    Eiffel Tower

    • This map isn't for playing on but is just for looks and as you can see by the title, this map is going to bring the Eiffel Tower to you instead of you going to Paris. There are many things you can do here such as visiting the luv (the very top), looking at its magnificent beauty, or if your lucky you might find your true love ;) jk


    • There are three levels to the tower but the only way to get there is through the three teleporters at the bottom.
    • This Map is actually kinda crappy cause i made this before i knew about ghost-merging. So give me some credit.
    • Right Now I am going to be putting up a lot of maps that i have been holding onto and releasing them, so that other people don't get the credit for my hard work
    • oh and i would add more to it but i am out of money :( I always run out of money

    Wait, this wasn't ghost merged? Are you bullsh**ing me here? Cuz this thing is freaking epic. Form the first pic to the last I recognized the eiffel tower. Man This thing is amazing. I like the top part where you die by jumping off. Simulates wat would happen if u jumped off the Eiffel Tower. (though this wasn't intentional i see) Lol 7/5 and I would comment more but i need to take care of a rather "hard" issue. Lol freaking epic. DLING AS SOON AS B.NET ACCOUNT IS LINKED!

    Very cool man. It looks like the tower is leaning to one side though. Not that big of a deal because the idea is pretty sweet. I noticed that you said you ran out of money, why no just money glitch the map or use a money glitch canvas next time? I will DL to check out the view. Nice work.

    Looks good. Now all you need is a bunch of illegal muslim immigrants from africa selling "eiffel tower minitures" at the base of it. Then every 5 minutes have them running from the cops, in a circle around the hotdog shack, back to the EXACT spot where they were just selling. lol. Paris has got the dumbest cops alive.... seriously the best part of France! (except the pasta at the truckstop by the swiss border... F-ing delicious!!)

    Pretty epic man you have done well not to ghost merg this map, It is leaning to one side but that doesen't really matter. Just imagine what you could do with a budget glitch map.

    WOW? I only wish you had it made it playable. This would have made a killer one bomb map. But, great job! I am amazed by the size of it. It puts the tower I built to shame.

    Wow, how many time was this tower, "erected"? lol. Anyway, very original to me, and looks very cool. Also, I like how tall, big, and juicy it is. (That's sorta what she said.) Good map, 9.3/10

    Eiffil Tower

    Every time i get a good idea for a map i just can't stop working on it until its done, so it did take a considerable amount of time. Just like every other map i made.

    Oh and the way i did this without ghost merging was that i would set a object down and put the spawning time at 180sec and set it so that it wouldn't be there at the beginning of the round. So it would give me 3mins to set a object(s) down before they would spawn. But it did get messy at times when the object wasn't solid when the other objects spawn, which would force the second object out of the first.

    That's why you use a "marker". A marker is an object or spawn point placed on the lated spawned object. That way when the object is late spawned you know where to old object is without having to guess.

    Hell ya! I've been waiting to see this for a while now. I KNEW somebody out there had to forge the damn thing.. Im not going to bash on the craftsmanship considering that you didn't ghost merge. Hell that's a damn good job without it and the effort. 9/10!

    This map looks very sick haha. Also those facts were very cool to see. I have always wanted to build a model of something famous like this but I always thought it would be to hard to make concidering the sizes. You did a perfect job thought 24/10
