    Dreamcicle, an adrenaline-powered, fast paced, "visualy pleasing masterpiece," where the action never stops.
    Made for FFA, Dreamcicle incorporates interlocking, geomerging, and highly tested spawns.
    Slayer and Odd ball are working gametypes, although slayer is the most fun. For tons of fun play random weapons
    2-8 players recommended.

    Weapons list
    4x BR-30
    3x AR-30
    needler- 45
    Camo- 120
    OS- 120

    4x frags- 10
    Mauler- 60

    2x Plasma rifle- 60
    Sniper- 120

    --------------------------------------------------
    A Bit of Info
    Dreamcicle was started with one expiramental merge.
    From there on, merges and interlocks pulled the map together.
    The goal of Dreamcicle (other than DLs) was really to have a change from the, colorless and over-used, Foundry.

    Over view of one side. The long platform is used ALOT.
    The circle u see on it is home to a pair of plasma granades. The circle also DOESNT create a bump.
    To the right and left you can see the "lilly pads" There is two merged walkways.
    They meet in the middle above the teleporter on a stand, which has rockets.

    [​IMG]
    The other side of the map. two merges can be seen, one ramp to needler
    and one perge to make a platform for the sniper.also a small bunker with a few stickies.

    [​IMG]
    Flood room has active camo, a BR, spikers and an energy drain.
    The weapons might seem overwhelming but its isnt during actal gameplay.

    [​IMG]
    Over view of flood room 2. It contains two plasma rifles behind the shield door,
    and is close to needler spawn. This is where the teleporters go from the main room.
    Both of the teles are two way and theyre used a lot.

    [​IMG]
    The grav lift is one of the most important things.
    its used to go from the walkways, to the long platform,
    and to the rocket spawn.

    [​IMG]
    The "lilly pads" are quick ways of jumping from the lower levels to the top.
    Theyre very effective and may win you a BR fight.

    This looks nice! Like that you made it on cold storage. Foundry will get old sometimes. I like how you made all of these walk ways and platforms. I also like that you merged together the wall with the big oracle. Nice job on the map. Overall, 5/5.

    This is an incredible map. As much as aesthetics can go on a cold storage map you have really focused on gameplay while making it as aesthetically pleasing as possible. My point being you have made a map with great gameplay but it also has good aesthetics. I am stunned by some of your merges. I believe that the monitor merge was just done by having the head face another way while you placed the wall and when the head turns it interlocks itself.

    I am stunned by some of these merges. Not that I couldn't do them but they look to be very time consuming and difficult with the palette of cold storage. Could you send me a PM with you lineup for these.

    Overall this is an impressive map and I would hope to see more from you in the future. Does this finish off your lineup of heroic and legendary maps. I hope to play some more games on this in the future.

    ACTUALLY, the monitor has an invisable bubble around it. so nomatter where its facing its annoying as hell to merge. u gotta merge it like every thing else. and i dont reccomend merging on CS, the energy blockers are horrible!!!! and the teleporters are cappy braces.
    thanks for the feed back

    on cold storage only, u can stand on senders and two-way
    nodes. i found this out by just fooling around.
    sry bout the RRoD :[

    thanks for the comments everyone :]

    i know people may call this spam, but all i canreally say is wow. this is impressive, and it's done on one of the worst forge maps. 10/10 man... 10/10.

    Impressive.

    I'm glad someone made a map on something OTHER than Foundry. It's very original, and it looks like you put a whole lot of time into this map.

    My favorite part is the grav-lift to the walkway of wall corners. Very creative.

    Interesting, I saw the video on youtube a day ago and I was really impressed of your work. You made Cold Storage feel different in your map which has good aesthetics and some unique structures.

    I strongly suggest keeping only 2 power weapons seeing that this is a medium-sized map. Also, you could have included Juggernaut. Nice job.

    Finally, you posted it.
    I really like helping you out on this map. This is (not just cause I helped) one of the most original coldstorage maps I have seen so far.
    Gameplay was really good, it seems like you did many tests before releasing the map. The spawns were one of my favorites, you added just enough to where you wouldn't spawn by an enemy, but you wouldn't just spawn all the way across the map. To everyone out there, that needs a great map, created on something other than bland foundry, this is the map for you.

    Well I havent paid much attention to cold storage maps but I do like this. plus,WOW, who would have thought to merge the "mama oricle". I never would have thought of that. Thats definitly the most beautiful part of this map, The merging.All of it looks flawless and it pleases me greatly in my dislike for Cold Storage. It does look like it works good for FFA games as I really dont like team games on the original CS anyways. Also, 2 thumbs up for putting a weapons list, I always ask people to do that and you did on your own. Thanks. Great job and this will be my 1st, maybe 2nd DL from Cold Storage.

    this looks like a great map for slayer and its ok considering its on cold storage; the lilly pads are a great idea instead of just using a tele or ramp; the megre of the wall on the mama oracle seems pointless but its funny lol

    Cool map.
    Once I was thinking about spliting the main room of Cold Storage into 2 floors.
    But I dont really know if its possible...

    Anyway, how the hell did you geo the walls??

    to geo merge on CS you have to use energy blockers as you would doors. but they dont work nearly as well.

    This map is great. It's nice to play something super unique (compared to Foundry). The merges are all really well done. My only complaint is that the power weapons and and power ups are a little too dominant.

    Looks like you made cold storage actually worth playing, well done.

    Now only if someone could do the same with isolation.

    thanks for the feed back! :]
    the power weapons and the power ups all have really long spawns. so even though they may seem over whelming, theres only going to be a few times theyre used. i also didnt put any extra clips in rockets and i think only 1 extra clip in the sniper. and normal cold storage has OS, camo, sniper and rockets like Dreamcicle. but during actual game play there isnt any winners based on using power weps.

    thanks, im glad you liked the lilly pads.
    the mama oricle merge was just for fun, the light still shines through.
