Description:
This is a 1v1 slayer map that i made on foundry. Naturally foundry is a nasty, dirty old warehouse. So i set out to make a small symmetrical map that wouldnt look like foundry, it would look like its own level. To do this, i had to use a lot of interlocking. I did my best on this map and considering 90% of this map involves interlocking, i think i did a fairly nice job.

This is my first map that has used this humungous amount of interlocking, so therefore, it may not be as polished as some of you couldve made it. please do not give me crap for this, try to give me some constructive critisism.

i made a video of my map to make sure you see all aspects of it. The video does not have sound so i am here now to explain some things about it.

When i zoom in on the teleporters on the sides, i am showing where they lead to. not too complicated.

EDIT: VIDEO IS NOT WORKIN RIGHT NOW, IM WORKING ON GETTING IT FIXED
DOUBLE EDIT: This is as close as i can get to embeded follow this link, it will open a new window and should start playing immediatley.

here is the link to the original video:

this video was made before i made the final adjustments to clean the map up a little bit. please keep this in mind.

Weapons:
10 Battle rifles
2 needlers
2 smgs
2 plasma rifles
4 spike grenades
2 plasma grenades
2 firebomb grenades
4 frag grenades
4 spikers
1 oversheild
1 bubble sheild
1 deployable cover

When playing this map, i noticed a few things:
1. The halo 2 combo of smg/ plasma rifle, it owns on this level.
2. Use strategy when entering the water hole, it can really play to your advantage when used correctly.
3. Cycle through this map, meaning when you kill someone, reload while going through the teleporters. Also by doing this, the oversheid spawns fast, so you have a good chance of getting it. Another thing about the teleporters is, if you are down in the water hole, when the defender spawns, they wont be able to see that your in there.
4. Remember to use radar, can be useful when in water hole, or to catch someone in the trench.
5. Be causious when running around in the trench, there are fusion coils, lurking around corners, you never know what a random grenade can do to you.







Thats about all i can think of for now so if you download this, i thank you

also thanks to everyone who tested

yah the video is about 2 minutes, it shouldnt take long to load up though, it loads fast and my computers iq is like 3.7 but anyways, the interlocking around the center of the map was a lil rough, but i smoothed it up by putting barrels in the empty spaces, along with fusion coils and pallets.

played really smooth when i tested it.

try to leave feedback, once you play it, so i know what to improve on.

thanks

 

lol im always up for a challenge

are you good?

 

Really, ima have to check that out.

EDIT: yah after seeing unchained, i kinda see the resemblence, but this isnt as complex as that is though. This map i was going for a more straightforward run and gun type map.

thanx for the commments guyz, try to tell what you dont like about it, if there is something you dont llike.
