Overflow V1 Download Here I really enjoyed making this map and hope that you guys enjoy it as much as I. The aethetics are pleasing whilst the gameplay is great. Write up on Aethetics: When I started creating this map I wanted it to look very different from any other map you see on these forums or any others for that matter. I started with the water. I wanted to incorporate it into an MLG style map without the effect the water has on gameplay. I played with a couple objects until I found the right one that did this. I then created a fountain to accent this portion of this map (Special thanks to Nimbus and Deathstars for the fountain idea... there is a court hearing in progress to determine the true creator ). I then started building out from this portion and created the bases using the most aethetically pleasing pieces I could find. Platforms make up most of this map due to the appeal they have to most people and the low amount of screen lag they cause. I also wanted to create a stunt ramp hall of a sort but took into consideration how the stunt ramps can throw off people's depth perception and I believe I have created a fix for this with the way I broke up the stunt ramps with some color. Write up on Gameplay: After playing mutliple games on this map I believe it plays a very fast paced game. I have tested the Flag, Slayer, FFA, and KOTH gametypes on this map and I believe it shines in these areas. It is similar to the Pit in Flag and Slayer but plays a much faster game. My personal favorite gametype to play was KOTH as all of the games we played were very close and took me back to the days of Halo 3 KOTH. FFA was not in mind when creating this map but many of my friends enjoyed this map for FFA over any other map. All of the forementioned is based on opinion. Edit: Before anyone asks, no the water does not comes above the blocks. The map is built on a sandbar where the water is calm. There should not be any FrameRate issues as I have tested the map and elimated the issues previously mentioned but if you come across any please inform me on this thread or through XBL.
