Curse of Curves

Curse of Curves is an aesthetic map that is also very playable. It is a two leveled map although about 90% of gameplay will probably be on the bottom floor due to the lack of cover and space on the top. This was one of my first maps that I put in more than a couple hours on and it was made about 5 minutes after I found out how to interlock so it is not the greatest but it is still fun.
On the side of the map by the weapons on the wall there is a room with cannon mans in it and they all face toward the door. There are two ways to get to the sword. Go around to the left or jump over them. I prefer jumping but going around provides a little more cover.
The tunnels are mostly one way but you can squeeze through by crouching and going to the sides. The citadel at the back of the map is good for cover but if you are camping in there with the hammer take note that there is a roof top entrance.
There is a room that you have to destroy the grav lift to get into and then take a cannon man to get up... The cannon man doesn't always get you up and a lot of times will shoot you back into the room.


There is a tunnel on the right and a just for fun little fan thing made from signs. Also there are steps leading to a rocket launcher and the doublebox open leads to a teleporter that takes you to the flame thrower.

This is the room and you can hit the wire spool to block the doorway.

This is one of the tunnels it has grenades inside.

Overview that shows the upper level that isn't really developed but its there.

This is the citadel. It is pretty much a weapon stash/ camping area. It has pallets in the middle of the roof that can be broken to drop in.

The weapons that are pretty much the deciders in this map and the room with the sword in the back.

So as I said it is very basic and one of my first but I think it is worth posting so here it is.

Edit: So I did what everyone said I should and I made the weapons on the wall have only 1 or no spare rounds and upped the respawn time. To make up for this I added other less uber weapons around the map. I fixed the cannon man problem and the escaping the map problem. I also have a weapons list because it was requested so here it is.

Weapons list:
x2 Battle Rifles
x2 Shotguns
x1 Sniper
x2 SMG's
x1 Needler
x1 Brute Shot
x2 Rocket launchers
x1 Spartan Laser
x1 Energy Sword
x2 Grav Hammers
x1 Carbine
x2 Maulers
x1 Fuel Rod
x1 Sentinel Beam
x2 Machine gun turret
x1 Flame Thrower

This weapon list is for V.2 but it is very close to V.1.

its not horrible, but it could use some work, if you post a v2 with cleaner interlocking, and maybe some geomerging, then i'll dl.

[SiN Fwang]

first things first. nice interlocking and things like that. looks like a fun map.

on the downside, there are WAY too many power weaopns on the last pic. if the respawn timewere higher and spare clip settings were lower, then that would be a different story. mabye a weapons list would help?

all in all, id give this a 3.5/5. keep on forging.

[JASONYO]

ya i agree with him^^^ armories and camping areas are usually avoided in maps because its unfair and unbalanced once someone controls it

[M.Jelleh]

Some of your interlocking could use some work, but I think it is good for the most part. You say it is playable, and it is, but I would suggest removing many of the power weapons. Also to prevent camping I would get rid of the shield doors on the citadel. However this is a great early post. Nice job buddy.

looks easy to escape the map, and after that explination, i still dont get it. wats its aesthetics take after?

[BarkusTheMan 1]

this is one craaaaaaaazy map! it has a very interesting design with a lot of odd features. looks good for some not-so-serious gameplay

[ZANDER1994]

I would change those weapons on the wall. That looks like an armory, which causes bad gameplay. Also, it needs some cleaning up in certain spots, like the wall bridge. You couldn't just walk cleanly across. It looks good enough, but you should make a v2.

I think I'll just put the weapons on the wall with no spare clips and a 45 second respawn to clear up that problem and take the hammer out of the citadel so it doesn't become too much of a camping area. As for the wall bridge it is very rough but I'm working on other maps at the moment so I won't be getting to fixing that for a while. I'll post a fixed map in a couple hours.
