This is my newest map, the name is not official at the moment. I just thought of it in a couple minutes so I had a title for the thread. Ive been working on this for a few days now, and I feel that its WAY better then the last BTB map preview I put out. Anyways, enjoy! Loadout Cam: Sword Pool/Purple Room: Blue Base: Red Base: Lower Level of Base: Upper Level of Base (Birdseye view): Middle Section Overview:
I like this! Personally the location feels strange, like it needs to be moved on the ground or boxed in, but that's just me. I really do like the center structure, but I have a few questions. The bases have a glass cover area in the mid front- would that area be prone to grenade spamming? It seems to have 2 entrances there, which is good, I just have played a map that had a similar structure of its bases and the area it had like that glass on your was terrible. This is however just speculation. I love the center, it really looks quite nice, however the rest of the map seems like it isnt really meant to be there with such a great center and pale rest. I think some more height variation would be in order here, perhaps on the sides behind the 1x4 pillars(I also like this section as well quite a bit!)? Also, the dishs seem very out of place to me. Maybe try experimenting with different sources of cover like a raised walkway with lower doors or some pillars. Lastly the bases seem a little sloppy, like you just threw them together with a general idea of what you wanted. The center is so well made I would expect to see equally well made bases but these are very lackluster. I would, if I were you, experiment with new designs, and take a look at what others have done for some inspiration maybe? And if lag is an issue the 1 way and 2 way sheilds you put for orientation might have to go. I like the idea, but if it comes to that maybe try orienting your players using structure? Keep the base layout the same, but make red base have a slanted roof and blue base have an overhanging tower-ish roof maybe? I did that in an unreleased map of mine (it just didnt make it...) and it works great. Hope this has helped. Again, love your center of the map!
Ya im really happy with the way that the middle section and side 1X4 area turned out as well. I was forging most of this last night when i couldnt sleep, i didnt end up sleeping at all which is probably why it looks sloppy it was hard to take a picture of the bases that didnt look awful though, so maybe that could also be contributing? I dunno, but ill try to think of different base designs and see what i come up with.
the bases arent bad, but they are far from good as far as Im concerned, and it looks like just a bunch of 4x4 corners and XXL platforms, really. good luck!
Alrighty well ill see what I can come up with, and I'll try and use your idea of height variation. Thanks for the suggestions
