Sandbox Surge

oh knarly · 06-20-2009

Hi guys this is my first ever map, took me just over a week to make and I can't say I loved every minute of building it because I'm sure you all know, forge can be frustrating. However, I'm pleased with the result and I hope you will give it a try.

I hope everyone give this map a go and has some fun, which is of course why I made it. I would love to try some 4v4 team slayer on it, or at least hear about someone else who played it..

Lots of thanks to JMJ405, Mr Garfunkle and Norlinsky who played some games with me last night.

nice map, i like that you interlock some of your objects.
you got a good layout and some good ideas maybe i would add something to the top middle, cause its a little bit open.
over nice work.

Cheers for comments, I would add more to it but I ran out of items.. and I only just found out about the glitch.

Wow I like this map and from what I seen this would be a good map for matchmaking/ The only thing that bothers me is the top view. On the top view from the top and bottom of the middle structure you can see the blocks aren't even. Other than that 5/5 ^.^

Mr Garfunkle · 06-20-2009

Had fun in testing yesterday, glad to see you put it up. I hope you edited those respawn times, because they got to be a pain. The map structure is very good, and works out well in gameplay. Well done on the video Norlinsky, I had no idea you were making it. Give this map a go, it's worth it.

oh knarly · 06-20-2009

Thanks garfunkle and yeah I sorted the respawn times out and removed some equipment as that was a little too overpowering. Added ramps next to the shield doors so its easier to get back in and some more cover to the left of the bases, I had a laugh aswell.

@Sk aleks : Oh yeah, they are slightly crooked. Thanks for the spot!

@Greatjedi : I'm guessing your recommended feature is sarcasm but thanks for comment anyway.

For your first map post, good job. There are a couple places on the map which looks sloppy, although from the video i see it doesnt effect the gameplay. From what i can see you took your time on the map and it looks like you guys had fun playing it. I`ll give this map a spin.

oh knarly · 06-21-2009

Thanks, your pretty much right. Its a little edgy in places but thats due to my lack of experience with forge. My main aim was to create a good map to play on and I think I've achieved that. Thanks for the download and comment.

I've just applied to have this tested so anyone wanting to get some practise in before next sunday is welcome to play with me on it, anytime apart from monday night.

I've gotta say I'm lovin the techno-ish feel of those corner tubes with the r/b columns. I love that idea. The center piece is extravagant, And everything seems to have a well thought-out flow to it, and is this your first map? If so it is great. Blows my first out of the water hehe. I wanna play this tomorrow, definitely! 5/5
