Bloody Orbit (5v5 or more works best) The Map The Gametype _______________________________________________________ This is a map that really shows what sandbox can do, what had been attempted to be made on maps like Avalanche is now easy on sandbox with twice the budget and now a skybubble so you can’t just walk around outside the spaceship. Bloody Orbit is my ship map, 'mr shago' and 'A27 STARWOLF' and myself 'King Of Kashmir' have managed to create what promises to be an epic space battle between 2 ships trying to plant the bomb in each other’s bases. ___________________________________________________________ The Gametype: The only Gametype created so far is Assault, called 'Space Combat' with special rules involving the custom powerup in the station making you stronger and several rules about the bomb planting. We may create more later on, but this seemed the most fun after watching the countdown timer go down, sitting back safely in your ship and watching the enemies explode... To carry the bomb to the enemy ship you will need hornets, these are proper hornets with missiles so are not to be underestimated just because they are being used for transport. With the hornet in each ship are 2 banshees, these are used for fighter protection (destroying the other banshees, hornets and ship flak cannons). A maximum of 3 people in the hornet, 2 in the banshees, which leaves whoever left stuck in the ship, these people can now control the ships flak guns. The flak guns consist of 2 stationary choppers in one (choppers guns are extremely effective) and a chopper and 2 plasma cannons in the other. The people on these will be trying to help take out enemy aircraft to stop them landing the bomb on their ship or by trying to shoot the enemy ships flak guns. ____________________________________________ The map: In between the 2 ships lies a miniature dwarf star (yes I know, it's actually a killball) this is partly for perspective, showing where the bottom of the map is and where you don’t want to fly beneath less you blow up on the height barrier, it is extremely useful trust me. Also set off the side of the map is a neutral station with docking pads for hornets. Banshees cannot land in the station (well they can but not well and are a bugger to get out of). This station is almost a resting point on the map, that you can use as cover and safety, in it lie light anti air weapons such as a fuel rod gun and two sentinel beams. You can also pick up the custom power up and cause even more destruction. ____________________________________________________ Weapons on map: Bruteshot x2 Sentinal beam X2 Fuel rodX2 Misslepod x2 Trust me you won’t need many weapons. I recommend using the sword as the primary weapon. ____________________________________________________________________ SCREENSHOTS!

Thankyou so much to all those that helped with the creation of this map (starwolf and shago) and those who remained patient through its many bugged playtests. We couldn't have made this map without you. and for those of you that missed the link at the top here it is again! The Map The Gametype Please rate and download!
you should embed the pics and use a different font color. can barly see it. other than that it looks like a we built map unique.
Your pics are waaaay too small. But from them this looks really interesting. I have been seeing alot of maps with gloomy effect on and it kinda of makes things hard to see. But i guess it works out, since your going for a spooky look??
wow. all i can say. from the first pic plus the description i can tell this is going to be one hell of a map. it seems like it would play sort of like star wars... that one mission where you invade the star destroyer and take it over.... at least to me. i really wish you had your pics larger so i could see the whole map but i will check the thread later and hopefully see what this map really is
Can't believe I didn't think of this! Great job, 5/5, but one thing you should do is put Reciever nodes on the grid, so people know they're screwed if they fly below that. (they won't always be facing the killball) Keep making maps, because this one is great!
wow, this looks cool. I downloaded it, wow didn't realize my hard drive was gettin filled, , well anyways, it looks good and I hope it gets popular. P.s - nice design!
ok so this is the first map I've posted, all the images are finally working and its got the info, I didnt rate on my own map as so many others have been flamed for but any criticism you have I will consider and try to rectify. thanks! from Kashmir/elderbury wow thanks for all the support guys! didnt even think it was that good a map but i guess like any map maker i can only see all the tiny flaws in my maps ^_^ and good idea with the reciever nodes, I might be making another map and I'll consider useing that idea. Keep the comments going people
Congratulations on having the conviction to put together a map with a huge amount of flair, and packaging it together competitively. Love to see people breaking the mould and the monotony of map after map that looks and plays far to similarly to the last. Kudos!
hey man this looks like a really great map... the idea is really good with the air combat and bombing bases it brings back the great memories of star wars battlefront 2 space battles lol... I looks like a great map i'm going to try and get a party to try this thing =)
I really like it i think people would camp with the hornet but anyways i love it you should make something like this exept its inside. but this map is very asthetic and seems to play good too!! 4.7/5
dang. now you got these pics up im gona be truthful: this map looks grrreat id love to see the flak cannon area tho. and yes: this does remind me of starwars as i stated before and that mission was always lots of fun. hmmm maybe this could work for infection.... the humans are on one ship and the zombs come and try to get them with the ships.... i think thatd work with some tweaks. great job! i look forward to your future maps
what do you mean by fixtures? oh and sorry about the delay for the next ship map people, unfortunately i broke forge somehow and my items in this map no longer register movement without a save and exit each time. dont worry though, another month and this bloody orbit map will be the first of a sequel, another few months and maybe of a trilogy...
