Side Longest is a symmetrical map which brings back the feeling of tried and true urban BTB. Side Longest is not a re-make, but a re-imagining of the great gameplay that maps like Sidewinder, Headlong , Lockout and Blood Gultch were loved for. The map supports every gametype you might possibly desire to play. When creating Side Longest we took into consideration every gametype and placed goal points and respawn areas so that gameplay completely changes depending on what you play.

Both teams have a base which resembles the feeling of the large open roof buildings of headlong. On the side of each base is a garage which houses a Warthog and Mongoose. Separating the bases is 'The Mountain', which forces vehicles to drive from the garage, around the base and then around the outside of the mountain to get to the opposing team's base. This reinforces the feeling of space and size that the map strives for. A long path nicknamed 'The Spine of the Mountain' resides at the base of the mountain and twists one way then another eventually bringing you through to the other side. It is only wide enough to fit one person at a time.

In the corner across from the spine entrance rests a small teleporter building that takes you to the tunnels that lead to the opposing team's side of the map. On top of the teleporter building is the elevated Hang 'em High-esque walkway which stretches over the mountain. Lastly, there are Sniper platforms on each side by the Hang 'em High walkway which overlook parts of the map.

Grab a party of 12, 14 and even 16 and prepare for a war!

Oh how I loved working on this map. You guys cannot imagine how hard it was making this map. So many details got scrapped, but it ended up great anyways.

I really enjoyed helping and testing this map. It is a one of a kind, BTB on foundry. That was unherd of untill this map. I feel that side longest will inspire many other people to make maps like this. Which will be a great thing. This took you guys forever and i enjoyed helping with what I did. By the way even though I played it many times I still like to play this map on any game type.

Titmar's name is in caps. lol.
He leaves and becomes a legend, Forge Hub is now officially essing his dee.

As for this map, it looks good. "Sidewinder, Headlong , Lockout and Blood Gultch" sound like they'd be tough to mash their qualities into one map. I'll have to download this for sure. Looking at the screenshots, the way some of the bridges are set up kind of annoys me.
