Minaret Created by Phantom Airwave(Dantheburger) Supported Gametypes: Slayer (2v2 is best), Oddball, CTF, KOTH Map Description This is my second map on Forgehub, I present : Minaret. The Forging of Minaret began in April, and was finished within 2 Days (about 3 Hours of Forging). I never posted it becsuse i could never get it tested. Yesterday and Today, however, I got off my butt and had 1v1s and 2v2s with some friends. I tweaked and here it is. Minret is a small, mainly Slayer map. %v5 is supported, if you have the whim, yet the maps is small and 5v5 is very, VERY cramoed. Set in the sky bubble, there are many small paths, with plenty of cover, leading around the map. They all meet in the center with a "Fountain". Here is the Mauler Spawn and a little bit of scenery, a tin cup painstakingly merged so you can see the flag only. Next to the fountain, is the tower. A mancannon leads upwards, and the sniper spawns here. In between the two spawns is a small area with BRs, Stickies, and a Plasma Pistol. All of the map is interlocked as much as possible, particularly the Fountain. Weapons are below. 1 Mauler (30 Sec, 0 Clips) 1 Sniper (90 Sec, 1 Clip) 1 Plasma Pistol (30 Sec) 1 Regenerator (60 Sec) 1 Carbine (30 Sec, 2 Clips) 4 BRs (30 Sec, 2 Clips) 2 ARs (30 Sec, 2 Clips) 4 Grenades (10 Sec) 6 Plasmas (10 Sec) Also, another Unqiue thing about Minaret, is I experimented with the CTF placements. When in a CTF game, You spawn with the enemy's flag, rather than having to go get it. Then, it's a race to see who can get to the cap point first with the flag. Its an experiment I guess. Try it.

Nice Map NIce map played it with you and i thought it was good. the weapons were fair and the map was easy to get around. I liked the sniper tower but it was a bit overpowered right next to the mauler fountain. One other thing that I don't really like is the fact that most of the action seems like it would take place at the sniper tower and the rest is only for cover. In other gametypes you should change some of the weapon placement and the cover this could improve the map. It would be good to make it so that in some gametypes the tower is not the main focus of the gameplay. 4./5
Well, I like the layout. But the sniper tower on such a small map seems too overpowering. If you can make a bigger version of this with interlocked floors it would look and (most likely) play a little better. The asthetics on this map are great though. I think the back of the bases with the ramps are pretty cool. Ill Download and try it out tonight. 3.5/5 -Nate
why is thar a sniper tower? thar is no cover from it, save a couple block huge's. spawn camping seems a big issue, but i may be wrong. ill dl and play it after i eat. as far as the pics go though, it doesnt looks like it would play well. there is nothing outstanding forge wise, to grab peoples attentions, and like i said the tower seems to be an issue.i still havent played it yet though, so dont rely on this 100% for improvments.
I can understand how you would think the sniper tower and spawn camping a problem, but the sniper has little ammo and with little coordination, a team of two can beat one. Also, snipers can be stopped just by BRs, as they can't scope while being shot, and most Snipers can't noscope for peanuts.
