    Arcadia [Map outside the boundaries of Standoff in the sky]

    This map was created by Oroboro(Me) and Capncaveman07. We got outside of Standoff and went all the way around,found this HUGE open area,built up to where the death barrier was,and made this awesome map.
    This map has two bases that both have landing pads and man cannons to get across to the other team(You cannot jump while going into the man cannons or you will hit the death barrier,just simply walk in). They have congruent weapons and almost congruent bases. If you fall off of the floating fortess,you will automatically die within 3 seconds,just watch your step so you don't fall. This map is great for 4-16 players, and supports all gametypes, although my Arcadia CTF is by far the funnest and works the best. This took us about 2 days to make and a total i'd say about 8 hours of trial and error.

    CTF Gametype:
    Arcadia CTF

    Idea is alright. A floating fortress or an out of bounds map isn't anything new, but the design looks fun, though small.

    Tip: Embed pics, people are lazy and don't want to click.

    Thats how I'm going to make lockout. With actual death by falling. Thanks for the idea!

    As for the map. It looks great, and I have it queued.

    i know its small,but we used every box and fencebox that forge gave us to float in the air,we didnt want crates b/c of all the explosive weapons on the map.
    thanks for all the comments though! and definately link me if that lockout even exists.

    Yeah, I was just about to tell someone who has skill to make a real lockout. God, that would kick ass.

    Good luck

    Ditto to all the above. Looks good. I saw flags in the pics. Is this map set up for the other major gametypes as well? (Assault, KotH, Territories, Slayer)

    Re: Arcadia [Map outside the boundaries of Standoff in the sky]

    Does anyone else wonder where the download link is?

    The map idea is good, but to make it a really great map, more creativity and originality would be preferred once you started building the floating base. I'm just wondering exactly how much space there is out there in between the death barriers.

    Edit: I found it by linking through your CTF gametype link. I still haven't found it in your FH thread though. o_o;

    Pretty cool looking map, gotta hate those object limitations that limit size though.

    Looks pretty cool- I like the lighting it creates on the base.
