Skulls



Few are left who know the ture meaning behind the giant red skull even fewer who know about the blue skull CTF N.BOMB CONQUEST

ATLAS POST


RED SKULL

BLUE SKULL

OVERVIEW 1

OVERVIEW 2



DOWNLOAD SKULLS

Skulls{AKA The Red Skull} is a symmetrical map set up for objective games.This map is designed,and does,play like a smaller version of default sandbox most of the weapons are still there with a few additions.The platform in front of the mouth is roughly the same height as the s.box bases and there are numerous ways in and out of the courtyards below.

Inside the mouth{s} is the flag spawn points and the return is on the top of the tongue there are also 2 tunnels and areas in front of the jawbone that add a lot to the gameplay


WEAPONS,VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT

The weapon layout is symmetrical in each base there are -

MONGOOSE side of the base
WARTHOG - near the edge of the base

SPIKE G. - On the tip of the tongue
BATTLE RIFLE x2 - Leaning against the flat block in each base
PLASMA G x2 -next to the B rifles
MAGNUM x 2 against the internal wall next to the mongoose
BRUTE SHOT -opposite the magnums inside base

BUBBLE SHIELD- next to the red column next to the warthog
TRIP MINE -
REGEN- inside the shielded starting areas
POWERDRAIN - behind the higher slit wall

Outside the bases behind the double walls there is

SHOTGUN - 1 clip 90 sec behind the walls

ROCKET LAUNCHER - 2 rockets 120 sec opposite the shotgun

Along the centre line there is

SPIKE G. - either side beneath the arches
FLAMETHROWER - right in the middle
GRAV LIFT - next to the flamethrower
TRIP MINE - either end between the gold columns


Outside the bases are the most used respawn points as with the default sandbox layout they are behind the large corner blocks to the side of the skulls and there are more in and around the bases.

The starting points are directly underneath the skulls behind the shield doors for all gametypes,mainly for the visual impact of the giant skull staring at you!

This is the third and final evolution of the red skull everything has been smoothed out and the tunnels and new jawbone area add to the gameplay

Thanks for reading

enjoy!

Just by looking at the pictures this map looks very fun. The skulls are really awesome and as far as I know are pretty original. I would give this a 9/10. Really cool.

EDIT: I played. Jaw droppingly fun 10/10

Wow man this looks freakin awesome. I can't wait to check this out here in a minute. The skulls look aesthetically pleasing and I like how the mouth/jaw bone area is where the flag spawns. The layout seems pretty interesting too. One question though, how are you supposed to play conquest on this. It doesn't really look like conquest but hey, what do I know. lol anyways overall this looks awesome and hopefully it plays awesome.
Aesthetics--5/5

If there's one thing that mankind has never learned from history, it is war.

First thank you I am pleased you like it

While this is not a strict conquest map like the very cool gold rush it is still fun the 5 points are-

the center
in each base courtyard
in front of the mouths

It works well however ctf and n bomb work better

Wow that has to be one of the best if not the best symmetrical map in the game. The aesthetics are great, it stands way out above the rest. And it looks like it PLAYS well too! Wow, one hell of a map. Can't wait to try it out.

This might actually be a new feature

My best maps maps:
TC Conference B (slayer)
Skyscraper MT--A Monster Trucks map, remake of the Mario Kart 64 battle map

ok, so i do have to say, this is probly the best symmetrical map on sandbox, and others might agree. Adding the "Skulls" makes an awsome aesthetically feeling, if that would make since lol. I love the design for the Flag/Bomb cap from action picture #2. you dont see that kind that often. Addding one the of filters to change the color kinda makes it bright in my opinion. Well i dont have anything else to say sadely, its just a really nice map to me, so nice job with the map, keep it up

The first thing I thought when looking at this map was that it was an accidental post that should have been artistic but then I actulaly saw the map part. I gotta say nice job you mixed fun gameplay and visual awe inspiring structures nice work.

By the way if you throw a grav lift onto one of the damaged columns you can get to the top of the skulls just thought I would let you know if you have cash you may want to hold them down. If you don't know of the weird gravlift damaged column rocket combo try it just throw a grav lift on one to see what I mean.

I am fully aware of the grav lift column combo and you can NOT get on the skulls using it in combat so you gain no advantage its also a watse of the grav lift which serves fits numerous roles

The reason that the columns are there is because they move when pushed with the hog and add variety to the gameplay which is why they are not just small columns

the grav lift also adds a great amounf of fun to the gameplay throwing vechiles and players into the air and being use for quick access to the flag area so it is staying

Every aspect of this map has been considered and tested exstensivley
