Tsavo Standoff By SOLO Top Overview The Wrecked Bridge Let me know it you seen anything like this so I can stop construction now. Red Base Spoiler Back of Red as you can see Im not done with the Bridge/Freeway. Back Right Red Front Red Sniper Red Front Blue Blue Bottom Left
It all looks very cool I just don't think it will play well. Each section is very disconnected and there's huge openings between the bases. Along with that the sniper towers only appear to have one way up which is a huge camping position.
This looks great! I've actually always wanted to build a sandbox map with a highway in it but I never got around to it. Hopefully you finish this fast, I'd download in a flash If there's any help I can do (I know all the forge stuff) you should drop me a message, I'd love to see how the map is coming along and offer some help and maybe some constructive criticism..
Is that like a halo map program or did you do that all yourself? But besides that it looks very cool, but in the pictures the highway is elevated, but in the map, it's on the floor. Is that going to be like that forever or are you going to fix that?
I've noticed that, upon completion of the real thing so I added some extra cover in some of those dead zones and also along the outer sand dunes for design. The sniper towers I've tested and viewed myself the visibility is not as great as it looks only lets you see the opposite base and bridge, and just a lil under the bridge to see Camo and OS.
The bases and the bridge look very nice. I dislike the designs for the other structures, but thats just me.
The program is called google sketch and there's a link for it somewhere on forgehub. Oh and nah I'm not going to leave the pieces on the ground for the bridge like in the rl picture I just didn't feel like constructing the bridge. You can be a better forge just try using google sketch it will help you organize your ideas.
I am excited for the release of this one. Beautiful map. The sketch-up is nearly identical to the forge, which is outstanding always. But I must admit That ^^^ Is a fact. I would suggest adding a ramp to the back of the base or sniper tower allowing an alternative route in and out in the event of objective games and ending campers.
This map looks pretty awesome so far. Can't wait to see the finished result. Some suggestions though: - Include your weapons and equipment which you plan to put on your map in this thread as well so that we can see if there is anything wrong. - Try making the bases a little less dense. It seems kinda tight, literally. I can't tell much about the two structures in front of each base because looking at the pics, it looks horrible but you are obviously not done with them yet. Looking at the SketchUp pics however, it looks good. Good luck.
It's possible that little, rock shaped cover wouldn't hurt between the bases; sprinkle some geometry in between the two main bases and sub-bases and maybe under the bridge for additional cover perhaps.
He used google sketchup 7. It's a very good free product. I'd reccomend it. Helped me design my pool deck lol. Anyway the map looks great. If i was a total jerk i would totally comit map theft with this one lol jk. I really dont see any major flaws, I cant wait for this one!
The map looks like an interesting concept, and I'm curious to how a highway will play in a match. It seems like it would be hard to take someone down from up there if a player had a ranged weapon. They get the advantage of long lines of sight, and height. It could still work, as long as there are enough BRs, Carbines, or any other mid-to-long range weapons to work with at almost all times. Not a big deal, but having Standoff in the name could seem misleading to some. People may think it's a map with very similar gameplay, layout, etc. to Standoff. It doesn't need to be changed, but considered.
The map looks very good. Clean forging, and an interesting concept. I think the lines of sight might be a little too open. Another problem is the sniper tower. It seems there is only one way up to it, so to prevent camping, place a few fusion coils inside each so that a well placed grenade can take out a camper.
The map looks beautiful and i can see original designs throughout this map. The broken bridge looks brilliant and seems to be tricky to make and keep the flow of the map smooth. If you need testers please add me to the list.
Thanks Pro Forge for the tip I didn't even think about fusion coils silly me. Thanks you guys for the comments I've reviewed all of them and I should be done with the map in about a day or two
