Symmetrics Symmetrics is very similar to a map i made on foundry a while back when i first got the game, which whent down well but the Wraiths and Gauss Warthogs where a little overkill. So with the release of Sandbox i decided to make a fairer, more playable, more enjoyable version. I realise now that the map probably belongs in the competetive maps section, oh well. So, now to the map. It is exactly the same both sides of the wall (scenery, weapon placements, equipment placements ...) including the bases. Here is an overview of the map: Here is an overview of the bases: Here are some more pictures of the bases: Weapons on map: 2 Shotguns (20 secs respawn) 2 Needlers (30 secs respawn) 2 Plasma Pistols (20 secs respawn) 2 Rocket Launchers (60 secs respawn) 2 Missile Pods (90 secs respawn) 2 Machine Gun Turrets (45 secs respawn) 2 Sniper Rifles (60 secs respawn) 2 Brute Shots (30 secs respawn) 2 Battle Rifles (20 secs respawn) 2 Spartan Lasers (60 secs respawn) 1 Flamethrower (60 secs respawn) Equipment on map: 4 Plasma Grenades (10 secs respawn) 2 Invisibilities (60 secs respawn) 2 Bubble Shields (45 secs respawn) 1 Power Drain (45 secs respawn) 2 Regenerators (30 secs respawn) 1 Trip Mine (30 secs respawn) Vehicles on map: 2 Ghosts (45 secs respawn) 2 Warthogs (45 secs respawn) 2 Mongoos's (10 secs respawn) Important information: The map works best with 4 players but still works well as a 3v3 map. This map works well with all preset CTF, assault and Team Slayer, however you can use it with your own custom gametypes if you wish. if you do find one that works well please send it to me. The floor for this map was borrowed from runNOKYARDrun's "Grifball High", i do have permission to use this. There is a small window behind the Warthog in each base that looks into the other base without being able to shoot or pass anything through it because it is coverd with a shield door. The wall cannot be jumped over. The shield doors at the back of the map stop the vehicles falling off the map while not being cover for people. The map is merged, where needed but it is not a major part of the limited asthetics of the map. Most of the weapons are inside the bases. Most of the equipment is outside the bases. All of the vehicles are inside the bases. Download the map here My gamertag is "Prodigious 7k" if you want to contact me.
Looks like a different sort of setup there. Looks well Built too. You may want and overview pic that's on an angle so you can see that divider wall better. Its a little small for vehicles too.
i have recently updated the map slightly because there was a way over the wall but that has now been fixed, however the pictures are missing the update but it isnt a major part of the map.
Thanks for the comment, i am very proud of this map because of its emmence 2v2 gameplay and i was worrying that the thread was dying with so few people downloading the updated version. Any more comments are welcome, Good or bad.
Ya, it seems a little too open on the sides. Other than that It looks like you took your time on it and you did a great job with the detailing. Try moving the bruteshot away from the sniper ;D Usually weapons like that don't usually spawn right next to each other.
It looks good, and the only thing that worries me is that you have 11 power weapons on fast respawns for a map which you recommend for 2v2. That seems like overkill, but I suppose it could work out to make for fast-paced gameplay... 4/5
You have a point, but the power weapons make the gameplay very mixed because you can, instead of going straight for the rocket launcher or laser, go for any of the other power weapons, making the gameplay more varied and more fun. This is why i originally posted the map in casual maps, because of the way there is less seriousness than an mlg map and, for alot of people more fun.
