    A Whispy & Happy Peso Creation

    America!
    Hardcore free for all map. 2-6 players for maximum fun.

    Map Download: America!
    Gametype: No special gametype needed. Recommended for use with Free For All Slayer.

    Description:
    America used the left half of the map Foundry. A wall is placed down the center of the map to split the left half off from the right. There are two spawns areas. The first is in the inset area where the back rooms are on the canvas of Foundry. The other spawns are on the other side of the map, near where the three leveled hub is.

    Weapons Contained: SMGs, Battle Rifles, Assault Rifles, Shotgun, Sword, Frag Grenades, Plasma Grenades, Maulers, Energy Drain, Deployable Shield, and other assorted weapons.

    Here is a panoramic view of the whole map:

    This is a view of spawn area number one (the spawns near the back rooms of foundry):

    Here is an overview of the area right outside spawn one:

    A shot of the deployable shield and plasma grenade room, which is closed off on both sides by shield doors (Right outside the front of spawn area one) :

    This is a shot of the middle area of the map. The deployable shield and plasma grenade room is straight below, under the bridges. Across the map you'll see an enclosed area with one access point through a shield door. This is the mauler room:
    [img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24505856-Full.jpg[/img]

    Interior view of mauler room. The maulers are in the corner that the player is running towards:
    [img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24506119-Full.jpg[/img]

    To the right of the mauler and deployable shield rooms is the box area. The box area contains a few boxes, a truck, and a sword. This area is close to spawn area 2:
    [img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24505886-Full.jpg[/img]

    At the top of the last screenshot, you'll notice a shield door. Through that shield door is a mancannon which acts as a lift to bring the player up to floor two and floor three. Below floor two is floor one, also known as the shotgun tunnel.

    The shotgun tunnel:[img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24506201-Full.jpg[/img]

    The mancannon lift in use. The player in this image is landing on floor three:
    [img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24506332-Full.jpg[/img]

    This is a view of floor two: [img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24506230-Full.jpg[/img]

    This is a straight view of floor three: [img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24506370-Full.jpg[/img]

    This is a view from farther away of floors one, two, and three:
    [img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24506001-Full.jpg[/img]

    There is a teleporter node which can be accessed off of floor three, by walking towards where the mancannon shoots you to. Look a little bit left and you will see a teleporter:
    [img width=800 height=600]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b65/xsocialmidgetsx/Screenshots/24506425-Full.jpg[/img]

    The teleporter takes you to a spot that is above the mauler room which is called the turret ledge. As you go through the teleporter, it will take you into an open box. You must go onto the grav lift to shoot up to the turret ledge:

    it looks cool. But why did you name it America? seems out of the ordinary, but other than that the map itself looks pretty good.
    Is that 4 grenades I see in screen shot #7? Damn, thats alot in such a small area.
    other than that I'm glad you didn't put so many power-weapons on the map. =]

    Interlock objects, make sure walls are lined up, it looks really scruffy

    It's really sloppy man. Fix it up and tweak things here and there, perhaps use the interlock objects technique, found in Forging 101.

    Other than the sloppiness, it looks decent.

    Yes, those are four grenades. You'd be surprised, but a lot of fights don't take place in the shotgun tunnel. Also, there are plasmas around the map which make it a lot more even.

    I know how to interlock, but I made this map before we knew how to. I do agree, the screenshots make it look a bit messy, but when you're playing, you'll understand that the messy effect 1) isn't too noticeable and 2) adds to the gameplay. On some of my other maps, such as Old Guard or Battleground, I have used interlocking. Those maps will be posted up later in the week.

    There is so much going on I can't see a flow of any type. Why did you give it a name that has nothing to do with the map layout, character, or type?

    Well, we were imagining America when we made it. This is how we view what America would be like if it were a game map. Don't ask, we weren't in our 'right minds' if you get my drift.

    The Wal-Mart would be the area where the turrets are. You go into the 'store' and get access to two turrets. The cost? Basically, none. ;)

    I'm going to start a game, drop in a few forklifts and barrels, name it Ionic Fusion, and hope people play

    Re: America! - [Whispy & Happy Peso Productions]

    Huh? Why would you do that? Was that supposed to be sarcasm of some kind? Are you saying that the map just looks like we threw random stuff in, stuck on a name, and that's it?

    Re: America! - [Whispy & Happy Peso Productions]

    Yes I am. This and your other "production" Mother Russia are rushed, sloppy, poorly named, and not fun. I have both, unfortunately, and I see a lot of box corners not touching, crooked walls, not to mention it hurts to look at floating wall corners and maligned barrier rows (not even of the same type)

    Where there should be interlocking, there are gaps. It seems rushed and sloppy. No that is not sarcasm.

    As I said before, this was made before we knew about interlocking. I do understand what you mean about it not looking perfect, but have you actually played a game with multiple people on either one of them? Come back to me after that, and tell me what you think.

    Ha. Funny. No, really. Just shows that you're scared I'll be right. ;) :squirrel_giggle:

    My god, what is with all you people and names!

    Scared that looking at all the crookedness will make me lean in MM, yes.

    I'm not even going to respond to you until you play the maps with a few other people.

    This isn't the America i live in, it looks like a map that had no real flow or idea that it originated from.
    It's a decent map with a lot of laws.

    It's America as I see it - a bunch of **** thrown together to create an interesting place that's fun to be in.
