    Bonjour senor. I'm sure you know what this is about.

    Pathfinder's Promise
    6v6 Strongholds

    Edit: threw it at Stray tonight. 6v6 worked well so 6v6 it is. If you read this post before this edit, you can ignore all of that and just treat it as a standard playtest.

    This is my first ever competitive map (I usually make minigames), so I could really use some constructive criticism in regards to any aspect of competitive mapmaking (spawning, weapon placement and choices, same for vehicles, balance, atmosphere/immersion, and even just general tips for forging future maps [my budget limit is just about maxed out here]).

    I want to add that Strongholds has a different weapon pads and a different powerup than Slayer or CTF.

    I tried making a new system that adds last man standing waypoints and I'd like to see if it actually works. And when I said "tried making" I mean I utterly failed and got ArturBloodshot to help me out.

    Map Name: 3K Smash

    Gametype Requested and Player Count: 3K Smash (custom gametype) with player counts of 8-16.

    Short description: A remake of the classic Counter Strike: Source minigame by 3kliksphilip. Survive on perilous platforms as tanks rain down and topple them over. If you get to the middle, you can hop in a Phaeton and knock over other platforms, or pick up the blackhole railgun and send your enemies to their doom.

    Gametype Link (If needed): Link here

    I need to know if the game is fun and works without any huge glitches or required rebalancing.

    There is a known bug in that the spinner sometimes disengages from the joints. I might be able to fix this in the future.

    It will be visible this time...

    Map name: Gym 117
    Gamertag: CaptainDireWolf
    Players: 4v4
    Game type: slayer or strongholds
    Description: This map was of course inspired by a workout gym, where I tried to incorporate adequate flow of gameplay through fun jumps and different heights to make things interesting and replayable. Looking for suggestions for weapon placements and overall "entertainment" factor of the map. Thanks!
