creating an intricate layout that uses a lot of space and really shows your talent as a forger not aesthetically, but in terms of gameplay. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK> 4/5

    This map actually stands out to me because now that i look at it and its layout, I can see that this map has a very large amount of potential. Remake the map and turn some boxes over, get some more interlocking going, add a little geomerging if necassary and you've got yourself a great map with great gameplay and great great great great... what was i talking about again? O.O"
