Caves R Us/Eternal Fountain


Download Map




Caves R Us

Author: Sir Toppum Hat 1

Summary:
This is my first and latest map that I have posted on Forge Hub.
The map is surrounded by sheering cliffs formed by surrounding mountains.
There are two bases. One on top of the waterfall and the other carved into the cliff.
The main cave travels under the map connecting the two bases together. The other cave was formed by years of erosion by the water fall and travels under the map from one side to the other. Unlike other maps that just have open boxes in a row to make a hallway, I put slanted walls and floors that creates an atmosphere of a real cave or tunnel you would see in a mountain rang.
Above the caves are wide open spaces. (great for epic battles)

There is no specific game type for this map, but I do recommend ether slayer or team slayer. (Other game types are not currently set up on this map)

Because this map is relatively small I
Recommend a party size from 4-8 players

Name
The original name of the map was caves, but that was to lame for a map like this so I pondered over some possible names but never found one that I liked. I temporarily called it Caves R Us just because I thought it was somewhat funny and never got around to changing it.



The Eternal Fountain (updated version of Caves R Us)
The name of the updated version if this map is going to be, The Eternal Fountain.
The Eternal Fountain is a cave in Northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
It consist of one waterfall and many passage ways that dip below the earths surface leading to underground caves.

In EternalFountain I have fixed all of the annoying bumps that you got stuck on in the floor. Also I have moved the shield doors on the bases so that they stick half way up from the ground. That way you had a chance when a person with a sward was coming towards you, but you are still protected by bullets from long range.
The waterfall has also been completely redone. It looks more realistic and plays much better.
I have also made it so you don’t have to crouch any more to get the active camo.
Also I have removed the sentinel beam from the map, and have moved weapons around.

Overall the map is a lot cleaner.

The updated version is on my file share I just haven’t posted it yet on Forgehub, I’ve been very busy lately. So if you would like to see the updated version without seeing any pics click here

Re: Caves R Us

Welcome to Forgehub! I was wondering when you were going to show up here. You first map looks pretty good, but I think it could use a little cleaning up from the look of the pictures. But that could just be from all of the interlocking. I love the waterfall, its a nice aesthetic touch. I think we'll be seeing more and more waterfalls since Two Salty Nut's map Rat Tunnels was released. I'll have to run through it in forge to give you a more detailed opinion though. Good first post.

Re: Caves R Us

It looks like an interlocking dream but there could be some cleaning up. If you clean it up you got a 9.5/10 from me but until then 8/10.

Re: Caves R Us

I love the way you made the geometry. Completely messed up, and not straight lines like how most maps are. Bravo.

Whatever was said in the above post, unless told otherwise, please take personally. I enjoy getting hate messages. I make this little sandwiches out of them, you see. They're quite delicious.
