Sandbox The Ocho

[ehand88]

Map Design
The Ocho started out as just a grassy cross floating in the center of the Sky Bubble. As time passed by, some things were added and some removed. Ideas were put into place and then tweaked to perfection. A weapon layout was added and then revamped. Spawns were placed and the testing began. I took in as much feedback as I could get and honed this arena into what I think is an exciting map. The outcome is a competitive, symmetrical map with fast paced and rewarding gameplay. The finished map has eight outer sides, which is why I decided to name it The Ocho. I have put too many hours into this map, not only to make it aesthetically pleasing, but to also refine the gameplay. I believe you will find that my work is worthwhile when you give The Ocho a try.

The Ocho has been updated. Updates include:
-Rocket launcher clip reduced to 0 (it was supposed to be set up that way)
-Plasma grenades set to 20 sec respawn
-Removed magnums, moved BR from underneath base to Red/Blue corner
-All z-fighting removed from the grassy area
-cannot be escaped, fully enclosed now
-overall; more clean looking, smoother floors
-improved respawn system

Wow. This looks great! You've obviously put heaps of time into this map, and it shows!
The whole map has great aesthetics, and it's layout seems awesome for quick, entertaining gameplay. I think CTF on this would be a blast. Great job, mate. You've made an awesome map.

8/10.

P.S., Nice effects on the pictures. Good to see you took the time to do that.

This looks like a brilliant small team based map. You have my download. Good use of tactical jumps and some good across map lines of sight.

This map has finally been released! Woot!
There was a BUNCH of testing that went into all of the phases this map went through and I think it paid off wonderfully.
The layout is superb and aesthetics are top notch.
The flow works very well.
Congrats Ehand on another great map.

Well, honestly this is one of the funnest maps I've played in a long time. Although the aesthetics are one of a kind, the incredible gameplay is where it all shows on the ocho. Immediately as soon as the match starts you have grenades flying from base to base and BR fire, due to the great line of sights found on this map. If you want to grab rockets be prepared to take a lot of fire because this map has great risk versus reward too. With the new edition of the back door jump it lets the map flow better as a whole. This is especially true of CTF, Bomb, and other objective gametypes. Overall this map is one of a kind and I definitely recommend downloading it. The extensive testing really shows in this map!

Nicely forged, great aesthetics, and it looks like a great map.
Just one question: Why did you call it The Ocho?

[SilentStrike082]

Awesome map! The aesthetics are amazing and the gameplay is even better! I love the main hallway, it gets seriously EPIC there. For some reason this remeinds me of Epitaph though... but much better. Nice job, this definently deserves a major feature ***10/10***

This map looks pretty awesome, and perfect for CTF or Assault. If only the grass wasn't so messed up using forge, or this would look so damn hot. You get a download from me!

Hey you finally posted it! The final version looks awesome and it looks like you took my recomendations to fix the jumps by the bases, added the rocket and sniper, as well as hopefully moving the hill locations. I'm excited to play it again with those changes.. :-)

[AceOfSpades]

Oooh... oooh... I played this! It was very fun and nicely laid out map... especially for objective. IMO, Neutral Assault and KOTH were great and the other gametypes played very well too. Slayer and Oddball were kind of meh though. The forging is good and I really like the use of those upside-down platforms in the grassy area of the map. And I see you raised that column too... good.

Honestly, this is a great map. The many different routes provided either by tactical jumps or just normal pathways provide for a fast paced game. And the room to room action is a step away from most map designs seen today. Great job on this. Definitely could see this getting considerable attention. Submit it to ATLAS.
