Author: Gkoo Map Name: Harrabii Map Canvas: Sandbox Map Size: Small Player Count: 3v3, 2v2, 1v1, Maximum 6 Supported Gametypes: Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Oddball, Slayer, Team Slayer __________________________________________________ Description: Harrabii Description: Little know about this floating ceramic island. Harrabii is a fairly small map. This is an asymmetrical map. This map is meant to play for only 6 people. This map was started when I bought sandbox. There were too many objects for me to remember, so I just randomly picked an object and some how fit it in. I really didn't know it would be a map until a progress upon it. I made different pathways from the center. But I now, this map has about 3 different centers. As I progressed threw the map, I wanted to make it were there are endless ways. Sort of like a non-confusing maze. I you will see, I have accomplished that. By making pathways over and around the map. The only time I had to finish this map was weekends. This map took approximately 10 hours. Not at one constant rate. It took 5 Saturday's that I played for about 2 hours. Most of the time half of those 2 hours were spent messing around in customs. This is actually my first map finished. I have other map's finished about 95%, I just needed to put spawns and weapons. But then I got lazy. With this map, I hit the item limit, so there are places were you might notice that. ShadowVanish Helped with spawns and weapon placement. Thank you Shadow. Thanks to everyone who helped me. And thank you for reading this. The name. The name is wierd right. Well there is a short story behind it. At first this map was named Ceramic. Basicly because at that point, we were setting up new ceramic tiles on the floor. I'm not that creative, so I just used that name. Then I tweaked the map up a little, but instead of saying Save Map, it said Save as New Map. So at that point my little niese, which is 2 years old, wanted to say "Bring the stroller here." But in Arabic. So that would be "Geeb al harrabia." She is a baby so she said "Keeb Harrabii." I needed something, and I just put that in. Basically, it doesn't mean stroller. It's just a name. The map is a bit confussing so here is a little overview. THIS IS A SIMPLE OVERVIEW, NO LITTLE PATH WAYS ONLY MAIN. Weapons: - BR x4 - AR x1 - Carbine x2 - Mauler x1 (No clips, 90 sec) - Plasma Grenade x2 Pictures: Red Base Blue Base Main Area "Rocky" Area "Pillar" Area Path way from blue base to Rockey Area Overhead tunnel path Smexy Path Crawl Space I just like this pillar [NOT Accessible] (On top of Main Area) Overview's (WARNING MAP IS EXTREMELY CONFUSING IN THESE PICTURES) Quotes during testing (I'm sorry, but I forgot who it was) DOWNLOAD
Wow, the forging in this map looks amazing - And yes, the pictures do make it look confusing, but hopefully its not =D I'll DL it to see how it works. Looks like it'll be pretty fair for both teams, which isn't always easy in asymmetrical maps. Nice job
This is a pretty sweet map. Aesthetics are very nice and the overall huge confusing structure is awesome. My only concern with so much pathways and levels, there may be a lack of lines of sight. There seems to be a couple good ones, but I'd have to see for myself. The forging is amazing, and there are many intuitive structures. Well done, you get extra points for making it asymmetric.
ooooooo, very much like guardian indeed, the way you implimented (if thats a word) the pillars and arc structures and random aesthetic pleasentries into the map is wonderful, thank you for uploading your pics, great map, and welcome to FH. 4.75/5
Welcome to Forgehub, Gkoo! I hope you like it here. You're map is stunning. It is a real beauty to look at. You really mae it looks nice asthetically, and you've proven that you are a good forger. The only weapons I see are battle rifles and carbines, don't know how that would be good on such a small cqb map, but ill test and get back to you. It really looks great fantastic job. Overall I'd say this is a win. 5/5. D/led. Nice Job.
Thank you PRSplayer42. Spawn and Weapon placement is the the thing I'm worst at. Thank you for testing as well.
*ahem* this map has a few elements that look pretty. thats about it. I tested it out, and its horribly confusingly laid out, to the point that, although everything seems to look pretty cool, theres really no decent gameplay present on the map. Throughout the map, your bizarre method of randomly interlocking certain areas, whilst other areas seem thought out, has left numerous small gaps and holes in the floors where players can fall through. These holes are located in areas where combat tends to focus, thus making players consistently fall to their death through a tiny hole. I really enjoyed some of the interlocking and aesthetic elements of the map, but honestly it just didnt play well at all. Sorry to **** on your parade but all these kids saying its so great are full of ****.
Thank you for the truth. It really helped. Could you possibly name a few places with these "Holes." Criticism really helps, thank you.
