    Greed
    Created by Chicken Dippah (2nd Map)

    Supplies are running low, can teamwork pull you through?

    Download Greedy Kills Gametype: Here
    Download Greedy Bomb Gametype: Here
    Download Greedy Flag Gametype: Here

    This is a small map focused in the outside road area of ratsnest. I built a small platform area with a chute made out of double boxs in the central area of the map which is accesed easily by the 3 crates on either side of the map. The chute its self is accessed by the crate on the platform, once in the chute you will land on 4 symetrical man cannons shooting you into the sky where you are to move yourself onto the platform to gain a small treat and take refuge in the small camp. On either side of this platform base there is 2 respawns, one for blue team and one for red. Each team in order to win is required to take control of the middle area and push up or defend depending what gametype is being played.

    Weapons placed on the map are:

    #6 SMGs (3 On each side by the Barrier, 30 Seconds Respawn)
    #1 Shotgun (In the container, 60 Seconds Respawn)
    #1 Sniper Rifle (On the roof Camp, 60Seconds Respawn)
    #8 Spike Grenades (4 On each side between the Barriers, 60 Seconds Respawn)
    #1 Gravity Hammer (Aesthetic Only)
    #1 Flamethrower (Aesthetic Only)
    #1 Rocket Launcher (Aesthetic Only)
    #1 Spartan Laser (Aesthetic Only)


    This map is compatible with Team Slayer, Assault and Capture the Flag gametypes all of which can be found at the top and bottom of this post.

    Neutral Bomb Assault (Greedy Bomb): Both teams start with an Assault rifle and 2 Frags and a 1 second spawn shield- The bomb is located in the roof camp with an instant arming time and 15 second fuse, defenders only have 5 seconds to jump up and down defusing it (Literally). Be warned if your the top point scorer you will appear gold making you a big target.

    MultiFlag CTF (Greedy Flag): Both teams start with an Assault rifle and 2 Frags and a 1 second spawn shield - The flags are located in the walls by each team spawn, the flags respawn as soon as their dropped so be as greedy as possible, another thing Flag carries have 75% movement but 110% Shield regeneration so stick with him. First to 5 in 10 minutes. Be warned if your the top point scorer you will appear gold making you a big target.

    Team Slayer (Greedy Kills):Both teams start with an Assault rifle and 2 Frags and a 1 second spawn shield -Get as many points as possible in 10 minutes. Be warned if your the top point scorer you will appear gold making you a big target. Extra points are awarded for:

    2 Points extra for Headshots.
    5 Points extra for Sticks.
    1 Point deducted for suicide.

    This map is really awesome-looking, especially because you made a map from the small outdoor section in Rat's Nest. Also, you used good interlocking.
    However, why must the soccerball be inclosed?

    Very nice interlocking and design, especially with the aesthetics. I like the weapons off to the side that you can't get but are very tempting.

    I think you should add some more cover to each team's side to prevent spawn camping (I know about the 1 second invincibility, but that might not be enough and that part of the map looks rather uninteresting). Also, I don't know if it's possible to camp by the shield door with the soccer ball, but that might be a problem especially in 1 v 1.

    Understood completly.

    To start with the shield camping as i tryed to demonstrate in the screenshots that area is such a minute one its really quite silly to get cover in a place where there is no where to run, but yes some people feel it "the done thing" to camp behind shields so in version 2 i will make my floaty ball of doom somewhere else oke?

    I experimented with 2 second invunerability and it just didnt work you can get up to the platform in 2 seconds and then starts to conflict with the games purpose so i stuck it on 1 second. But yes ill add more cover if thats what is needed =]

    Very nice idea. It's always nice to see something
    different. However, I have too disagree with the
    placement of this thread. Competitive maps all
    seem to work with every game type, were there
    seems to be only a few game types that truly work
    on this map. I still like the map. I got it queued,
    but I firmly believe that this belongs in Casual.
    3.5/5

    Honestly, the rating was more brutal because
    this thread is in competitive. If it were in casual,
    the rating wold have been a 4/5.
    =]

    EDIT:
    Both of my maps are in casual. Not just because
    they have infection game types [may I say they don't
    play like it], I just didn't believe that they were good
    enough to go into competitive. Plus, they had more of
    a Mini-Game feel to them.

    Chicken, this is a VAST improvment over Love Thy Neighbor. It has good interlocking, almost perfect gametypes,and a soccer ball to boot! 4.5/5,only reason its not a perfect 5 is cause it needs more cover,like others have said. Great job!!

    I disagree. Slayer, CTF, and Assault are all competetive gametypes and so this map should definitely be competitive.

    Besides, if it was in Casual, it would ineveitably get buried under the mound of mediocre infection maps, and you really don't want that.

    And how bout you float that soccer ball over the middle of the map for more of an epic feel.

    This map only supports a few game types.
    Plus, they have to be the game types given.
    Competitive maps support most, if not all
    game types, and can be played with default settings.

    Yeah i was thinking that but then i have to balance it central so it doesnt interfere with the Chute ill probably have 1 either side of the court near the spawns
