Sup guys. Here is my latest work in progress. This map was inspired by various Halo maps, but mainly Isolation. Aesthetically I wanted something very clean and simple with a lot of angles and faceted geometry. Gameplay wise I wanted the upper levels of the map to be more exposed, and be for quickly traversing the map, but with more of a risk involved, and also for getting a quick height advantage, but not be a power position that you can hold indefinitely. I wanted the lower levels of the map to for slower, safer, more methodical map traversal. Anyway, here are some screen shots: Overview - I'm currently experimenting with the bottom left and right corners seen here to make them less claustrophobic.
So I got another playtest in. I think it went well. I had somebody outright tell me that they didn't like the map at all. Meanwhile, I've been making small changes here and there. I had Xdemption hop in and give me some ideas on how to improve the gameplay, and I made a few changes.
Always a fan of natural terrain mixed in with other geometry, it looks good i can't imagine how it plays though.
I had a lot of fun on this one (may be biased due to isolation love). I've been experimenting with taking power away from top mid and this map did it beautifully. After getting my bearings, I loved using the top of the map to flank. There were a couple of spots that got confusing with the radar and discerning where people were, but that could just be preference rather than an actual degradation of gameplay. I'd like to see the changes you made either in a testing lobby or 1 on 1
Maybe give a total top-down view so we can see the whole layout? I know that a lot of it takes place underground, but it would still help.
