ODYSSEY Hello, everybody! This is my FIRST post, so go easy on me. Tell me what to fix and comment so I know for the future. I hope you like it. DESCRIPTION Odyssey is a small, assymetric map that is good for anything but infection and VIP. It's strength gametypes are Team Slayer, FFA, Oddball, and Territorties. Don't discriminate team games just because of it's size. Me and a couble friends play-tested this and it's chaos with a 4v4 match. Smaller that that, it flows nicely, and you can keep track of your progression through the level and know where you are and where you are going because you can see almost the entire map from many points of view. The top rated game on this is 1v1 or 2v2. It is epic. believe me, it's a hectic brawl. But I did keep asthetics in mind. It cleanly interlocked and geo-merged, and I tried to make balanced weapon placement. STORYLINE A group of lone militants take a expedition through the northern borders of China, which has been destroyed due to constant war with the Emperor of China, Kigoto Yan Sen, and Russia's leader, Joseph Stalin III. They're fighting over obvious power for land. The mission: Hunt down and assasinate Joseph Stalin III. He's tried to take over Alaska three times now. Once they captured Japan from China, the Japanese attacked Alaska and Canada to invade the U.S, that being the famous Operation Anchorage, which was a triumphant success. As they made out way through the underbrush and rambles of the forest of Russia, we come upon a small Japanese outpost on a small creek. It looks abandoned. They head in to examine, but suddently, Banzai attackers suprise the sodiers. Typical Jap's. Now they fight in this creek, as water turns to blood, day to night and victory to failure. Put on your helmet and grab a rifle, chief, your goin' in hot. WEAPON LIST -Guns- - 4 AR's - 4 BR's - 1 shotgun - 1 sniper rifle - 1 beam rifle - 1 needler - 2 spikers 4 plasma - 4 plasma rifles - 2 SMG's - 2 Covenant Carbines - 2 plasma pistols - 2 magnums - 1 sword - 1 gravity hammer - 1 fuel rod gun -Equipment- - 4 frag grenades - 4 plasma grenades - 2 spike grenades - 2 fire bombs - 1 overshield - 1 active camo - 1 bubble shield - 1 regenerator Let me explain. There are different weapons in symmetric and asymmetric games. Look at the pictures, they'll explain what I mean. Overview (Symmetrical) Overview (Asymmetrical) Temple/Shotgun spawn/American spawn Bunker/Japanese spawn Sniper tower/Sniper/Beam rifle spawns Bridge/OS/AC spawns Looking in Bridge/SMG spawn Creek/Sword/Gravity hammer spawn Barricade Path/Spiker spawn Here's where the symmetric and asymmetric parts kick in. Symmetric Asymmetric Symmetric Asymmetric Symmetric Asymmetric This part of the map is a very innovative design. The Fueel rod cannon spawn is on the fence perch, but in Symmetric games it is blocked off so that no team can dominate the battlefield. The man-cannon at that edge of the creek lifts you up to the tunnel behind the barricade path by a fence wall. But in Asymmetric games, that fence wall is taken out, and so are the fence boxes blocking you from jumping up there and a higher fence wall is there now. Now if you go in the man-cannon you appear at a once closed off area of the map nad a new weapon to bring some spice into your killing spree. Symmetric Asymmetric Platform/Fuel rod cannon spawn And of course, who can forget the creator of this map, Dylan! (me) Dylanpwns u27 Awesome action shot (I call it "Shockwave Soldier") There you have it. The battle at Odyssey Creek still rages on. There's just one more question: Will you join the fight? Ship out to Odyssey Creek and see the fate of the soldiers in your hands! (Batteries, Japanese soldiers, and XBOX Live players not included.) DOWNLOAD ODYSSEY HERE
Ok first of all, the story line is great,lol. Grad a helmet and a rihfle chief, your goin in hot.lol. But now to the map It has very good gameplay for small teams but isn't good at all for teams like 4v4 or 5v5. It has really good interlocking in some places but in other places it seems like you may have slacked a little bit because it's not even nor interlocked at all in some places. The towers are veryg good and they feel just like houses, you did a very good job on the roofsbut all in all,this map is a success
this is excellent for a first post, in-fact this would be great for a normal post. i like it all around, nice aesthetics, weapons layout is nice everything seems good. I like the story too lol stalin the third ... I think the only thing that you could change would be to fix those barriers, they look a little crooked to me
Well thank you for your review, star of knights. Funny you said that my friend was talkin 2 me bout that some places I need 2 fix up some interlockin so ill start a V2 soon
if you can or want to (lol) can you tell me where or which places need cleaning up? not hat i think its perfect it just i might not see wat u see
Oh wow triple post is not a good idea. Just edit the first one and delete the other two by clicking editing and clicking "go advanced". For the map, some parts are kindy messy like said before and i kinda get a feeling like there are Too many power weapons, try to stick to one or two since this is such a small map. But it's still pretty dang good for a first post 4/5
Amazing for a first post. Not usually are games tuned differently asymmetric and symmetric so good job with that. It also has great aesthetics some things don't look straight like some barricades and those flipped windows in the sniper tower. GJ
For your first map on forgehub, i must say, this map is pretty exceptional. The aesthetics absolutely blow my mind, and I love how symetrical it is, although I would choose sword over hammer anytime lol. Haven't seen a good foundry map in a long time, and you've won my DL. Even though I won't be able to play it, because I have no connection to my xbox ATM, I'm still dl'ing. 5/5 great job.
I can tell that you gave this map a lot of time and your problaby going to get a infraction or two from posting, but dont let it get you down, I did the same thing when I first posted. Just learn how the forum works and go by the rules. Trust me I know how over excited one can get when post their first map. The merging is pretty good for a first timer, you may want to consider changing a few things around and make a second version. Just dont tripple post.
Wow, I thought that this was made by a senior member, and then i read 'THIS IS MY FIRST POST" and I thought, DAMN, Im so jealous of his Forging SK1LLZ. But seriously, this is an amazing first post, and I am definately going to download... I expect that if you improve from this point forward, because you know the cliche saying "You can only improve from here," You should make an incredible forger, who knows, maybe even Premium one day...
I gotta say for first post not bad but alot of people say this. first post just means u got all of forge hub rules right and nothing to do with the way your map looks we have all made maps for a long time on foundry and i made maps over a year before i put one on here i would just download and learn like the rest... with that said this map is very sloppy , alot of things are very very crooked to get everything sorta straight u would have to start all over .. sorry for the feedback just being honest not rude at all lol u say senior member u thought the guy above me..... what is unbeleivable about anything tell me the pic i wanna see what im missing and dont say the roofs everybodys map now has that ... its tired ,oh by the way y is there 2 snipers on this smallll level u should edit that now
thx man ye ain the posts above I'm goin 2 make a v2 but I need a little more detail on what to fix so help plz! Butt hank u all for reviewing
no if you read the post it said the sniper spawns on SYMMETRICAL games and the beam rifle spawns on ASYMMETRIC games. And thank you for being so criticive! I need more ppl like you to help with my experience here so thx.
Yeah Dylan! this map is awesome. Im the friend that told him about the crooked stuff but great succes
thx zack dude u finally got a account nice map a map and welcome 2 the community zack (p.s. go on xbox nub)
Wow! This looks really cool. I like the bunker type things. Really nice forgeing, although there are a couple spots that could be improved. 4/5.
