    First post for me
    ok i remade the vent cause i did not like the trash compacter. i made a V1 but it wasn't good enough to post. here are some pics and descriptions...
    [​IMG]
    Zombie spawn includes Tripmine and Powerdrain and close to the spawn is warthogs with barricades in front of them to push.
    [​IMG]
    this is the ball dispenser (use golf club if u stand in front of it the u risk being knocked down with the balls.
    [​IMG]
    this is the warthogs spawn
    [​IMG]
    the best thing to do here is push the outer ones with the inner ones and then jump out and use golf club also the gravity lift is one of 3 ways up
    [​IMG]
    the fusion coils is one of the 2 ways to deal with people who camp in the cannon man area and then there is a lot of barricades also there is a small set of grenades behind fusion coils witch is the other way to kill campers
    [​IMG]
    ok for the radio antina the best way to get them in is jump and hit it about the center and it'll fly right in there also there is granades next to antina
    then theres a lot of monguses for u to knock off

    heres the best part about it
    [​IMG]
    the backs opened up so it can't get cloged and also campers could hit ,an cannons by acident and fly into Killballs.
    [​IMG]
    that is all i had a picture of the human spawn hut it didn't show up when i went to haloscreenshots website

    map: SandVent V2
    game: Air

    this map looks good but it could use more interlocking and some pics from the vent and action pics would be good so we can see how big the actual vent is.. also did u make the back of the vent a wall or killball?

    I personally liked the old trash compacter much better. This one seems to be shabbily thrown together in a giant mess. I understand where you tried to make improvements, but they don't get noticed on a very sloppy map. One of the great things about the original is how clean it was. You should have also explained how this one is better than the old one and why you didn't like the old one. No DL from me, I'm going to stick to the classic.

    Overall-don't try to improve on something so fun-2/5

    Yes, it is an actual map. It is based off a mini game map called "Trash Compacter" that was originally on foundry. The object of the game is similar to that of "Hurricane Katrina" except you can actually get points with this.

    If you do not know what Hurricane Katrina was, it is a map, also on Foundry, in which movable objects would slide down veritally set stairs, ( set like this ---> \) into man cannons, and fly at you at high velocities. You had to dodge the many items and do that until you got bored. I do not think there was a gametype.....

    Trash Compacter took that concept to a whole new level. The humans spawned in a long tunnel and up against the wall. The zombie(s) spawned on a platform above the tunnel entrance with a plethora of movable objects. They would hit the objects into the tunnel, which would be propelled at the humans via Man Cannons and, if the humans were slow, splatter said humans.

    This is Trash Compacter tweaked a little bit and put on Sandbox, so yes, real map, real fun.

    As for the map, It looks like a really good version. I especially like the golf ball dispenser, and the "anti-clog Mechanism" (killball). The only thing I can see that would need to be improved is the actual cleaness of the map. Just from the pictures I can see that it is bumpy. Fix that up (or have someone else do it) on a V3 and you'll have yourself a really good map. 5/7 and a DL

    Meh. If your going to re-create something already done to near prefection, you would have to make a damn good remake, or add in some new twist. And you've done neither. Perhaps you could make it so that the people in the vent can escape in some way at a certain point in the game? Change up the items? Change some atributes? There are many things you could have done, and you didn't.

    I think its funny that you just rip people for some of their maps recently on here but you put this map up like its great. I hate coming on here and telling someone their map is stupid but this really does look bad. Used and boring idea and poorly constructed.

    1/5.

    This map is sweet. I loved the original Vent and I think you made it a lot better. I love the open back. 5/5
