This is, or rather, will be my throwdown submission. I started designing the very night the tourney was announced, sketching the entire layout onto a piece of paper. The layout actually hasn't changed much from the paper design, aside from a small pathway and other little things. It features a massive middle atrium, a gigantic death pit, an intensly long bridge, and a man cannon which spans the entirety of the map. Enjoy this forge-porn. A massive thanks to Reflex Ion for uploading these images, and a big hug to all of my testers thus far. However, testing is not complete, so expect more alterations in the final version.
It looks pretty nice rorak. I like the use of the glass cover for railing. As well as the low platform near the water pit made out of walkway covers. Good stuff broskii
What happened to Grumpy Garbage!? D: I loved that name. lol I have only ran around this, never really played it, but the only problem I found was that the big mancannon shot me onto the center bridge. Which used to have the rockets on it. Obviously, it's now a sword. Anyways, lookin' sexy. Good luck.
I love and hate you for that. There have been some hilarious moments on that man cannon. Erupt, the man cannon doesn't land you on the bridge, so you can't get the sword from it. Cartograph, thanks a bunch. I'm still working with it, but it's getting very close to completion.
It looks nice overall, I like the simplicity of the aesthetics. For example, that bridge looks great even though, as far as I know, you used nothing more than the pieces used to make the floors to create the design. The lines of sight seem to provide for some nice confrontations, so I commend you on that design. I'm likin' the whole chasm of death thing too. Those things are fun for the whole family.
I changed a few things, I'd love to get tests tomorrow whenever I get the chance. Changes: -Removed a spawn -Added slight cover to the bridge -adjusted the ceiling -Small aesthetic changes to preserve objects -Weaponset adjustments Message me tomorrow a little around 5pm MST if anyone would care to play this badboy. Oh, and for those that can't wait, the map's in my fileshare.
With most maps, you have to opt for a more competitive or casual type of play. However, I think you pulled off the design so superbly that you were able to incorporate both. I'm not saying casual in the sense that you still aren't playing to win, it's just a lot more awesome, in the simplest terms, to fly off a man-cannon, stick someone, and kill them, rather then just another DMR battle. Basically what I'm trying to say is that it has a great design, good game-play mechanics, and just the right amount of shenanigans to make the map as fun as it is to play.
