A Bit of Info
Dreamcicle was started with one expiramental merge.
From there on, merges and interlocks pulled the map together.
The goal of Dreamcicle (other than DLs) was really to have a change from the, colorless and over-used, Foundry.

Over view of one side. The long platform is used ALOT.
The circle u see on it is home to a pair of plasma granades. The circle also DOESNT create a bump.
To the right and left you can see the "lilly pads" There is two merged walkways.
They meet in the middle above the teleporter on a stand, which has rockets.

The other side of the map. two merges can be seen, one ramp to needler
and one perge to make a platform for the sniper.also a small bunker with a few stickies.

Flood room has active camo, a BR, spikers and an energy drain.
The weapons might seem overwhelming but its isnt during actal gameplay.

Over view of flood room 2. It contains two plasma rifles behind the shield door,
and is close to needler spawn. This is where the teleporters go from the main room.
Both of the teles are two way and theyre used a lot.

The grav lift is one of the most important things.
its used to go from the walkways, to the long platform,
and to the rocket spawn.

The "lilly pads" are quick ways of jumping from the lower levels to the top.
Theyre very effective and may win you a BR fight.

merge by KillerK MSU

One of the best walls placed on this map.
(put in right before post)

Yes, I merged the mama oricle.
(there are more merges not shown in this thread)

<[{(Gameplay pics)}]>

I <3 rockets

Expect plenty of gravlift battles!!!

Just about every weapon will be used on the map.

Awesome stick by Jeten94.
Awesome death by KillerK.

Having high ground doesnt guarantee a kill!

jeten... what are u doing upside down...?

98.73 out of 100 I liked how u made a good map on a map that is not a good forging map the wepon placement is blanced which is good for team doubles.

This looks nice! Like that you made it on cold storage. Foundry will get old sometimes. I like how you made all of these walk ways and platforms. I also like that you merged together the wall with the big oracle. Nice job on the map. Overall, 5/5.

This is an incredible map. As much as aesthetics can go on a cold storage map you have really focused on gameplay while making it as aesthetically pleasing as possible. My point being you have made a map with great gameplay but it also has good aesthetics. I am stunned by some of your merges. I believe that the monitor merge was just done by having the head face another way while you placed the wall and when the head turns it interlocks itself.

I am stunned by some of these merges. Not that I couldn't do them but they look to be very time consuming and difficult with the palette of cold storage. Could you send me a PM with you lineup for these.

Overall this is an impressive map and I would hope to see more from you in the future. Does this finish off your lineup of heroic and legendary maps. I hope to play some more games on this in the future.

ACTUALLY, the monitor has an invisable bubble around it. so nomatter where its facing its annoying as hell to merge. u gotta merge it like every thing else. and i dont reccomend merging on CS, the energy blockers are horrible!!!! and the teleporters are cappy braces.
thanks for the feed back

nodes. i found this out by just fooling around.

Yea I just downloaded this and it is a pretty nice map but cold storage is just not a good map to forge,its just like you added a couple gravity lifts,but i guess,good map.6/10

haseoice · 02-13-2009

i know people may call this spam, but all i canreally say is wow. this is impressive, and it's done on one of the worst forge maps. 10/10 man... 10/10.

Dizfunky · 02-14-2009

Impressive.

I'm glad someone made a map on something OTHER than Foundry. It's very original, and it looks like you put a whole lot of time into this map.

My favorite part is the grav-lift to the walkway of wall corners. Very creative.

RaBBiiTTT · 02-14-2009

Interesting, I saw the video on youtube a day ago and I was really impressed of your work. You made Cold Storage feel different in your map which has good aesthetics and some unique structures.

I strongly suggest keeping only 2 power weapons seeing that this is a medium-sized map. Also, you could have included Juggernaut. Nice job.
