map:Ramparts
author:Bl00D F1R3
Reviewed by:DRiSCOLL

Enjoyment: 8/10
The overall flow is pretty good and creates an atsmophere, its great fun and ive found it usefull for big party games, its big and includes allot of cover which is placed nicely may I add, its fast gameplay is very satisfactory and makes it what it is.

Balance: 8/10
sadly i havn't played it long enough to know all the weapon placement but when we were playing their didnt seem to be any advantage, high ground and low ground is pretty even. its big and most game types work very well, the fusion coils come in handy and saved my life a thew times.

Durability: 9.5/10
The spawn placement is very good and i don't think its possible to "spawn camp",and loseing grenades is impossible thanks to the amazing barrier blocking off the map, even that seems neat and ive got cought staring at it a cuple of times, so i can say proudly that this is a solid map,.

Aesthetics: 9/10
The map itself looks very nice the walls and cover are all well interlocked and the fence.I applaud blood fir3 for yousing teleporters because it looks nicely placed, the whole map looks detailed, i love how you placed barrels and barriers in the geomerged fence box because like i said earlier it adds detail.

Originality: 8/10
most map consist of two bases and a center structure but i like how its mixed up, everything seems new and easy on the eyes, all types of combat consist thanks to the layout, you don't feel as if you were in foundry because of the big and small detail that just spells out creativity

Overall score (Average of the above): 9.5/10
Overall this was a very enjoyable map and decently balanced, it looks very neat and includes allot of features, Theres not really anything that i would change, the layout works well and its made well. Allot of people love it and i can see why, it deserves the feature

edit: im pretty busy at the moment but ill try hard to make a review, you can still use the one above

Count me in :) i was thinking of creating my own review group but i thought screw it, the review hub is so much better; and for my review map as a part of the team:ramparts

im pretty active so ill try my hardest to review as many as i can

Ok for the most part you did a thourough review, but, maybe needs to be a little more in depth. There are a few things I'm going to point out. Don't judge too easily.

Now, Ramparts is a good map. But, you gave it a 9.5 for durability. I know for a fact that spawns in some areas can be questionable. And if you used version 1 then you should know it is possible to get out of. Maybe like an 8.5 or 9 for durability, because I have played Ramparts many times and it does not score that high. The only other thing I can point out is your rating for originality. The center structure of Ramparts is actually the same as the one from Eviscerate. So, if you add that to the mix it would probably score about a 7.5. Just remeber that 7 or a 7.5 is still good, better than the average map. I read your entire review though and know it to be true, mostly. I also thank you for bringing proof or your dedication of your work and showing to the Review Hub, instead of just asking to join.

Overall good read for a review, hopefully you will be one of our newer members that helps G043R and I jumpstart the Review Hub again.

Forgive me, but I am going to have to leave The Review Hub. I don't want to let my name be one of the many who just sit on the "List of Reviewers" and don't do anything. I don't have time to do reviews. If I did, I would definitely help. Not only that, but DRiSCOLL's review was the first in weeks, and he's merely trying to join.

BTW, Yellow...The time you spent going over his review, you could have done your own. Leave the validating to G043R & Matty. Just thought I would point that out.

On a final note, if there are any new members in the future, know that I will be greatly disappointed if you even try to get away with reviewing a map solely on pictures, and not by giving it a playtest, or even 3 playtests.

Almost two weeks ago. So, not yet... "recent weeks". Lol, still got you there.

Tex · 08-10-2008

Way to detract from my point...

You did a review almost 2 weeks ago...When was the last one prior to that? I don't even think there is an official answer for that it's so far back. BTW, stop arguing over nothing.

Who's arguing? Lol, stop trying to make me seem like I'm arguing. Before that though... Umm..... maybe..... like.... two months?

EDIT: I went back and I think it may have been far longer than that. I really don't know, but, we may have more inactive members than I thought. I know Vicious is still fresh, and Roche, as well as, I think Halo.

How was I not informed about this move?
I thought the Review Hub was gone...

Well, I don't really remember how the map I was supposed to review ages ago was, so I'm calling for a review date. Sounds exciting, don't it?

How about Wednesday, 9 p.m. EST ?
Open for suggestions, so let me know what time's good for you, and if your willing to participate.

Members up for this date:

Six would be a good number, seeing as though we might not have enough for 8, which would be the ideal number imo.
