    Map Variant: Max Security

    Base Map: Sandbox

    Recommended Gametype: Cops'n' Robbers
    (Works well with just about any other Cops and Robbers gametype.)

    Recommended Players: 2-13 players

    Max Security is as its name says, a maximum security prison that features aesthetic jail cells, a cafeteria, a punishment area, and courtyard.

    Special Features:
    -Jail cells that feature metal bars and barely noticeable shield doors.
    -Working Electric Chair
    -Solitary Confinement/pit(throw trip mine for torture on thumbs as the victim may do nothing but crouch)
    -Courtyard with two Soccer fields
    -Three Watchtowers
    -Vehicle Garage
    -More for you to find...

    I Know everyone is tired of sandbox maps, but it is the only map that had what I needed for this.
    For the record, I ran out of space/room.

    Haha as i was checking out the map i was like, hmm this kinda looks like a jail and then i read it and yes i was right. Um cool map, it has some cool scenery and such. I dont now if you had one but by any chance did you make a guard house. Or have like a weapons room or somthing for the police.

    umm, no weapons room, as i said I ran out of space/budget and wasn't able to do so.
    I may go through all of the gametypes and delete unneeded stuff and release a v2, but for now the police can sustain themselves with hidden weapons and the vehicles.

    Ok first off-I made a map very similar(better in my opinion) to this with the same exact name and posted it a few days ago. Now i know that this is probably only coincidence, but i think that It may be polite to change your name.

    Well on to the map.
    The first thing that i can see from your map is the lack of outer aesthetics and ways that are too easy to escape. I would recommend doing something like the original map on foundry by needing the grav lift to escape, or something along those lines. You should have made it look much more like a prison from the outside along with the inside. Also you say things about a working electric chair and a cafeteria-I would like to see pictures of these and explain how the chair works. You said you would look into a weapons room-this is a catch 22 since the cops have to have easy access to this, but you have to have it work with the map. And you should have made it off to the side of the map, as to incorporate a town or something so that the robbers would have someplace to hide when the escape. Also, you probably should have made the bars out of scaffolding to conserve on money and the amount of objects you use.

    Overall-2.5/5

    If you are interested in looking in to my map for ideas(and to see why i think mine is better), its in my signature.

    Ya, your map is similar to mine, with a similar name (i was like wtf!?!>.;)
    it is very well made (didnt even think of scaffolding)
    But, to the point:I made this becasue some friends on live showed me some cops and robbers maps, and it was kind of fun, so viola

    By the way this is actually kinda scary seeing your maximum security map and mine at the same time. (i srsly cant get over the coincidence)

    I thought about naming it Alcatraz=/ (i want to change the name, but to what?)

    I made a "fun"(player feedback) cops n robbers map on foundry a while ago, following the same idea of a town being outside the jail, with the goal of the prisoners to escape/hide. Your map looks okay although i would personally improve upon a some things such as the asthetics. I would also merge a few things to improve the overall visual aspect of the map. I would also suggest that you make some sort of a town outside for the robbers to hide and scale down the whole jail as it takes up the whole map and there is not alot of places where the robbers could survive. If you would like please take a look at my map to get some ideas of the various ways to escape and the hiding spots that you couldve implemented. Overall its not a bad map and i would give it a 3.5/5. Hope you make a second, more improved version.

    My map ironically also contains the word Maximum in it. Its called MSCF and its in my sig. Check it out if you need any ideas

    i like it a lot. I havnt played cops and robbers on it yet. But i did run through the map.
    I like the whole prison, especially the jail cells.
    I think you just need more weapons in the weapons room.

    Thanks, but there is no real weapons room, I may soon release a 2.0 with an actual armory, (if I can find a way to enable it for cops only with multiple uses.)

    Lol, its not Max Security if the wall in the courtyard is short like that. Try making it alittle taller.
