    Stench Pit
    (download map)

    [​IMG]When I started building this map I had two distinct goals. I wanted a map with a layer of floating platforms where you could easily hop from one to another. And I also wanted enough room on the floor so that you could easily drive a ghost around without too much trouble. I felt like this combination would create a nice layered experience for the players. And for the most part, I think I was right. Through the first few playtests I've found that Slayer and KOTH variants are the most enjoyable. Please download Stench Pit and leave comments, positive or negative. Thanks!

    The map has some pretty good cover, the gameplay is usually fast paced with quite a lot of action, and the level is built quite well good job. This is a very good and you should be proud of it. I'm sure just about everyone would have fun with this map, everyone except a few very veteraned forgers. I'm certainly not a very veteraned forger and I had fun on this map, but I say this because there is nothing original, nothing to spice up the action in this map. Good job though it is a good map, just try to incorporate more originality in your future forge creations. Hope I have helped and good luck with future forging.

    Thanks for the positive comments. And I can understand your concerns, but that wasn't necessarily my goal for this map.

    I dug this map. Great use of floating objects and interlocking. There isn't anything too fancy going on on this map but it's great for slayer none-the-less.

    I love the Alien movies too.

    The map looks good enough. You put some effort into the basic aesthetics (such as lining up walls and making sure they're not tilted at an odd angle), but I must agree that there really isn't anything original here. You could also do with a bit more interlocking- although I like it where you did use it. Eh, 6/10 with 5 being average.

    oww, no pictures of me and my team getting rapped? *sad face*, anyways, great map even though my team lost... I liked the change in gameplay after the hill moved, one hill its ranged fighting, the next with a vehicle, then close combat. Its fun!

    Pretty nice map.
    I might DL.

    I love your motivation of a multi-terrain map.
