Debo37, mitona, and Mr McHaggis1 proudly present their latest creation:

Overview of Window Side




At first glance, this map may appear to be a giant pile of crap. If that is the opinion you hold, you are in no way incorrect. The geometry of this map was made in approximately three minutes, and that is not a joke. When mitona and Mr McHaggis1 loaded the map during a customs event, a few epic Infection games took place soon after, and I decided that I would make the map compatible with all gametypes, solely for the lulz. Spawn points, weapon placement, and even respawn areas are used competently and effectively. The map even hits the static object limit, which proves how awesome and great it is. [/sarcasm]

After I finished "modernizing" the map and playtested it thoroughly, I decided it was worthy of posting here. Because of the fact that it works best for Infection and Slayer, I decided to post it here in the casual maps section instead of the competitive section even though it works for all gametypes, solely because it looks more like a gimmick map.

Obviously, when editing it I had to adjust some pieces of scenery to allow for proper motion and lack of "OMG I'M STUCK" spaces, but aside from those changes, the map retains its "is this a giant pile of crap?" feel.

In objective/two-team games, the Attackers spawn near the windows of Foundry, on what I call "window side." They spawn near a Hammer.

The hammer lies near the base of a tower with a Machine Gun Turret and a good view of the back alley.

Closer to the default Foundry's base, an Overshield spawns atop a box inside the giant pile of stuff.




Conversely, Defenders spawn on the non-windowed side of Foundry. Defenders get a Sword instead of a Hammer, and a Ghost. The Ghost is useless anywhere other than the back alley, but is pretty much nerfed due to the Machine Gun Turret on attack side. It was only left in the map for the sake of having a vehicle to add to the randomness.

Defenders are nearer the Active Camouflage spawn, which is a very useful tool to have when navigating the pile of crap that is this map.


The map also boasts many neutral locations that will likely be fought over.

Sniper Tower floats in midair, true to the noobish cliche we have all established.


Rockets are placed against the "dividing barrier" in Foundry. Ironically, the fusion coils nearby obscure the "Danger" warning on the wall. That couldn't have been intentional...


In the area that is the default "window base" lies another awesomely noobish section: the fusion coil "Pit of Death."

Near the Pit of Death is a tower that can be climbed from the back or jumped up from the front. It holds a Sentinel Beam and a Regenerator.

Every single object is placed perfectly and the weapons are the most balanced I've ever seen. 10000/10 for the geo-merging, spawning, interlocking, aesthetics, and just plain epicness of the map. I can't believe anyone could ever make this. I <3 U

Front page for sure, right guys?

Hehe nice. It uses no interlocking or geo-merging. Err... I mean, the interlocks are beautiful because it's such a pro map! Duh! xD

[gordofrog]

looks cool might dl

[Scalpel Technique]

It doesn't look like a pile of crap, it looks like a steaming pile of crap. You suck!

P.S. when is v2.0 coming out, can't wait.

[mitona]

soon my child very soon

[gordofrog]

thats just not nice

[Travis The Hutt]

very neat looking, I will download and see how it is. I always liked maps like thins where it seems hard to get around. It make battles more fun.

[ALBINO RAMPAGE]

it looks fun but also like you dident put much though to how the boxes are placed, sry 1/5 not to get you down or anything thats just my openion

[T3CH N9NE]

It pains me to say this, as my critique is almost always constructive, but this looks absolutely horrible. Im not sure why you even posted this monstrosity, as your other map "High Haven" was actually a great map both aesthetically and play-wise. Im not sure how well this map would play even if it didnt burn holes in my retinas, due to the extreme amount of power weapons. I hope im not sounding like a flamer, because I am in no way trying to offend you or your forging skills. It just looks very, very bad. When my 360 returns I might consider downloading and giving a second review, depending on other players feedback.
