Sandbox Affliction - Page 2

Hmm when I played on this with a party the spawns did seem very annoying (though this has already been said) The LOS really wasn't as bad as the review stated either.

You see, this map is very large, and when large maps are played with a small amount of people there isn't much action. So I'm saying if you played a 3v3 on this map, there won't be as much competition for the spartan laser, and it might be much easier to get the flag. But I'm sure it would work! Give it a swing, and tell me how it went!

About the weapon commentary.. umm... yeah. It was like 1:00am when my cousin and brother got off my Xbox. I wrote down a list of the weapons, and came back to type them up. I always stick in that commentary, I can't stand not having any non-bolded words in between the weapons. I might have recently developed OCD or something, but I always have to make everything I do the same.. I don't know why.

So it turns out that I am more creative when I'm tired.

Although I appreciate your post and all, what do you mean by "Nothing new"? Have you seen a map with a Sniper Cove off in the dunes before? Have you seen a map with this same middle structure? If you don't see anything new here, then where have you seen these structures used before? You kinda switch back and forth with your statements. I mean, you like not having anything new on a map?

There are not any floating things off to the side. Perhaps you have mistaken the sniper cove for a floating thing. But picture descriptions, really!? It's not that I hate you because of what you did to my last map, but I think I have OCD, and I really need to keep each of my posts the same. Besides, what good would picture descriptions do you?

EDIT: WTF? Rofl rating of 4 stars!? But everybody has been saying 5/5. I wish I could add a poll to this thread! Why can't I add a poll to this thread!

i didnt rate your map 4/5.... i havent even rated it yet.

and in the first pic in the middle the floating things.... i was just wondering what they were.

and pic discriptions would help to even out the wrinkles of what things are (like i said in the last little paragraph... i didnt know what they were) thats would you could do.
maybe im just toooo nit picky :P
nice work tho i like this map a lot. honestly.

Oh, I see where you got confused. The floating things you see are in face not floating at all. Those are the beams sticking out of the ground at the sniper cove out in the dunes.

I didn't say YOU rated my map poorly, I said SOMEONE rated my map poorly. Also, very sorry, but I'm strange like that. I can't change this thread's format in any way at all. It will drive me crazy to have picture descriptions when none of my other maps have them. Sorry, but I think the post looks fine the way it is. It's the map I'm concerned about.

How about some of you run a few actual games on the map. That would be nice to see people actually playing the map.

ummm alright well as you know: i dont have the mythic maps (yes not yet still... im poor :( haha) but ill go over to my friends and try it out

Milk Assasin · 04-21-2009

this map is AMAZING! the bases are well built, and the way youve merged the pillars into the sand dunes is INCREDIBLE! absolutely love it, u have my downld easily :) look forward to playing it!

EDIT: forget what i said above. ive changed my mind after playing on the map. i do think that the overall idea behind the map is good. however, now that ive played on it, ive found some major problems.
1) the warthogs - they are wayyy to overpowering on this map which has little cover outside the bases. 2 warthogs either side is too much, reduce the ammount.
2)the sniper cove is a good idea, however anyone who gets out there will be found to be wearing earplugs very shortly after as the constant beeping that warns u of being to close to mine field or w/e it is gets extremely annoying, even if there for just a short period of time.
3) the group of us who played on the map found the bases to be plain and boring (although they are a good idea) and became very frustrated when a warthog or chopper got into the base by going up the verge behind it and around the wall, causing them to splatter/spray everything until somehow u manage to kill them with w/e u spawn with.
4) the gameplay was horrible, mainly caused by the warthogs being to overpowering like i said before.

On a positive note: I really like the way u merged the pillars into the sand, its gives a really good effect, but is let down by the points above.

Sorry if i sound horrible, but think of it as constructive criticism, that i hope u will take into consideration, and perhaps change/update ur map.
For Now: 5/10

this map is great, it is not symmetrical, but is perfectly well balanced, the side structures are a neat feature, and the map overall is very original, nice aesthetics, you managed to merge, geo merge and interlock in one map on sandbox, the middle could use a little cover off to the sides, but other than that, its great.

5/5 great forging conker

Milk Assasin · 04-22-2009

LMAO! i was warned you didnt like critisicm, and now i know why!
for ur information, i did play a proper game on ur map 5 vs 5 team slayer, and the warthogs WERE overpowering! the bases ARE boring and plain, the beeping noise IS annoying and YOU shouldnt have built the cove so far out when u knew the noise was there! so yes that is a complaint about YOUR map not sandbox. there is NOT enough cover outside of the bases! and the warthogs CAN drive straight in the back of the bases which ruins everything! and yes ok the bases do have cover (i never said they didnt) but not when a warthog is parading around the inside! obviously u will disagree with all of this, but then u wud, its ur map! but when u wake up and face reality, sort it out, cos for now, it stinks...

Zombievillan · 04-22-2009

This looks pretty cool. It seems like the only safe way to make it across from base to base is on a vehicle, which may not be too bad, but may also be faulty. Im sure its okay though if you tested it which you used the guild so Im sure it would have been brought to your attention if it was no good. I am sure to DL this and check it out on my own because it looks very pleasing. IDK why, but it reminds me of Valhalla, though it looks completly different. Good job.

These bases have multiple levels, and unique set ups. They are also geomerged into the base of the dunes! It's to late to fix the cove, because what's done is done. But nobody else I have tested the map out with, found this annoying. There is plenty of cover outside of the bases, and I cannot prevent the warthogs from driving straight in the back of the bases. There are plenty of spawns outside of the bases to the point where you will not get spawn camped!

I take feedback that makes sense well. Not random feedback like this! If I were to listed to you, and change what you want me to about my map. I would have to change the entire map because of you. Seeing as you don't like the bases, the sniper cove, or the cover around the bases. I would have to change EVERYTHING BUT THE MIDDLE STRUCTURE! Reasonable feedback, I take. But this is just stupid.

With a missile pod, rocket launcher, and spartan laser on the map, you might be stupid if you can't destroy the warthogs. With all the cover around the bases, if I made more, it wouldn't be an open map now would it? I have been told it's to crowded! I agree that it's to crowded! But now you're here telling me it's to empty!?

I know I'm not supposed to judge you by your rank on this site or anything, but I don't think I'm going to change my map for you.

Once again, it's not that I don't take feedback well. It's that your feedback is ridiculous.

Edit: You do realize there is also a chopper on the map, you know you can boost with the chopper right? And that boost can destroy vehicles, such as the warthog. You knew these things, right?

Wow u really dont take feedback well. i gave my opinion of your map, which is the general idea behind this thread? is it not? and now ur throwing it back in my face! u are plain rude! i cant believe uve gotten so worked up just because i said that i didnt like ur map and suggested changes, and then u call me liar saying that i hadnt even played a proper game on it? well excuse me "mr know it all" have u sat in my house and watched me play xbox? NO! have u somehow been using satelites to spy on me when im playing xbox? NO! so dont acuse me of lying when u dnt even have the facts to prove it! everone is entitled to their own opinion and i gave u mine! if u cant deal with that fact that not everyone is going to bow down to ur wishes and like ur map, then u have major issues! i read some of your other posts (castle crashers) and uve treated others in a similar way, especially darksoulll, just because they have asked u too explian how ur map works a little better? cmon, not everyone will work it out from the description given, some people need more, but u get annoyed and go off the rails! personally i find this outragous behaviour.

And as for the warthogs, u could block the back of the bases. and also if 1 warthog is inside the base, and the other is outside the base, how can i not get spawn camped? -.- and if im constantly being spawn killed how do u expect me to get the power weapons to take out the warthogs? u know im making sense u just cba to see it!

At the end of the day, i dont like you or your map.

So now you do admit that your spawns were messed up?
Well to be brutally honest, I wasn't impressed that much with this map. It is better than quite a few other maps out there, but its just not worth the precious space on my hard drive. I could write a super huge review for this, but I already did for the test, and I don't wanna go there again.

The map I guess would play ok now that the spawns are fixed (or so you say), but I just don't know about any truly innovative gameplay at all. Definitely nothing new, thats for sure.
