Yeah, name needs work. I do that later. I made this map surprisingly quickly. It seems much easier to Forge maps on the exisitng ground than try to build an entire map from scratch up in the air. Overview - symmetrical, medium sized, roundish Blue Base - you'll notice I didn't bother wit big ugly walls to keep players in. Go wandering out of the map if you like, just be back within 10 seconds! Check out my golf balls! Think Backwash and you'll begin to see where I'm coming from with this map. Its not a remake at all, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of it as I built it. Also, the highest point of the map is the roof of this building, not that long pipe which joins the 2 tall towers in front of each base (that has a kill zone over it) aaaaaand a quick video (literally. I planned on filming really slowly so I had more control over the camera and I could just double the speed later but I moved a bit too quickly, hence why the video looks a bit too fast) YouTube - Canyon Map1 The map has mainly short to mid range weapons with the exception of the Focus Rifle which is in the middle of the centre building. Any suggestions for names? Oh, and I haven't given up of Coastal Pipeline, I'll come back to that later.
I see many places that would be advantageous, but only for someone with a jetpack, most notably the roof of the center structure. You might want to build more into the center because as of now, it is just a room with a walkway over it (all but inaccessible to players without jetpacks). With a little more work this map could be great.
Actually that roof has 4 access points without jet packs. There are the 2 grav lifts inside as well as the large rock formations on each side which you can walk up to jump on to the roof. In the overview screenshot you can see the single sea-stack with a ramp merged with it to indirectly inform players that that can walk up it and the other is the slightly larger (wider, not taller) L-shape with the sword spawn.
