    Map Description
    This is my first post on Forgehub so please be nice =). Okay, so this is a puzzle map I made on sandbox. It is quite difficult, and most people who tested this map needed at least a couple hints. Every puzzle in this map is not necessarily completely original, but to make up for this I mixed a couple different ideas into one super idea. I mean that you made need to bring pieces of different puzzles into the next puzzle in order to complete them. It is original in its own sence. NOTE: PICTURES CONTAIN SPOILERS!



    Puzzle 1 - Obstacle 1: Hmm this looks like the original sandbox... maybe you should take a closer look...

    Puzzle 1 - Obstacle 2: Hmmm..
    [​IMG]

    Puzzle 2 - Obstacle 1: How am I supposed to get over there?
    [​IMG]

    Puzzle 2 - Obstacle 2: I made it but I have the feeling I forgot something...
    [​IMG]

    Puzzle 3 - Obstacle 2: Where could I find something to shield me from that?
    [​IMG]

    Puzzle 3 - Obstacle 3: Aha! A rocket! But i'll need some equipment to get it to lift off...
    [​IMG]

    Puzzle 3 - Obstacle 4: Maybe ill need some more equipment to get this down... (No picture)

    Puzzle 4 Obstacle 1: Im so close...

    Wow first puzzle map ive seen, ill DL ASAP. (wow my active transfers list is gonna be big).
    I know what u mean by saying its quite tricky, it looks pretty complicated from the pictures, but its probably easier to see what youre supposed to do in-game. Anyway, good first post, better than my only map on this forum. Noone DL's it cos its Pre-DLC and average :[.
    Some ppl may not like the lack of interlocking, but personally i dont give a $#!*, it only really matters on aesthetic maps i think.

    Bravo man, Bravo. Clearly you put in the effort to design a challenging yet doable puzzle map that is listed in separate parts and isn't scattered like some sort of "Saw" Jigsaw game. 5/5 for this again Bravo.

    the teleporter to get sniper only spawns there in forge mode
    and its impossible to get to the teleporter even with two grav lifts

    the radar jammer part is gay

    and we gave up
    looks nice, doesn't work

    Dude it does work i have played through it multiple times and so have many other people. The two gravlifts can get you to the top its just difficult. If you are not skilled enough to beat it dont go saying this map doesnt work cause its does. If you want I can send you a walkthrough.

    Very tricky!

    this is really hard. I can't even get past the first part, lol. Are the magnums in a weird shape a clue?

    This is a great map, its very creative and well thought out. Its well made and also quite challenging. I may not look like it is from the pictures but trust me it is. 5/5 and you have my download!

    If your a seasoned puzzler, this one is pretty dang easy. the obstacles are not very original as you stated, but i still got a kick out of it. alright for a first.
