Moon Waffle

Moon Waffle
What would they taste like?

OVERVIEW:

If the map name isn't crazy enough to blow your mind, the gameplay certainly will. The map, designed around lines of sight, ensures that no spot is safe from crossfire. You must use teamwork to secure victory. The map itself has a balance of confined areas and wide open areas, perfect for that grenade/BR combo that we all have come to love. The map also makes use of symmetry options for some refreshing gameplay. But the key component of this map is the elevator.

MAP DETAILS:

Players Supported: 2-6 (Recommended: 2v2)
Gametypes Supported: All standard gametypes (Recommended: CTF, Slayer, Assault)
For CTF, I would suggest Flag at home to score and a shorter respawn time for maximum fun.

THE ELEVATOR

Some call it "The Pallet Parade Killer." While Shock Theta has called it "Godly," but I'll let you decide for yourself. The video below should help with that.

THANKING SECTION:

Thanks to all of the testers who have given suggestions and advice. Thanks to PonyDx for helping with the water effect, and NeverlessWonder for help with a particularly stubborn GeoMerge. Also, special thanks to Tender Bisquit for this beautifully organized post, which I shamelessly stole and replaced with my map's information.

This surely is one of the most innovative maps I've seen in a while here on ForgeHub. The most precious maps IMHO come from the ones who rarely release their maps, but when they do, they are jewels. The elevator is ingenious, amazingly constructed. The map's lines of site are visible from the pictures, and I'll be sure to give this a download and a closer look. Great job yet again Devinish, great job yet again...

Wow, that elevator is the cleanest, best-working, and coolest one i've ever seen. I would've liked to seen some more pics. I'll dl and check the rest of the map.

I really like how the elevator has doors to it. I'm downloading to see how gameplay will turn out. Some items appeared to be crooked, but who knows, maybe you did that on purpose, or i'm going blind.

this map is a true beauty, the pic at the top is sets the mood of the map, dont even get me started about that beautifull elevator switch!. . .why name it moon waffle?

SoLo92 · 11-23-2008

could use an overview pic. but it looks pretty good. it kinda looks jumbled up in some places but im sure thats just a part of the map. over all its a 5/5. ill DL for sure. The evelator looks simply amazing!!
Edit: i found a place in the elevator where u can hide forever and no one can kill you!!!!!!!!!!! all u have to do is take the elavator down and the door doesnt spawn automaticly. so u just jump up, wait a little bit and you cant be killed!

Glad to see this finally released Devin. I sure had a hell of a time testing it, and with the little changes you've made. I know this is the best it can be. The elevator is for sure my favorite part of this, I know that it is one of the most innovative parts of any map I've seen in a while. In my opinion, more so than Pallet Parade. No offense to Cosmic, but this is just more gameplay-oriented.

Everything else works amazingly, and gameplay is great. Multi-Flag was definitely one of my favorites. Although slayer is still really enjoyable.

I'll see you on the front page Moon Waffle!

EDIT: Please don't spam and/or double post Deathhawk. Especially in the map section. It is extremely frowned upon, and disrespectful.

DL foe show. Omg I was wondering what everyone was talking about with the elevator, and then i saw the vid, Ugh aegg (Having a forge-attack). Im definitaly going to have to give this map a forge-through just to see elevator (Ok i guess ill look at the map, lol). Great job
5/5

You already know I have tested this map.

You already know I love this map.

You already know that this will be featured based solely on it's epicness.

We already know that when it does get featured someone will bitch about staff only featuring other staff members maps.

We already know that this is living proof that staff members actually have (*gasp!*) some serious skill at Forge.

I love the name of the map, lawl :0)

The sight lines and clustered yet familiar feeling makes this map play like a dream. One game and you will have the map memorized and you'll want to come back and play and play again. Good work Dev, and Pallet Parade killer it just may be.
