I was thinking that i never really see any maps on epitaph so im gonna give it a shot even though a lot of people hate it. I think i can make it a good map but i need some help from everybody else. Can you all please tell me why you dislike epitaph, if you do, so i can try to overcome that and make epitaph a decent map. (DO NOT SAY SHIELD DOORS. I KNOW EVERYONE DISLIKES THOSE!) thanks, DimmestBread
out side of the map rocks but inside kind of jsut seems like just an open area...all in all i think hte map is underated. Try dividng the inside of the map into 2 sections so you cant walk through the middle rahter you have to go around.
what i don't like about epitath is the 2 lifts that take you to the middle of the map and the one that lifts you up to the second floor which is on the opposite side of the first lift. i just hate the 1 that takes you to the middle for no reason and the other one is that people usually camp their awaiting people to lift up. and the shield doors! sorry i had to say it even though you mentioned it in your post
thanks for the posts you guys keep them coming. i have an idea to prevent the camping, darkmuse. It is to put fusion coils you can see from the ground floor at the top of the lifts so you can shoot them before going up and maybe put them behind shield doors as well. (they would also be on a very fast respawn)
I havn't tried to forge in that map, but I'm beginning to get away from Foundry and going toward some of the other maps. I want to try to make a good map on Ghost Town, but sadly not many people like it...
I changed weapons around and added cover. Played massively different. The problem is the campable weapons..so you you put some kinda shotty nulifier (such as maybe a snipe) it plays better.
yeah thats sort of what i did. one of my friends said its a power weapon map, you control them and nobody can kill you so the only power weapon is a sniper, but yeah i'll add a lot of cover. thanks
But i like shield doors 1v1 shield door staredowns are awesome, until someone comes and assasainates your oppenent at which point you cackle menacingly!!
hmm... personally i mostly like the map as it is. But that's not to say I don't have any problems with it. 1. I hate the shotgun (when I don't have it lol) also, one of the most seldom used, but way too powerful positions on the map is next to the shotty spawn. if u pick it up and walk foward to the lift and then turn and jump off the edge, there is a small ledge that is great for camping. I know I use it lol... I'd do something about that, although it'd be a cool spot for a bomb plant or something... I don't know. The shotty is basically my biggest concern. Also, the grav hammer is pointless. I don't know anyone who actually uses it. and of course the rockets... Rockets, shottys, maulers and a grav hammer in a small map like Epitaph? No. So yeah as said, limit the power weapons. That's about it.
You should make it so the rocket platform is a sniper spawn. Then place some floating fusion coils at one end. Go get a friend or another person to stand on it. Go shoot the coils and BAM! Immediate flip.
