Originally created on: 11/06/08 (Click to view larger image) Arena, similar to The Battle Room, is just a room to kill people. Yes... I know this is a simple idea that almost everyone has done before... This should have been my first map but for some reason I posted The Battle Room instead, so now I post it (before the Mythic Map Pack is released to the majority of the public). Arena is a small Free For All Map with a Maximum of 4 players. Here is a sketch to show you what the map looks like: As you can see from the sketch, there are four spawn rooms, each with one spawn point: When you spawn all you see is a Custom Power up and a crate (like what the comic part of the sketch shows): After the game starts and you spawn, you head strait for the Custom Power up. Do not stop, go all the way forward or you will face the consequences! If you did follow the rule in bold above you should end up in the Main Room: Now before you start yelling at me about the weapons on the map, I must tell you that you should change the Game type so that there are 10 rounds, one life, Random weapons start for you, and then random no power weapons start on the map. Also don't forget to change the Custom Power up traits so that it does nothing. If this map is played properly you will have some fun and it will last for a short time because each round takes around one minute. Click Here to download Arena Created by Cyan Laser on 11/06/08
I love your sketch! I like to draw up my maps before i build them as well. Its quicker that way. This looks like a well made arena. The elevators were a good idea. Haha what exactly happens to us if we don't obey the rule and go strait for the powerup? I guess i'll have to download this to find out. And why are there weapons on the map if it is meant to be played with random starts? just curious...
I like the looks of this map. The elevators were a great idea. You should change the name though, arena is one of the most overused map names ever. I will DL, looks fun.
I'll try this soon, but from the looks of it, it doesn't look that good, from above you can see(and more importantly.. SHOOT) through the floor to a spawn point. I can see this being abused often. Although I must say it's a fairly interesting concept, maybe make the arena a wee bit bigger , add something inside of the arena for more dynamic play, and then fix the problem I just talked about, but I'll download and give it a shot.
There was a point in using Fence Walls for the floor, all of the people spawn at the same time and everyone has one life so it goes by really fast. If some one doesn't go into the lift when they spawn then its their fault for getting 'spawned killed'. The last thing I have to say is, if you look in my post and find the bold part were I say "Do not stop, go all the way forward or you will face the consequences!" The Consequences that I'm talking about is getting trapped in the Spawn Room. If someone does get trapped in there, the other players have to be able to see them because the elevator doesn't spawn back properly so there is almost no way of getting back out, unless you destroy the lift.
