    Historical records show people lived in coloured submarines MED. SUB BASE FFA MAP SLYR P.SLYR H.HUNT O.BALL by Ezekeil2Ofive17

    Download Sub Version

    Overview
    [​IMG]

    Sub Version is a medium size free for all map for 2-10 players

    The design originally started as sort of a sword base type map without a floor but I didn't like the flow so I started to add an island type structure which eventually started to look like a submarine and the rest is history

    The design is open simple and clean action in the rear and lower sections is focus on quarters and the upper sides on long range combat

    This map has been tested extensively and plays very well, power slayer is my personal favourite but slayer and head hunter are good too. The action is varied and does kind of play like a faster, smaller sword base without camping

    This map looks very nice. The submarine is a nice focal point and looks great. The whole base around it also looks very well built and I like the layout. Looks like it would be fun for some FFA games. Good weapons balance too. No suggestions at this time but I'll try to get a game on it soon and get some more feedback.

    Heck, best submarine map I've ever seen, though that should be taken with a grain of salt. some of the halls look a little generic (like they have been used in a few maps before) but that is getting hard not to do anymore with indoor maps. With all the maps out there, this is a nice original design all the same, and I value originality in maps very highly.

    I'm glad you got this posted, it was a blast to play on. The aesthetics were amazing, especially the sub. The gameplay was great and didn't seem unbalanced at all. Also, there was no framerate issues whatsoever. Great map all round' IMO. Keep it up Zeke.

    Best submarine EVER!
    I like how you incoporated it into the map. The rest of the stuff you built looks cool too.
    Downloading now.
    I will check back later after i looked at it in forge mode. And maybe I can get a game going on it too.

    Prime example of good use of Forge World! I always enjoy seeing maps which have a distinct theme. The water level definitely justified the submarine stationed within the dock. As far as for the map layout I can see that you carefully considered your lines of sight. The bulkheads designs made out of the two braces turned out very nice.
    I congratulate you on this fine piece of work.

    Finally you posted this! I've been playtesting this with you since day 1 and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. There did seem to be too many power weapons on the map though but nevertheless was a blast to play. Good Work!

    Thanks a lot of time was taken over the sight lines and then making the map as simple as possible

    The bulkheads are my second favourite part of this map because of the way they affect gameplay and they way they look

    Thank you for your help testing and just for the record you joined at about "day 8" of the testing!

    As for the power weapons there are really only 2 the con rifle and gr launcher, the rockets are very exposed and only have 2 shots and the sword and shotgun are only really effective in certain areas

    Its not like there is any area and weapon combination that can dominate the game

    With 8 players its perfect

    I like the map. I like the submarine. I am surprised with the game types you support (you did not list slayer).

    So that the moderators don't tap me for my very short and vague appreciative statement above as SPAM, i would just point out that your respawn zone is totally useless, since it covers the entire map, and thus offers no change in functionality of any of the spawn points. Again, not a problem, just to avoid being tapped by the mods (the one mod has yet to apologize for overreacting to an earlier post I made).
