(Bigger picture of the one above) Link to V1 The Battle Room is a Team BR map within a giant room. You start off with your team and you drop down to the first floor and either wait for the other team to come to you or you can just rush out and attack anyone who is open. There are no weapons on the map because you should spawn with a BR and a Magnum. Here is a Quick sketch of what the map looks like from a birds eye view (picture of V1 but similar enough to show what the V2 looks like): From the sketch above you can see that there are four spawn rooms, which like like this in forge: Spawn rooms: Back of the Spawn Rooms: Front of the Spawn Rooms: Looking down from the Spawn Rooms: In the V1 you could see outside the map because of poor forging ideas for the drop down part of the Spawn Rooms. As you can see from the pictures, you can no longer see outside of the map when you drop down. That and the forging is much neater. After you drop down, you will come to two open single boxes with a Shield Door blocking the incoming bullets that may be fired toward you. The only thing different from the V1 at this point is that the Shield Doors have been lowered slightly so you can throw grenades into the room. View from bottom Spawn Room: View from the Main Room: If you choose to go out into the Main Room, you will see something like this: Bottom of the room: (Yes that is a Purple Power up!) Roof of the Main Room View from the center hole: Now if people stay up in the Spawn Rooms and don't drop down, Fusion Coils spawn after 20 seconds. View of the front with Fusion Coils: View of the back with Fusion Coils: Created by Cyan Laser Link to Download (Game type is basically just Br start with Magnum) Sorry for not putting enough information here in the first post. Ok ... I do not know my reasoning for waiting so long to put this up, but it is finally up (V2 was finished around 2 weeks after the V1, November 6, 2008). The main reason why I am putting this up now is because I'm trying to get people to know about my maps. I will be trying to put some of my other maps on here soon... (some are better some are... yeah...). Also... Please do not tell me how bad this map is. I have been make other maps lately so I have gotten better. This was just the first map I decided to put on Forge Hub...
Battle room V2 Battle Room V2; Very smooth; I particularly like the way you've forced everyone to get into the fight, by killing off the campers, and the grenade gaps. This is exactly the sort of game I play when I have freinds around, and this one seems cheatproof. The interlocking seems very smooth, from the screenshots I didn't manage to see any rough edges between objects. The middle structure makes things more interesting, it gives players a little amount of cover, but not enough to stop the rest rushing them. The fusion coils at the top are a smart idea, some of my freinds at halo try to avoid combat with me, so this should force them into the fight. Overall, you've got a definate download from me, and a four out of five rating, as the post could use more detail. My favourite part would be the roof of the main battle room, it's stunning ^^ Congrats! P.S... FIRST! Edit; Crap, i forgot to rate and now it won't let me.. Sorry
I like the idea, but it's just way too small, and its been done so many times. First off, the fusion coils make it extremely nooby, and spawning so close to everyone is just asking for spawn killing.
Sorry for not putting enough Information in the post; It is fixed now. The reason I didn't put the information in the first place was because I thought people would look at the V1 thread. This just proved my theory wrong... The only reason the Fusion Coils are there is because some people will not follow the rules and stay up in the spawn room the entire game. On the original game type I had for this Map, you had only one life and a 2 to 3 minute time limit to kill everyone, but if some one stays up in the Spawn Room the entire game, it ruins the game play... Also only one team spawns in the same Spawn room. There can be up to four teams and each team has a maximum of five players per team, you may choose to have big teams or not but it is all up to you.
If you don't want people to stay in the spawn room, you could just use man cannons. Then you could avoid using fusion coils. As for me, I'm not much of a fan for arena like battle maps, but it looks alright. I would recommend having some objects to stand on. Battling in a small room on the ground floor of foundry could get bland eventually. But for a first map posting, this isn't bad at all.
