Gridlock (Gears of War Re-Make)

The map: From what I can see, this map is way too open. Also, you should have interlocked more stuff (Look at the ceiling there; does not look very good, does it?) Also, the spawns seem to be at only two places, most at the place where you start on normal foundry. There will be spawn camping.

And about your pics: Do not use a gif. It is just annoying to wait for the picture to come again if you want to look at details.

 

As mentioned before ( btw I hate slide shows, I would rather see regular pictures ) Your map is too open. You have a basic layout set up but you don't have the fill ins and aesthetics to complete your potential game play that you can get from this map.

Nice job on the structures though, they look very nice

 

can u stop the slide shows so we can actually see them ffs

 

From what I see this is wayyy to open. Nothing really original either. It just looks like you went into forge and threw something together. The spawning points all look like they are in the back. So spawn camping will probably happen here. Not alot of aesthetics what so ever. I do like the buildings thought. That is the best part of the map.

2/5 from looks.

 

I can see how you have replicated gridlocked, but there are a few minor flaws. Like you said in the post, there was not enough room for the areas around the longshot spawn. I suggest that you get a budget glitched map if you dont have enough money, or if you do, try to make a wall or something to get as close as possible to the original. Also, make the area in front of the longshot have all of the broken cars and barriers to give the map more cover. With foundry's space though, I dont think you will be able to fit in the back area of the map where you first spawn. One more suggestion is that you put the sideways boxes in the buildings upright, because you will hit a pretty big bump whenever you are walking over them. With a little more work, I think you could make a very close replica of gridlock.

 

Have you played the orignal gears of war map? he spawns are supposed to e their. And what d you mean no thought in aestheics? was he supposed to change the orignl map? Yep he just threw something together not basing it off anything espically the gears of war map gridlock right.

Ignore this guy here. Oh and I rate this 4/5.

 

First off, there should be some stuff for cover (like the cars)

Second off, one of my favorite parts of Gridlock were the three big blocks of concrete off to each side of the sniper tower. This should be easy to pull off.

Third, the spawns can be spawn camped, very very easily. To make this more like "Warzone", you could make it so that everybody has one life, then there is no reason for spawn camping, because nobody can spawn.

Fourth, if you want to make the game more like Annex, then keep it how it is, but then move the spawns to the back corners of foundry, block them off (like you have with the A & B signs), and put a teleporter to get out of your spawning room.

Fifth, put weapon spawns where they should be (the battle rifles?)

Sixth, start everyone off with an assault rifle, and a shotgun/pistol (whichever works).

Seventh, move the Sniper tower up, and make a ramp to it.

 

i do remember some of these structures in gears, one thing you could do to fix the constant complaints of the map being too open is probably add some trash in some areas like how the real map had a bunch of crap laying around the streets used for cover, then this map could be pretty good

 

its pretty cool- but you are missing things.

the spawn.
railings near the towers

most important- COVER- there arent any cars or anything to substitute for them.
GOW was based around taking cover, this map is missing the cover- Gridlock is filled with broken cars everywhere.

but the mid tower is sweet.

 

For one, the map isn't very accurate to the original map, and, the changes done aren't done quite right for halo. GoW and Halo play a lot different from each other, therefore some changes have to be made. Halo requires more cover and better lines of site than gears for sure, and power weapons are much more of a power in halo than in GoW, meaning some weapon re-balancing is required. But good visualization of the map and forging.

 

It's a good idea, but Foundry's just too small for this kind of use. Good attempt though. What did you do to those A & B Signs that are blocking up the window holes? Did you unsuccessfully try the new geomerging technique?

 

i came in here with low expectaions after seeing countless othe fails but yet again my expectaions are lowered with none the cover in the middle, the sniper towers arnt scale and gears of war doesnt have flags the beat the sh1t out of each other nice attempt but a fails i do however like the boomshot area. new plan restart and build around boomshot

 

You should have compressed the structures to each side of the sniper down and put them in the back of foundry, instead of just leaving it empty.

 

i think it looks very good and i played gridlock with my friend the first day gears of war came out and loved it so i say 5/5

 

it reminds me of gears, good forgeing 4.5/5
