"Pinned Down" is a beach invasion map. At the beach, it features 25 fusion cores set to instant respawn that rain down on the invaders (attackers). There is ample cover for the invaders to hide behind. At the wall, the attackers get to use machine guns and grenades. It takes a lot of skill for attackers to even get pass the wall. Also, it takes defenders some skill to avoid getting sniped from the sniper tower. About 45 seconds into the game, two mongooses will spawn for the attackers, and about 2 minutes into the game, a warthog will spawn for the attackers. There will also be a rocket launcher somewhere in the water at this point (by having it in the water, it makes the situation more life-like, as a real soldier probably wouldn't know where such a goody would be at). 3 minutes into the game, a spartan laser will spawn at the wall, and another will spawn by the windmill. This should balance out everything. Beyond the beach, there is ample cover for the defenders as the attackers move in. Camp Froman should be easier to take and will be less of a camp out than it was before via the said cover. In front of the base, there is a lot of cover for defenders to pick off any attackers unfortunate enough to be on foot. Inside the base, the flag spawns at its usual point. There is a bit more cover in this variant, so the attackers again need to be careful.

Yea, I'm having a hard time trying to add them. I'm completely new to forums. I typed in . I put in a picasa URL, and it doesn't work. don't know why. Sorry!
This is actually a very nice map for your first post, especially because you used auto-spawn, and because it WASN'T on foundry. However, D-Day (or beach invasion) maps are a tad (ok- they are everywhere) bit overused. So, on your next map, try and come up with something that seems original, and isn't based off some amazing battle. Also, I think it would help A LOT, if you haven't already, to go here for great forging tips. Instant respawn is a good start. Hope that helped Welcome to Forge Hub!
As good as a map might look on the original maps when they've been forged, I don't think they ever work out well as a realistic map to play on. Slayer or otherwise. Infection althought usually works well anywhere. That said, I suggest using the new maps with forge =D I don't download original maps so yeah =\
Reynbow - I've seen some pretty good maps that work on the old maps. Foundry is definitely used too much now. It might not be a bad thing to try some old maps in the future.
Hey, for your first posted map, this looks pretty good. It sounds well thought though and looks enjoyable. Good job! ~SS
i think this is too much a like to Storm The Beach. It looks like you took Storm The Beach and just tweaked a couple things, added a warthog, and opened the back part of Last Resort up. i give it 2/5 since it's not really original. but it is your first post, so i'll give it a 3/5 =]
Yeah, what's so bad about Foundry? But anyways, nice try for first map. Now you can move on to Foundry.
