Dominion By: ConfOracle Map: Sandbox Players: 6-12 Recommended Gametypes: Team Slayer, Capture the Flag, Assault (mainly one-sided), Territories, VIP Background This map is my first map posted here on Forgehub, but definitely not my first map in general. Dominion was built around a central fist, which is mainly aesthetic. From there, I built the sniper tower and nearby structure. Finally, I built the main and side bases for each side. While this map is asymmetric in design, it is even enough that symmetric games should play pretty well. The map has mainly brute weapons, equipment, and vehicles, but a few covenant weapons were added for lack of long-range brute weapons. Weapons Carbine X6 (1 is asym.), 30 sec., 2 clips Spiker X6, 10 sec., 2 clips Plasma Rifle X5, 30 sec. Plasma Pistol X4, 10 sec. For Symmetrical: Brute Shot X2, 60 sec., 1 clip For Asymmetrical: Brute Shot X1, 30 sec., 2 clips, and Needler X1, 30 sec., 2 clips Mauler X3, 30 sec., 1 clip Beam Rifle X1, 90 sec. Grav. Hammer X1, 90 sec. Plasma Grenades X4, 10 sec. Spike Grenades X4, 10 sec. Equipment and Vehicles Power Drain X2, 60 sec. Deployable Cover X1, 60 sec. Radar Jammer X1, 60 sec. Chopper X2 (1 is sym.), 90 sec. Prowler X2, 60 sec. And now for the pictures! Overview of the Map Fist of Power Sniper Tower Defensive Base Offensive Base Back alleyway (behind fist) Download Here!
Well, I did use some interlocking on the fist... I'm not sure where else the interlocking is necessary. It would be nice if someone would comment on the gameplay though. Then I could get a V.2 started.
I think the map looks pretty fun. Ill play it later and edit a review later today. P.S. its often a possibility to measure someones IQ level by how they type.
Here are my thoughts on this: Spoiler - Carbine amount should be decreased to 2-4. - Remove one pair so that each base can have a pair of their own. - Why an odd number? Give each base one pair and remove one making it four. - Give one mauler for each team and set it to about 90 seconds. Knowing that, you should remove one mauler making it two. - This one shocked me the most. It would be much better if the amount of BR's were about 6-8 since this is a BTB map and have it set to 30 seconds. - Give one Sniper Rifle/Beam Rifle (I prefer Sniper Rifle) for each team and set it to 120 seconds or keep your time (whichever works best). - Set the Hammer to respawn after 120 seconds. - Place at least four frags for each base. As for the design, the bases and the blue light side need some work. Both bases need some height and more pathways. You need to interlock the objects to make it look more clean. Same with the red light side, but I like that part the best.
Thanks for the advice! I will definitely work on the bases and the blue structure, but I'm trying to stick with the whole brute/covenant theme... so I may keep carbines and beam rifle instead of battle rifles and sniper rifle.
