Pulse is a competitive map, capable of being played with almost all gametypes. This map is on the main level of Sandbox, forged with almost all of the "Forging 101" techniques, and made in about 7-8 hours. I started with a basic outline for my map, and added in 2 bases, some walk ways, outside paths, and other fun things. There are many small bunkers, a geo-merged pathway to a sniper tower, and other things too.

This map is best played with 3 vs 3, but can go up to 5vs5 or higher. This map is mainly interlocked, with many geo-merging feature's into the ground floor, and dunes.

The gametype's that I made this map for, and what it works well with are as follow:Slayer, Team slayer, Capture the flag, Territories, Oddball, and King of the hill.

I like to believe that the defender's should actually have to try to defend, and hold thier bases and positions. This is why I made them have a smaller, more unprotected base, compared to the attacker's. You can see this by scrolling down, and looking at the screenshot's.

This is so simplistic but its a great layout and i C the amount of effort you put in it. I love it 5/5 id suggest put a warthog in it if u can theres alot of open space so i vehicle wouldnt be bad.

It has a very unique layout and I love the structures, but it just looks to open in the middle, even if you have vehicles. And the bridges have absolutely no cover. Just something to think about in a V2.

Add a ghost or a chopper, a warthog might be to powerful on a map like this, and this would make a great one bomb/flag map.

[FORGING2PERFEKTION]

very, very nice layout.
i see that you got some very creative ideas.
what i really like is that you interlock almost all your objects and geo-merge some of them.
Overall very nice job 4.75/5

Yup, I tried to test it with vehicles before, everyone just gather's in them, and constantly uses them.

The bridge doesn't have much cover, but with all the outer paths, and other path's, you can get across easy, and there is alot of cover in other spot's, even if it doesn't look like it. Escaping is easy, and personally I thought of removing some of the stuff.

The looks pretty interesting.... very interesting layout I might add.... I know what you mean about the vehicles everyone wants to always use them, they work well on certain maps but some like this i'm betting it is funner if you don't have them and you have to have a firefight instead of a vehicle fight... you could add warthogs though that spawn every 3 minutes or that only spawn at the beginning and never spawn again or something like that.... Looks interesting though i'll forge though it and mabey get a game on it sometime to get back to you =P

Warthog's with a never respawning time.. That's just going to make noobs be all like OMGZ GAIS WHERE IS TEH UB3R L33T H@X04R WARTHAG?

I would like to try to put a warthog or two in, however the map is almost completley even at the moment, and warthog's driving around in it isn't something I want to throw it off with.

I remember testing this map about a week ago, it was alot of fun. The walkway's were smooth, and there was enough cover. It was played best with 1 flag CTF, and other objective games. The middle is still a bit open, but it seemed fine.. Qued for download

Indeed, one flag was probably the smoothest game type, with some rounds lasting the whole time. By the way everyone, action picture's are going up sometime today..

So you actually posted it, did you? Well, it is better than plenty of stuff on here, so good job. But the merged block still looks as crooked as when I was watching you forge (see the pic!!), and the corner wall walkways still look pretty bumpy. By the way, are those pistols I spawned still in that tube thing, or did you delete those?
