Default The Ire Of Fire


The Ire of Fire
Created by Felipe dos
and Debo37



Gametypes Supported:
Free-For-All slayer
Team Slayer
One Flag
One Bomb
Territories
Evenball
Juggernaut

Recommended Players:
4 - 12

The Ire of Fire is an aesthetic map at heart, seeing as its main feature is an enormous dragon that looms over the open area of foundry. Despite this major aesthetic creation, The Ire of Fire is amazingly playable and excels at one-sided gametypes, despite being set-up for all default gametypes, as well as the custom Evenball gametype.

The body of the dragon is entirely explorable - you are able to climb up through either its hand, or enter at its neck and make your way up (via a grav-lift) to the mouth of the beast. This is the location for the Score/Capture point in most one-sided games, and also acts as a great vantage point in slayer games.
Opposite the dragon is a large wall that acts as the dividing line between the attackers and the defenders bases. On one side is the dragon. On the other side, in the back area of foundry, is a pair of small bases that contain attacker spawns and also some basic weapon spawns.

This map is quite an amazing piece of forge. Creating a map that is primarily aesthetic but still entirely playable is an unbelievably tough undertaking, and to have succeeded like the Ire of Fire has done is a great achievement for Felipe dos and Debo37.

Cool! This got featured! I figured it would've some time. The dragon is a beastly aesthetic (best dragon I've seen made), and Felipe and Debo did a really awesome job with it. Good job you two. :D ~And it's actually a comp. map which makes it x10 more cooler. :D

(This is also funny, because I was just thinking if I would ever get first post on a featured map while the forgehub page was loading lawlz, but yeah, like I said cool map)

I'm glad to see another aesthetic map being featured, but I remember looking around this alot in the past and agreeing that it would indeed work very well for competitive or casual games.

The larger of the two hands really grabbed me *Groucho Marx eyebrows*, and the time and effort thats gone into making this map look fantastic is clear. But what really surprised me was how easy it is to move around, something that isn't that common in aesthetic maps and helps to increase this maps playability alot. The effort put into the rest of the map is also highly beneficial, and its far from a single focal peice without any other geometry to back it up. You may stand in awe and look at the beast, but you'll likely be playing an actual game on this and so you might wana take a glance at the other players from time to time.

Congrats to both of you, and special congratulations to Debo on gaining Premium, both are well deserved.

Best playable aesthetic map since End of the Line. That's some damn good company, my friend. Well done. This is truly a work of forge art. Most can only dream about half of the creativity and technical skills you've implemented on Ire of Fire. Great job, Felipe Dos!

had you actually read the post, rather than just mindlessly scanning a pic or two, youd notice the link to the original thread...which has more pictures and words than you could ever dream of.

i saw this map a long long time ago and thought of it as merely an aesthetic map until i read the post. and it looked really good. i'm glad this got featured. but i agree about the wall. it does need some cleanin up
