It's on Standoff, and there are a bunch of hovering boxes. Players are equipped with a laser, for the long range action, and a sword, for close combat. Players must jump around (50% gravity and max speed) on boxes floating at the top of the map. It's team king of the hill, so players must control the hill (which will randomly spawn on one of the hovering boxes). If you fall off from the boxes, you have to get up using man cannons or the single teleporter. It takes some time to get used to, but once mastered, you can navigate the air and man cannons with ease. You get points for controlling the hill, but also for kills.

I have a few maps that I made, but I know you're not supposed to spam the forums. Should I just wait awhile before making a thread for other maps?
This looks like a fun game. I like the idea of moving fast and jumping high. If you fall off of the boxes are there teleporters to send you back up to the top? The boxes all look flat and KOTH seems like a perfect gametype for it. I'll DL it. You should remake this on Sandbox in the skybubble.
I suggest you add more teleporters. It seems to me that the man cannons would be difficult to use to get back on top unless you had practice like you said. So a few more teleporters to the top would be an improvement. Looks great though, good idea
There is one teleporter to take you up, and a whole lot of man cannons. Once you know how to maneuver the man cannons, you can get virtually anywhere in a few jumps. But it's actually not that hard to use the man cannons. Where ever you fall, there is one to take you up. And it is more risky. With teleporters, you are safe when you are on your way up. But with man cannons, someone might laser you in mid-air.
This map is just what i have been waiting for something that is made just for some awesome King of the hill. Thank a lot and keep up the good work. The mancannons work great
I like the idea of a crazy hill rush floating in the sky. Congrats on using standoff, not foundry. The weapon set would work perfectly. Nice point about the risk of the man cannons. I like that kills get the points as well. One point; are there any perks to being inside the hill (besides points), e.g. damage resistance, or increased damage. I like it, simple, but very effective.
I think this would be cool with ZOMBIES! Maybe if there is ever a v2, you could include an infection gametype. I think the mancannons would be tricky to get up, but I'll trust you. I DL'd it. It looks cool. Maybe you could include a master box where you get like 2x the points, but everyone is trying to get there so it's tough. And, maybe you could include waypoints on everyone in the hill, so nobody can hide. Nice job.
*yawns* looks pretty boring. im not a big fan of the splazers and KOTH isnt my fav game either. sorry but im not gona download...
The problem with zombies is that people just hide down below. And it isn't boring at all. Frustrating sometimes, but not boring. Thanks for replies.
Rabbit, I knew people would like this map, and I'm glad you only posted the picture of me killing you.
Wow, this map looks like a lot of fun! Not exactly the most technical forging, but really that's not what matters! The only problem I can spot is that the speed might make it incredibly hard to actually stay on the platforms. I'll queue for download and play a couple of matches with my friends! Overall I'd say that this deserves a 4/5. PS: I love the other maps you posted also. =)
