Sandbox Sircewtory

Interesting choice to only used blue columns and blue light. I like the arches around the sword. I am concerned however that people will only stay on the elevated path.

 

pretty good map. I like the energy sword spawn, the arches look really cool. the video made laugh.. pirates of caribbean theme? lol

 

Looks like a very good FFA map. It could be really good if you make an MLG version of it as it could be good for BR warmups!( just a suggestion )

Enjoyment:

Enjoyment, though never easy to assess, is quite challenging to gauge on Sircewtory. This map does show signs of an enjoyable time, but ultimately, it is lacking. The map geometry does not provide the tactful gameplay that would be expected from a competitive map. Sicewtory's play styles becomes less competitive and more chaotic and random as the game progresses. Most of the structures are in credibly thin and narrow. Structures on the map are actually small and only provide cover. It makes the map feel like less like a singular creation and more like objects that are placed. Though the placement was not bad for the most part, the objects were some what useless and unnatural. Walkways and ramps had similar size issues. Simply put, bigger walkways and ramps are needed for solid gameplay. This attributes to the flawed paths throughout the map. On top of these errors, a poorly done spawn system is seen. Constant spawn killing occurred. Weapons and equipment left players wanting more. Though full of potential, Sircewtory has below average gameplay.




Balance:

Sircewtory ic completely symmetrical, so technically it somewhat balance, but overall it is not. Flow is iffy even for this circular movement. Competitive gameplay relies on player movement. Strafing, a way to move in combat, creates more dynamic scenarios, but narrow paths restricts this. Elevated walkways are also assumed to give an advantage over lower areas. However, these walkways lack the advantage of cover due to the extra narrowness. This makes each area with this problem dangerous and unattractive. There are three ares that do not have this problem, the two bases and the bottom level. However, the bases are too isolated to offer any real gameplay. Routes on Sircewtory are not well throughout. The top is unusually untraveled and the bottom is constantly trafficked . Fundamentally, some paths have different advantages and disadvantages than other paths, but in the scheme of things, the differences and small map style causes a weird, random play style. Weapon spacing was incredibly low. Players were hard pressed to find a more useful weapon than the default. The only option was the center where the sword and needler spawned. More interesting gameplay would be insured if a more dynamic weapon layout was constructed.




Durability:

As far as I'm concerned, the map is completely durable. It is inescapable and the lifts work well which is something that is often a problem. Though with it's own issues, the spawn system could not be exploited in any way.




Aesthetics:

Though not soaring into the excellent, Sircewtory does offer some interesting and well done aesthetics. The outer walls of the map as well as the inner-workings are constructed well and are ultimately appealing to the eye. The map also provides a center structure that gives an overall awareness throughout the map. It helps identify your relative position. For the most part it is well built, but there are a few errors.




Originality:

The map's circular shape and inner circle is refreshing to see after playing map after map that is rectangle. However, it's been done before many times. There are unique walkways and structures, but you even say the design is greatly inspired by Wizard/Warlock. There is much evidence from it and this arena style doesn't bring anything new to the table.

My friend, you will get two reviews and i get to embarass Scope for apparently not knowing how to grenade jump OR buddy jump, or simply not testing the map. JK i know youre better than that... but still! Anyway, you are gonna get another in-depth review kanvas. Ill do my best to point out things that Scope didnt, so that you can do twice as good on your v2, which i damn well better see. Basically, im going to edit scopes review. Just look for the red^^^ And Scope, I dont mean to steal your thunder, but REALLY look at the durability hard next time because it was incredibly incorrect......


God i feel like such an ass, but it had to be done by somebody.

 

Hey i really hope its better. Hang em High was my favorite map, and my second favorite was Warlock. So if you can pull of anything that works even a little bit like it, then i call it a success! Good luck, and dont forget to make the ramps bigger.
