    Com Tower
    Created By: BattyMan

    Gametypes Supported: Tripod Terrain

    Recommended Players: 6-8

    Avalanche, the mini-game and casual haven, is back in force with Com Tower, BattyMan's signature winter aesthetics now being twinned with an innovative Territories variant. Defenders must protect the 3 territories, each overlooked by its own Tripod which is accessible from the main Com Tower, the base of which holds the 4th and final territory. The Com Tower itself dominates the visual atmosphere of the map, and the Tripods compliment the imposing challenge presented to the attacking team.

    The Tripods are all linked via teleporter to the Com Tower, the sender nodes in each Tripod cabin leading into the depths of the main Tower and netting you a grav lift on the way. This is used to boost up to 1 of 3 teleporters within the main Com Tower chamber, each of which leads to a corresponding Tripod. Defenders must move from one Tripod to another via the Com Tower to defend any territory which is under attack, but watch your backs. If you lose the territory beneath the Com Tower then you can no longer pick up the grav lift in there and are stranded from all the Tripod cabins, leaving only the emergency teleporter exits from the tower and a long journey on foot to reach each territory. A strategic team game stemming from an innovative use of gametype settings and a meticulously forged play area, Com Tower promises hours of fun for all the family.

    Glad we got this one up. It's a true masterpeice in Aesthetic forging coupled with excellent gameplay. My jaw dropped the first time I saw the Com Tower.

    Sexy write up, Sir Delta

    I remember seeing this a long, long time ago. It is a suprise that it took so long to get featured. Congrats on a well deserved feature BattyMan. The tripods are amazing. Like in the war of the worlds.

    I remember downloading this a few weeks back and I thought i was awesome. I did a forge-through, but I never got a proper game on it. I'll have to try to get a few people to play, but I'll probably have to wait until the next TGIF.

    I also DL this a while back, and played and thought it was very fun. I though everyone had forgotten about it, the aesthetics are good, and the originality is awesome. Great Job Batty Man!

    I agree with Linu. But instead of my jaw dropping, my eyes widened! The towers especially the main one are really well made are they have great aesthetics.

    It's sad that I didn't really play a game here yet because it's hard for me to start a party. I hope I can get a game on this soon. This is really the most unique map on Avalanche. The gameplay looks very fun. Congrats.

    NOT TRUE! Though the aesthetics in this map are top notch, it's not an aesthetic focused map. Gameplay is really amazing, try this map out first so you can make a reasonable post next time.

    On to the map! This map has to be one of my favs. Gameplay on this map is pretty competitive, while still feeling casual with all the eye candy. AWESOME MAP, JOINING MY HARD DRIVE AS PERMANENT DISK SPACE.

    I can remember playing this at my friends place, he is a forgehub user and he downloaded this map about a month ago. we didn't use the tripod terrain gametype, instead we used a custom gametype where everyone was fast and had slightly lower damage resistance. This was a hell of a lot of fun. We then downloaded the tripod terrain gametype and played that with some of my friends xbox live friends. turned out to be a thrill of a lifetime. Definitely worth the download and grats to batty on getting it featured.

    I apologize. I realized the gametype had to go with it. it seems like a wildly fun map, almost to the point of competitiveness, i just haven't played it yet. it's 6:34AM while im posting this, ill play it this afternoon.



    still, aesthetics are really nice...

    Wow this has to be one of the only times I've disagreed with the staff on features. I'm definitely not saying this map is garbage, but I do NOT see, what-so-ever, what the big deal is! I played it with my friends a couple hours ago and the gameplay wasn't even close to great. I must've played it wrong or something because when we played, no one in the game liked it. As for aesthetics, top notch. I like the big tower (How it looks on the outside) and merging on avalanche that low is no easy task. The Robots were pretty cool-looking (again, not amazing) and provided enough cover to withstand incoming fire from any angle. Everything else though wasn't satisfying to me. This includes the 2 or so boxes on each territory and lack of weapons.

    This has gotta be some kind of misunderstanding that I'm having and if anyone could explain it to me that would be fantastic. I downloaded the gametype and map so please don't tell me I have to DL to understand.

    I'm sure I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I give this a 2/5 until I fully understand it.
