    A wonderful map for One-flag and Team Slayer.

    StormDrain is a small map made up of two rooms sperated by a small "grate".One team starts on an elevated area and drops down into a short tunnel. There is a steep slope on the attacker side made to slow down players, but you can jump it.

    The size makes games very intense, while rather short as well.
    The map is roughly shaped like a pill.
    Great for parties who have little time on their hands, but intense enough to get the blood flowing.
    Although it's a small map, it has plenty of weapons to fuel it's short-but-intense games.

    it may seem like an overwhelming amount, but it is very well balanced. Ive spent over 4 hours with tuning the weapon balance (could have gone without the fuel rods and sniper)

    A FUTURE UPDATE WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF WEAPONS (when I get around to it)

    weapons:
    1 rocket launcher
    1 fuel rod gun
    1 energy sword
    1 sniper rifle
    1 shotgun
    1mauler
    2carbines
    4 battle rifles
    3 assault rifles
    1 machine gun turret
    2 plasma rifles
    2 smgs
    1 spiker
    1 brute shot
    1 magnum
    1 plasma pistol

    equipment:
    1 Deployable cover
    1 regenerator
    1 power drain
    1 overshield
    1 spike grenade
    1 plasma grenade
    2 firebomb grenades
    1 frag grenade

    Looks like a shitload of weapons. And what's up with the 2 firebombs and only one of all the other grenades?

    I like this map! You really made a great job at the interlocking, but it seems a little small for Ctf though. 1v1 slayer would be the best gametype for this map in my opinion. I will download this and try it out soon. 4.5/5 for now ;)

    neg-the weapons have to be more strateigcly placed. all u did was place them in a pile. never a good idea.

    pos-you did a beautiful job of merging. you have some really good ideas, but the weapons are'nt very strategicly placed. you might be better at making aestetics.

    cheers.

    Good job, seems a bit small, but it looks good.
    This is one of the few Competitive maps I've downloaded off Forgehub.

    5/5

    The weapons all take a while to spawn, and actualy are quite balanced.

    The map took about 6 4-hour days and 2 rebuilds before i got it right. a friend helped with the final build.

    and yes, I have a shitload of time on my hands and sacrifice ALOT of that time when I build maps.

    I really like the merging and the design/layout. It looks like a good FFA map but nothing else, maybe work on that. The pictures are adequate but could be better. All together a 2/5
