    Description: Not even the Flood could halt the everlasting war waged between the Reds and the Blues. 4-12 players


    First off I wish to start by telling you that this map might seem familiar as it has been announced before in an earlier unbalanced version requesting feedback and play-testers.

    [​IMG]

    I did enlist many play-testers and substitutes for the play-testers for a play-test, but unfortunately almost no one showed up. Luckily for me, a guy named IXI Sparky showed up and helped me fix my map by giving me some feedback on how he felt about the map and what could use some changing and perfecting.

    A few days later he and some friends were playing together in a 4v4 party and they then decided to try out my map, he then proceeded to send me a film of the game so that I might oversee the flow of the game as an observer. I was very pleased with what I saw.

    Looks great man, my only concerns are that its abit flat and there seems to me not much cover on it. If you want help testing or playing then give us a shout. Ill download and have a look.

    Also I think everyone should stop with the whole water idea now its getting abit samey!!!

    From looking at the Screenshots, I believe I am noticing little things that bug me.

    The maps player movement pattern is made up of walking from walkway, which seem open and could use buildings and other covers in between because a Jet-Packer would dominate the map flying from one walkway to another killing everyone.

    Agreed, it looks like it could be very easily dominated by a single person with a jetpack due to the condensed frame created by the pathways and the seemingly lacking amount of cover. Maybe make a new version that is more spread out with blocks, or if you dont like the blocks, add some another level of walkway bridges and make more of them for the first and second levels to lessen the condension of players on them. And it may be just me, but when I first looked at the picture of your map, the walkways seem to form a swastica looking figure... I figure that was purly unintentional, but some others might take offense to tht if they saw what I saw on first glance. Maybe find some way to fix it, make more curves of something midway through the walkways so as to distort the image. But overall, seems like a good map for people to practice on. Good Job

    28 spawns isn't alot
    and you probably can't put more because walkway style maps are crap for spawning (i tried too)
    please tell me they are not team assigned, because then I think it would be too easy to spaen trap
