    Point Vantage

    For the sake of simplicity, I'll keep it as short as possible

    Point Vantage -the name is still under mild deliberation, analogical to that of a frog to a fly out of the current name's favor - is a map that branched off from one thought, Matchmaking (hence its beta testing status). The map exhibits almost perfect geometric symmetry - nothing is ever truly identical. It incorporates some themes from Sandbox the original, but those of which were adopted have been thoroughly disfigured and mutilated to the point of only a rough resemblance... In a nice way. The structure is simple, a base map where staying in the base is less appealing than it initially may seem.

    There are/is;

    1 Hornet *Transport*
    2 Mongooses
    &
    2 Warthogs (hidden from sight in garages on the right side of the bases *from behind*)


    2 Missile pods
    2 Sniper rifles
    2 Rocket launchers
    6 Battle Rifles
    2 Assault Rifles
    4 SMGs
    2 Regenerators
    1 Power Drain
    1 Bubble sheild
    &
    1 Overshield

    Sorry folks, that's all I can say for now with my limited time. Download it and take it for a spin.


    *Status* currently working on next map. Will feature sand merging!

    Honestly, I couldn't agree more, the only reason it's the only one I have up is because drop shock and conglomeration (my maps that example considerably better forging) have corrupted picture files.

    If they have corrupted pictures, why don't you just take new ones?

    Anyways, on topic. The map is quite bland and a little too simple for me. It showcases some good forging, just not a good amount of cover and structures.

    Overall ok job, hope to see other stuff from you soon.

    Edit the post to include weapons, equipment and all that. That would help.

    Anyways...

    Pretty impressive, getting the map to be (almost) symmetrical when the bases are at an angle to the grid. The construction looks clean, and I don't see any misalignment that are an eyesore.

    Usually hornets tend to be very overpowered on maps (unless there are a lot of counter-measures such as tanks or missile pods, like on Avalanche Heavy). For a small-medium sized map, it would probably be best to avoid putting a hornet on it. Unless you have some missile pods on the map, I would replace the hornet with a warthog and some mongooses at each base.

    (If that's a transport hornet, then you can completely disregard the preceding paragraph. It's hard to tell from the pics).

    It looks like it will work well for any symmetrical gameplay though.

    4.5/5

    ok first i would just like to say only giving a coment about the map that is like a couple words then giving a little pointless rating should be spam..... ok for the map itd be nice to see some up close pics of the bases instead of 3 overviews that all look the same...but this looks like a nice map for stuff like bigteam slayer if you edited it and added more vehicles like a chopper or warthog or even some mongeese behind the bases and i would also suggest replacing the hornet with a banshee but it is nice placement for a flying vehicle nice forging

    Sorry guys, about the delay.

    But answering ALL of your questions had to wait.

    Firstly, I cannot resume picture taking as to get pics of either Drop Shock or Conglomeration due to E74...

    Secondly, As with my incapability to create shots currently, I cannot show that there are a total of 5 vehicals on the map (2 Warthogs, 2 Mongooses and the Hornet *Transport*)

    Thirdly,

    There are/is;
    2 Missile pods
    2 Sniper rifles
    2 Rocket launchers
    6 Battle Rifles
    2 Assault Rifles
    4 SMGs
    2 Regenerators
    1 Power Drain
    1 Bubble sheild
    &
    1 Overshield
