    Hey forging community. Today I bring you my first map post to forgehub. It is a FFA, 1v1, or 2v2 map. It was originally entitled lithium but i was informed that the name was taken. This is an asymmetrical map. In testing we found that for FFA, 5 people is the best number but 6 is fine to. 2v2s are the max I recommend for teams because after that it becomes way to chaotic. Also, it does support hill but the spawns are not very good so thats up to you. Keep in mind that this is my first map so constructive criticism is nice. I plan to make a v2 at some point so keep the suggestions rolling.

    Now on to the good stuf . . .

    WEAPONS LIST

    Assult Rifle x4
    Battle Rifle x5
    Smg x2
    Spiker x1
    Magnum x2
    Plasma Pistol x1
    Plasma Rifle x2
    Needler x1
    Carbinde x1
    Sniper x2 ( with only 4 shots each as not to be overpowering)
    Rocket x1 ( with only 2 shots for same reason)
    Bubble Shield x1
    Regenerator x1

    It's a great job for your first map on forgehub. I love the architecture used in this map (The bunker/sniper cubby is very unique i cant recall seeing it anywhere. good job).

    I look forward to see what your next map(s) will look like.

    4/5

    Hey, Hectic. Nice to see you posted it. As this is my first time on ForgeHub since about last September, I'd figure my first post should go to this. I really liked the map, playing on it was fun. There were some problems but they weren't big. Nice job making the map, I was just glad to help!

    Thanks for freezing my computer with your huge screenshots, next time make them a little smaller so they don't take a long time to load.

    Ok, I like this map, I really like good team doubles matches. This map should play well with that. There are parts of the map that do seem a bit open and one team can easily predict the spawning of the other team when they die. What I mean by this is, as soon as they kill both people they look around and you see them pop up on your screen across the map.

    Nice job though

    I think it was just your computer that messed with the screenshots. not a big deal though. thanks for the feedback. the pics do make it seem a bit open but its really not if you play it. yes, sometimes spawns are easy to predict but there are really only a few that spawn out of cover. i did my best!

    Let me know what you guys think of the gameplay. I am open to any suggestions for a v2 so just keep me posted.

    This is really good for a first map post. At least you did everything right unlike most first posts.

    The map is very good. I don't see any problems with your forging from the pictures. The only thing I see wrong is the amount of jumping required to get around the map. Jumps usually tend to hinder gameplay more than they help it. Therefore, the only thing I suggest right now is to replace most of your jumps with ramps/stairways.

    EDIT* In your second picture, that structure you have made out of corner walls has to go. Replace it with something more original (Those two corner walls like that are in half of the maps out there) and make it so it flows better. What you have there is basically just giant wall in terms of movement around the map.

    Those "huge" screenshots that "froze" your computer are actually the average sized screenshots used on ForgeHub. You must have a really crappy computer or something, because smaller screenshots don't really show much.

    Also, I know sandbox is the new thing now but i am still in love with foundry. I just like the UNSC look better. let me know what you think.
