    A very unique map, consisting of (you guessed it) lots of tunnels, but not just that. I didnt want to make a boring map so theres a few features that set it from other maps.


    • A completely diagonal section to the map

    • A very very tall elevator ;D

    • A section you can only reach by using equipment hidden nearby :)
    Not really much else to say about it other than, give it a try!
    Designed for freeforall slayer types.

    Just a quick note, the elevator takes you through the teleporters and shoots you very close to a killball, the idea being that not every time you'll make it, and if you do, you are awarded with a custom powerup and a sword (if you time the grab right). Generally, the custom powerup will give you 150% speed.

    I will add a gametype designed this map soon enough that will feature a more complicated custom powerup.

    As its generally a inside, small spaced map, screenshots of the inside were quite hard to take/boring, so i'll put some outside shots to give you an idea of its layout.

    Yeah, the diagonal part is pretty epic, but I'm not so sure about gameplay on this one. Worth a dl however.

    The diagonal part makes me remember that I want Buddha to do a Distortion remake on Sandbox =P

    Also, does this "hidden" area involve throwing that screenshotted bubble shield into a killball to pass through it? I've heard that you can do that, and was going to have a similar easter egg in my map =).

    Wow.. The map looks amazing! I love the tunnels at the far right of the last pic. Gonna try this map out and see how it plays. The slanted tunnels are awesome!

    5/5 so far. Gameplay is the most important besides the aesthetics.

    I look at map, and... wow! It really is unique. The combination of using TWO levels of sandbox is really creative, and the first map i've seen to do so. the diagonal rooms are simply brilliant, and sadly underused in maps nowadays. The elevator, brilliant. But, are there weps on map aside from sword?? I'm not sure how gameplay is, but the map is brilliant.

    Sorry yeah there are balanced weapons on the map, br's, carbines, some duals, some power weapons.. Theres only one sword on the map.
    The secret area isnt using a bubble shield on the killball but thats a good idea to ensure your survival through that teleporter.

    It includes the portable grav lift found on the upper(red) section of the map..
    now take a look at that screenshot again - or go in forge and have a fly around in the sky bubble check out the outside of the tunnel - should give an insight about the secret "area".. its more a hidden power weapon + powerup+teleporter back into the map.

    The gameplay is alright but im going to upload a gametype with slightly faster speed and optimised settings as soon as i get round to changing one thing.

    Thanks for the feedback, tell your friends bout the map and tell them to watch out for more maps by me because i LOVE sandbox and have so many more ideas.. going to make an infection map that forces the humans to evacuate through exploding sections quite like the first level of halo 1 :)
    Also note that i'm going to be adding a lot more interlinked objects into my maps.

    hmm...

    This one looks... ummm... Interesting. Overall it looks really cool from the outside. Im just curious as to how the gameplay would be. Seems to be alot of dead ends. Perhaps that was your intention tho? I think I might give this a download anyways tho, just to see what its all about. I am planning on making a map soon and maybe this will inspire in some odd way. GJ on creativity.. The elevator looks fun.. lol

    *thumbs up!*

    It looks like a nice map, I like the look of the multiple levels and slanted combat, it makes it seem more built up and more structured,
    5/5 as it will be copied by more experienced forgers but this will remain original.
