The Pipes

A competitive map made for games of 2-6 players.​

The Map is/has:

• Three stories tall and made on the FUMGCC canvas.
• Full of high-quality interlocked items.
• items fused into map geometry, including a wall fused into the side of Foundry.
• Rarely used equipment along with well-balanced weapons which adds to the fun, excitement and strategy of play, while still keeping it fair.

Description:​

This isn't some thrown-together map, it took 5 days to create. Each room and area feels unique, with different color schemes and item placements. Foundrys naturally ugly, but that doesn't mean maps on it have to be.

Oh yes, there's hidden areas in this map. The pipes lead to one of two hallways, with a weapon or equipment spawn, which leads to one of two pipes coming out of the top of the normal area of the map, hence the name "The Pipes". There's another hidden area that the pipes can lead you to...but you'll have to figure that out for yourself.

​

The maps are built to work well with all gametypes (2 teams max). With well-placed spawn points & spawn areas for team-based games you shouldn't see spawn killing.

​

This Map Contains:​

Weapons:

• Assault Rifle
• Battle Rifle
• Brute Shot
• Carbine
• Flamethrower
• Magnum
• Mauler
• Plasma Pistol
• Plasma Rifle
• SMG
• Spiker

Equipment:

• Active Camo
• Deployable Cover
• Firebomb Grenade
• Frag Grenade (3)
• Plasma Grenade (2)
• Spike Grenade
• Trip Mine (2)

MLG Weapons:

• Battle Rifle (3)
• Carbine
• Energy Sword
• Magnum
• Mauler (2)
• Plasma Pistol

MLG Equipment:

• Active Camo
• Deployable Cover
• Frag Grenade (4)
• Plasma Grenade (2)
• Trip Mine (2)

Note:​

• The MLG version is as true to MLG as I could make it, while still keeping the unique gameplay the map offers. There are some weapons and equipment which are not normally found in MLG, but don't really go against the grain of MLG games. These items include: deployable cover, the trip mine, pistol and sword. However, the sword is hard to obtain and using it can be difficult with the cover in areas such as The Workshop and The Maze. Couple that with plasma grenades and the sword isn't too overpowering.
• If you desire to get back into the map after some how getting out, use the teleporter found in the middle of Foundry.
• This map was in the video and screenshots in my guide to fusing walls into map geometry.
• I'm unable to spawn new items due to the unlimited money glitch. However if you want me to edit spawn points I will gladly do so.
• More so than my previous maps, this one was quite labor-intensive. On the subject of future Versions, we'll see... Honestly, I think I've done the best I can do.

PS:
If I come off as obnoxious or grandiose I am sorry. I'm just trying to make a good thread to go with my map.​

 

Gah, sorry man. I would but my 360 won't read disks anymore, as of the night I finished the map (Guess it killed my 360).
If you could make a pic for me I'd love that, but I can't go and take one. The maps around 3 double boxes long and 2 and a half boxes wide. It's rather small so I'd have to take out alot of walls to take a screenshot.

First of all I'd like to make it very clear that I did not rip off the name of the map The Pipe, just ask the maker of The Pipe, he'll tell you.

It's named The Pipes because there are pipes of sorts you go though in the hidden area.

I'd love to hear what you two think of my map after you've tried it out.

 

Wait, "consider adding a teleporter somewhere on the bottom side of the map that leads to the sender nodes up top" Hmm, put your PM to me and this post it seems as if you didn't find the hidden area, not the stupid camo area, that's not even really hidden.

Alright, go up to where the dumpster is, near the Magnum and Plasma Pistol spawn. Jump over the Dumpster. Cool huh?

Anyway, I'm an MLG person, I hate overpowerd weapons, not because I get pwnt by people using them but because I think everyone should have a good chance to fight, no matter what weapon they have.

I'm not going to force MLG down peoples throats, but just the same I wanted to keep my map balanced, so that's what I did.

There is no shotgun because I feel that would be far overpowerd in a map this small, however I put in a sword because there are good counters to it all though out the map.

Another reason for keeping out some weapons was to mix it up. Live a little, use some dual wield weapons.
I thought long and hard about the weapons I put in here, and after 4+ playtests I came up with the weapons I have in it now. I wouldn't change a thing.

I hope you like my map.
*sigh* However my map doesn't seem to be doing so well, I donno what I did wrong, it's just not getting alot of downloads. My competitor "The Pipe" which was made after I made The Pipes is pwning my map. Most people don't even know why my maps called The Pipes, because they never found the hidden area.

 

Yeah, I could of made the map alot faster if I didn't keep nit picking the look of it. The reason I put the fences on the floor was because I just found it looked ugly without them, I really like how it looks with them. If only I could have put fence walls on the sides also, but I just didn't have enough.

 

It doesn't need a shotgun, it has the mauler, the sword and the plasma pistol. MLG has replaced the shotgun with the mauler, it's more balanced and overall better for gameplay then the shotgun.

 

It's behind the dumpster in the room higher up than any other, which also happens to be the defenders base.
Now you'll see why it's called The Pipes.

And just in case, remember that there's more past the dumpster than some tiny tiny room, just keep looking, you'll see the path to the pipes below.

 

Wow thanks, now I just hope you like my map.
