This map looks pretty sweet actuelly, and you pictures make it look 100 feet tall,
nice job on those aswell, i like how you combined two towers but still made the map flow

 

Wow this map makes foundry look ten times bigger, its one of those maps where you cant memorize the whole thing. Good Job Keep forging 5/5

 

looks pretty nice, for some reason its reminding me of kentucky tango(i think it was). hmmm cresendo? lets hope this isnt a decresendo, but by the looks of this map, your height aspect is very, eh em, uh, high.(to put in simplest turms)

 

Those central structures are sexy. The dumpsters look a little odd perched at the top, but otherwise very cool indeed. I like the way you have used wire spools and boxes and barrels as "support" for the buildings. Looks very unique.

I don't really have any criticism, its a nice concept and it looks nicely executed. Gonna have to download and have a better look me thinks.

 

Just gotta say the power drain on the last picture looks epic.. Anyway to the map.

As lot's of people have said it really makes foundry look huge, I think this map would be really good for shotty snipers. I'm saying this probably because the only thing I can use with long range is a sniper. I'm bad with BR's.

 

this map has an excellent sense of height to it, and the towers are well designed, but the ground level is pretty open and would be frustrating to be stuck down there when the other team has you pinned down.
4/5 for the vertically orientated map + good towers.

 

Dang!!! This looks awesome! I love the structures, looks like there is tons of cover, plenty of space and battlefield room, I think I will really enjoy this map! GREAT job! 9/10

 

Looks well forged, but gameplay doesn't look like it would be very competetive to me. I like how you have added elevation to the map, but it has to be balanced. It's very easy to camp on the top from the time I played on it. The general layout of the map is very good though! Keep Forging!

 

sweat map looks like an old timey village too me.

 

Nice map, I see some interlocking that was crooked, but that might be the camera. A very good map, I can see you incorporated the whole map. Koolio! 4.75/5

The map is well built and all of the interlocking is nicely done. The map is also very tall focusing around four imposing structures. The two connected towers certainly dwarf the player and will make you feel small. The base of each tower is also very nicely constructed and looks good. When i first saw it it reminded me of a Japanese castle because of the way the base juts out and then the structure shoots up from it. The ciover placed around the core of the tower down below is quite tight and i fear it may be easy to grenade someone inside them.

The back offices areas as normal with most forge maps seem rather redundant and too open. This is a minus for many maps and unfortunately this map falls victim to this as well. I would think that it would probably be best just to wall off the back section of the map and not use it in this case. Also personally i do not like stairs that lead to nowhere and you have to sidestep off of them to check to the next level. It takes away from the map asethics and just looks odd. The map has many nice asethic features from the towers to the sniper building and the teleporter design on said building. The two bases on each side of the map containing the custom powerup/camo combo(blocked off you cannot access them) seem truely to be for asethetic purposes only and serve in no way to help the map at all. Remembering that you posted this in the competitive section. I think with competitive maps gameplay must come first before asethetics but that is just my personal opinion.

The weapons are nicely balanced with each team having a nice selection to choose from and both having the same access to the rocket launcher and sniper rifle. The map is not over populated with weapons either. The ghost however i would not have placed. Due to how open the bottom of the map is the Ghost would just become overpowering in my opinion.

The map has two heights to it. Very low or very high only the back structure deviates from this slughtly and offers a middle height. What m calling the middle height is barren for a large section of the map leaving the map feeling rather open in areas. Also when it comes to traveling around the map the main focus of player movement has been on mancannons and grav lifts. The setup to go to the top of the sniper building can be somewhat dodgey because of the wire fences covering the 'chute' slightly. I have been caught in it on a few occassions. The mancannons and grav lift to the top of the two connected towers sometimes dont fire you correctly and seem very tempermental. It once took me four attempts of running straight into the grav lift at rockets to make the grav lift work. Therefore unfortunately i have to say that player movement is somewhat clumsy and definately an area to be worked on for your next map. You should always give players an option to run to a location or at least jump to it. Having to rely on man cannons and grav lifts adds some randomness to it and in a competitive game that is never a good thing.

I like how the map looks and how it has been constructed. Your weapon layout is also good however the map is really let down by player movement. Failing to make a grav lift jump and having to run all the way back to it to try again simply feels like a chore and is not fun.

Good luck with your future maps,

The map looks great and its always nice to see musical terms incorporated for the map name.

 

Wow, looks like you got the big Foundry early (JJ). Very good map though, but I do think there are too many high power weapons for the set of equipment that you have. Thats just me though.
