    Gully
    Created by ThrowinDemBows.

    Recommended Players: 10-16
    Recommended Gametypes: BTB Slayer, Multi-Flag



    As the salty sea's breeze cascades over the corroded landscape in a forgotten Gully, I stand tall and breathe in the natural air of an artificial world; escorted by a liquid rush that softly carries life throughout the dorment dockyard. It all seems so surreal. As the trees sway in the wind almost silently, the crane creaks in perfect contrast bringing an ultimately peaceful, abandoned atmosphere. To believe that someone created this beautiful artificial world with mother nature as their guide. Then another desecrated the land with an unused industrial dockyard with only power and financial benefits fueling the destruction... it brings me great pain to have the silence shattered by a series of semi-automatic gunfire. Upon emergence of conflict, the deserted docks receive a steady flow of new life; life with guns, energy, ignorance and technology. This is no longer my life. This is no longer my place...

    ThrowinDemBows has created an unbelievable atmosphere with simple aesthetics and an all-out popular theme: a dockyard. However, Gully provides something that most Big Team Battle maps can't; perfect balance within an asymmetrical arena. After consistant testing and remodelling, Gully has recently emerged as a strong community favourite for all out Big Team games. While Gully rocks the open air environment, you're never too far from cover and with excellent use of Forge World's natural geometry there's no sense of misdirection in the field of play. ThrowinDemBows has provided gameplay for both Vehicular and Foot-based combat scenarios and kept both on par in terms of maneuverability and balance.

    ...As I stand upon the great white rock and cast my eyes upon the sea before me, I notice the warships breaching the horizon. I believe in my cause, my sanitation, my burden. As I hold this forgotten facility, I make my last stand... for flag and for land...

    I actually played this map for the first time last night. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it played! Probably my new favorite BTB map. Congrats!

    Congrats Bows! Well deserved for sure. I've been playing customs again lately and the lobbies have been getting bigger, I'm hoping to get a nice game in on this map soon.

    The crane idea was genius, but the pictures don't give a lot of perspective of the overall map.
