    This is my first try at a remake of the famous map from Gears of War 2, Blood Drive. Most of the buildings and rooms are accurate except for the rooms on the sides that contain hospital beds. The main spawns are the same as in Gears of War 2 where you will spawn in the rooms at the top of the stairs. Each team has their own side in which they spawn. The respawn points are all around the map in various locations (you can check them out in Forge). Also, many of the inaccessible areas in the Gears version of the map are not accessible here, such as the railings down the stairs and the pits between the stairs. (look at pictures). This is my first ever attempt at the recreation of a map and I completed it in about 5 or so hours so I know it's not perfect and constructive criticism is highly appreciated. Thanks and enjoy! =^_^=

    The weapon placements aren't 100% accurate to the original map, which I might change in a second version of the map.

    1-Sniper Rifle
    2-DMR
    1-Shotgun
    2-Needle Rifle
    2-Needlers
    4-Plasma Grenades

    This, once again, is just my first attempt at this map and I'm sure any of you could do a much better remake but I'm just getting some opinions on it and seeing where I need improvement and such. Many of the inaccessible areas in the Gears version are also inaccessible in my version by Soft Kill & Kill boundaries. Also, for a nice added effect I put the "Next Gen" FX on for that gritty, Gears feel to the map. I also added a few health packs which I am considering removing in a second version of the map. (tell me what you think of the idea). Aaaaand I think that's about it, if you have any questions feel free to ask, and feel free to leave any constructive criticism.
    Thanks

    Pretty Good.

    I think it looks good and plays good. The spawns need work and it seems a little bare...
    Instead of a soft kill zones on the edges (at the top of the bases) try putting a regular kill zone. You dont want people falling off and walking around at the bottom for 10 seconds. and at the shot gun spawn the 4 corners look like they are out of place... to different from the other pillars.
    But overall, id give this map a 8/10, it looks so much like gears of war i forgot what i was playing for a second XD.

    What do you mean by the "4 corners"? The yellow pillars?

    Dude, this map looks really really really good for a remake. Your location at the edge of the canyon makes it feel more like blood drive. I used to play gears 2 all the time and blood drive by far is my favorite along with jacinto. The pits going down the stairs when you come out of spawn look as much like the original as you can possibly make with the pieces you have. Sorry for not leaving more productive feedback but I'm on my iphone right now so it's easier for me to keep this short. I'm eager to download this map. If you want I can leave some feedback afterwards, even though I know absolutely nothing about building maps. I still like to download and play.

    Lmao, that's not a bad idea actually...I guess I'll add a gametype to it and then upload here.
