Sandbox Diamond Arena

Thats a great idea, I jut wish you had spent more time on the design of the obstacles in the arena. You should have combined pieces to make more complex structures. I also would rather you remove the overshield, the map is too small for that.

Hes right, its a casual.

 

i really like the idea. this would be great a great laugh with friends and i will dl as soon as a have space. i like the idea of teams nominating one person to play while the other watch however I'm not sure this should be competetive. forgive me if im wrong but i think this should be a casual game because competetive maps don't tend to have CP's in them.

If i'm wrong, sorry, but I love the idea and the map. Good work 5/5

 

I think that the whole point of an arena/colosseum type level is for the audience to watch. But there's way too much cover in such a cramped space, the whole thing is flawed. There isn't even a single melee weapon on the map, which by the way make the key entertaining duels for the audience.

 

I think maybe you need to have better observational decks, ones that are out of the 25 meter range of the radar. That's very necessary as well since when my friends and I always 1v1, have someone join a guardian game, and have to kick them because of radar issues. For v2, like the others said, improve the structure design. Any little change can help. Good luck, and I hope you take this into consideration.

 

Looks like a pretty good map. It looks well forged, and I like how there are spectators. As people mentioned, that puts it a bit on the border of being a competitive map, but I understand why you posted it here because the actual 1 v 1 itself is competitive.

 

cool map but couldn't people be left out because of there annoying friends running into the game before they can and also gollygeeanelite the map im pretty sure is not breakable, but still you should change the cover around a little bit because it looks like you just put some little objects and made them symetrical, this map would be awesome for 1v1 battles and just watching them fight but still it could be better.

 

First off, where the hell did you come from? I don't know about geranamo here, but I personally find it offensive for someone who has not contributed anything to a map at all, telling the creator what he/she "needs" in his/her map to make it playable. Secondly, the reason it is two stories is to make it unbreakable. And even if you were able to get out of the map, where the hell would you go?
Nowhere. Exactly. That's just me, sticking up for the less well known forgers.

Now on to the map. I, personally, don't like many arena style maps, games are much more fun 4v4 than 1v1 with 6 people watching, however, If I ever had the need for an arena map, I would more than likely take this one. The switch is creative, the forging, clean, and, to the extent of my knowledge, the map is unbreakable. I do agree with Alex in the point that you might want to consider removing the OS, but that is my personal opinion.

Keep on forging and I hope to see your next project. 4.5/5

 

Wow, just wow. I am trying to be helpful. Can't you at least read the description he set up or saw the pics. It looks like you can easily grenade jump out in the first picture, doesn't it? He set up a game variant and didn't give us details about it. Maybe he increased the gravity. I don't know, he's no online to tell us, so I gave a logical solution. Whats wrong with that? I'm not being an ass or riding up and hating on a graduate. We were all once weren't we? Where did I come from, you ask? Well, been here for over a year haven't I? Seen thousands of maps I have! Actually, other pictures tell a different story. I thought the pieces against the wall were a large block tall. It then isn't necessary to build up a ceiling. Hm

 

being helpful would have been to suggest to test and make sure that you can't jump out of the map, but you just flat out TOLD him that he MUST do this and that. btw, it doesn't look to me that you can jump out, but does it really matter that much ?

I don't really like the observation aspect, but it's a good idea. The map actually looks like it would be really fun on 2v2. and your forging looks nice and clean in the pics. I like the columns on the walls. well done.

 

Well, being 100 miles from an active inhome internet connection MIGHT just prevent someone from actually testing a map for breaks. Again, if you read my whole post you would see the edit that I made. Check the last couple of sentences. Yes YES, it does matter if a map is breakable. That's like asking whether or not good gameplay is vital to a good map. Shesh.

Yes, I agree with the clean forging part, but you agreed with me that the observation aspect (needs improvement/ fixing) is...you don't like it...oh.
