Oubliette



OUBLIETTE
Oubliette-A secret dungeon with an opening only in the ceiling, as in certain old castles.

Hello, again! I'm back with my fourth map, Oubliette! This map is a very good and fun map, and I hope you like it and downlad. As always, comment, criticize, and rate, and tell me what to fix and improve. Thanks.

DESCRIPTION

Oubliette is a symmetric team-based map that is built in the crypt. It can play anything. For this map, I tried to use a new kind of architecture, Brute Architecture. More like carved stone, it gives an ancient, rocky mystical feel to it, and I think it looks fantastic. This map has many different variations of levelment, from high on the arches of the Shotgun Tunnel to the bottom pits under the ramps and bases. The map is completely symmetrical, and each team is given the same things, and it plays smooth and nice, and kick-ass fun. This map took about a week to make and I took my time into everything, even though I'm not perfect, but I put effort into this. There is a lot of examples of interlocking and geo-merging in the map. Now, to the story!

STORYLINE

The ancient covenant race of the Brutes have fought valiantly in battle, charging and mauling the enemy that trembles in fear. Before sundown, a pack of these giant barbaric killers would have slaughtered an entire OSDT army. There leader, Tartarus, and other high-ranking official believe torture and negotioation tactics prove useful when dealing with people know valuable knowledge and intel. The brutes bring back squad leaders to be talked with. The Brutes where stubborn to do this, because it seemed everytime they would either eat them alive in frustration, or drop the into the oubliette. The Oubliette was a hell on Earth for anyone who was banished to it. They'd be dropped approximately 1000 feet to the bottom of the Oubliette, and left to starve or commit suicide, since the only way out was through the hole in which they were dropped, and the walls are slanted and the hole thin. More captives are dropped down to claim this site as their grave, and there seems to be a surplus of P.O.W.s during the attack on Harvest. You were the first one down there. You have the weapons to kill. Cannibalism just seems like a new gametype for you here, doesn't it? Getting hungry for some human? You better be, because down here, it's eat or be eaten.

love the map, the interlocking looks nice and crisp, there could be a little more cover at the base though

Nice looking map, i agree though that it could do with a bit more cover at the bases, but overall it looks well put together. DL and 4.5/5.

This looks like a very nice map. I agree that there should be more cover at the base or make them bigger. It also looks like there it could use more cove around the sides.

This map looks really nice aesthetic wise. I like the big tunnel. I also like the fact that instead of putting both a shotgun and a gravhammer that used the symmetry options. Good job. The base doesn't need any more cover in my opinion. I think it's fine as is. Good job once again.

I came when I saw this, dude. I think the community is finally starting to produce epic maps on Sandbox, like Foundry now! I really love the way that the bases are set up, and the middle structure, too! Good job.

Hey man, I just played this today with two friends and we loved it! The middle structure is awesome; especially the pink orb. We liked that a lot. Our only complaints are that:

1. It's a little too dark for our liking.
And
2. The two bases seem a little small.

Other than that, we thought that this was a superb map. The weapons I think are good. Good number of BRs and other weapons in my opinion. The vehicles definetly went with the map and played well. We also love the Carbine towers on top of each of the bases. So, I give you a 4.8/5
Great job, just see if you can do anything about the lighting and the bases. (Understand if you can't, you are close to budget) Can't wait to see the v2!

Edit:

Whoops I forgot one more thing, there also needs to be a little more cover by the speed bumps. It's just a tad too open. Maybe a column right in the middle of the speed bump would do?
