Author: AceOfSpades Map Name: Amazing Claw Map Canvas: Sandbox Map Size: Medium Player Count: 2-16 Supported Gametypes: Amazing Bomb __________________________________________________ Description: Welcome one and all to Amazing Claw! This Amazing Bomb map is played like never before. The vertical man cannons in the center, a teleporter launcher, and unique architecture composing the jumps create an Amazing Bomb atmosphere like no other... especially when you get launched 200 feet in the air Special Thanks go out to Noxiw for letting me use the canvas from Amazing Halfbox, and MultiLockOn for being sexy and photoshopping the thread for me
I keep meaning to play AmazingBomb, just never got around to it. This map just makes me want to try it out even more. That claw and the looks insane! Let me get a game or two going and i'll be back. It's getting late here but this looks worth it. Review: Gameplay: Like I mentioned above, this was my first time playing Amazing Bomb and I have to say... it's incredible!!! Gameplay runs smooth besides all of the hectic chaos going on. Truly some amazing, unique and all around fun times. Amazing Bobmb is staying on my hard drive for sure. Aesthetics: Have you ever made a map that wasn't jaw-dropping? I didn't think so. Your structures one-of-a-kind and work everytime. The claw is a stunning centerpiece and the fact that it's actually functional to the map makes it even more awesome. The bomb spawn areas were simply made, but still looked good with the light effects on them. The only thing that threw me off at first was one of the single-wall ramps. Just the way it was pointing was misleading the first time I went off of it. Layout: At first glance, I looked at the map and thought, theres no layout here at all! This is were the gameplay came in to prove me wrong. The multiple different take-off points were spaced very well and helped keep gameplay interesting. I have to say that the structure with the overshield is probably my favorite. The fusion coils made it look like a smaller guardian at first, if that makes any sense at all. Overall: Fantastic experience all around. Nothing about the map or gametype made me break anything, it just made me want to play more. I'm going to work on finding all of the other maps compatible for amazing bomb and get some more games going. 4/4, I definately want to see more maps from you in the near, near future.
(My first map reply post in a while lol) Any chance of putting up a gameplay video? I honestly cannot imagine 100% how the gameplay would feel. This map looks quite authentic with that center claw
I'm glad you liked it so much, and thanks a lot for the review! Here's the other Amazing Bomb maps that have been released: Amazing Bomb Map Pack 1 (Standoff, Valhalla, Sandtrap) Amazing Halfbox Amazing Mound I don't have a video right now, but if I get around to it, I'll definitely put one up.
Holy -Blam!- I've been playing this map for at least half a year now. I always thought it was already released, so imagine my surprise when I saw this on the first page of Forgehub : P. ... Well, from my prolonged experience with the map, I can confirm that this is the absolute funnest Amazing Bomb map. Every structure is completely unique and nice-looking, from the Bomb Spawns to the actual claw itself. Everything about this map screams: As for gameplay? Well, imagine all the fast paced action of Swat, mixed with the good parts of that annoying Left4Dead gametype, mixed with Grifball, mixed with magic. That is, more or less, how this Map and Gametype plays. Nice job Ace, I hope to see some more stuff soon. Congrats. Cheers, HarisSales. P.S. Yeah, I know my "quote" doesn't look realistic. Oh well : P
