    LINK TO GAMETYPE HERE! Enjoy! :)

    My latest and(hopefully!) greatest map is called DestructionEve. It is a map based on a demolition derby game mode in a game called Test Drive: Eve of Destruction, but it has a twist.

    This map is a circular arena that took over 5 hours to make! It uses interlocking objects, and it really looks nice. :) Around the edges of the map, on the ground, are fusion coils and propane tanks that explode non-stop. So if you fall off, you are toast! If you don't die immediately once down there, do not fear, you won't last long! You start off with hogs on raised ramps above the map.

    The twist might not sound like much, but it really affects gameplay. In the very middle of the map, there is a gravity lift sunk down into a box. So when you cross the middle of the map, you are lifted slightly; it can either work for you, or against you! It really adds a lot of excitement. There are four cones that surround the box with the gravity lift in it, just incase you forget where it is. :)

    The gametype is just basically lower health, high gravity, slow speed, 10 3 minute rounds, 0% damage, and 1 life each round. It is KOTH, and when you are the last man standing, you get 1 point.

    The map really is a blast to play! Four people all pushing eachother off the arena at once is very exciting and enjoyable to take part in. Sometimes when you fall off the edge, you can get a miracle bounce off the fusion coils, and still survive; it is so fun! If you enjoy driving, demolition derby, and not-stop action, then DestructionEve is the map for you! Don't forget to download the gametype at the top of this post too! ENJOY! :)

    UPDATE: Scoring system now works great. There are 10 rounds, 3 minutes each. Last man standing gets a point. Tie is no points. The only way to cheat (you, nor others will get points, resulting in ties) is to not attempt to play, but that is no fun! :)

    I guess the only honor rule is to actually enter the ring, and not hide (although sometimes when you don't enter, you somehow get knocked off by a fusion coil). As that guy said, I could make man cannons that spawn at the 10 second mark so you don't cheat! :) The game doesn't actually give you a point if you win(any tips on how to do that?), but you will know when you win. There is no timelimit. I will use photobucket next time, you can click on these pictures to make them bigger if you want! :)

    to give point scoring u could make it KOTH. and u get uncontested hill points. make the hill not include the starting ramps...so they have to come in eventually. the koth point idea was used in another demo derby map i saw here...

    I was thinking about making the whole map a hill, so the last man standing truely wins. But then people can sit on the ramps. So I could make the hill the whole map but the ramps, but then maybe the first person to get into the hill will get a point (if this works it will fix all the problems of scoring!). I will mess around with that, thanks for the suggestion! :)

    Great map, really well designed. Have only played with a couple people so far, but I'm sure it will be even better with 4. Good job on this map.

    Great job with the circle! I had trouble with one of my demo derby maps that had a central item in the middle

    Glad you guys like it! The circle was very frustrating and took hours to make. Thanks for the positive comments! :)
