Map Preview Greek

Youtuber · 10-13-2009

Obviously, thats not going to be the map name, but I just wanted it to be something along those lines, Athens maybe?

Anyway, I started this awhile back, coming up with the criss cross design like you will see, sitting in my physics class, bored out of my mind. As I started making my map, I had many pointers from many different people, all making it better. So far, Ive put down a few weapons, and a few objective spawns and respawns/starting points, but Ive still got a ways to go.

So go ahead and take a look....brewski.

A pic of red side, I tried to take different pics of both sides, so you wouldn't just see an exact replica.

Blue Side.

So anyway, leave a comment if you'd like, tell me something you like, something you find stupid. I know its just a preview, but whatever...

I like it, maybe in the corner places there could be pillars underneath all the edges, instead of just one side.

From what I see here, it looks like you did a good job of making uncampable bases and dividing lines of sight. From the bird's eye shots, it looks like it would play well and the gameplay would be smooth. However, it looks like it could do with a touch more in the way of aesthetics.

The base design looks very nice. Are they close to each other? Or how do the players get in gunfights? I can't see any way to go from base to base except for maybe the one receiving node on the blue side? Can't really tell what that goes to. I just got done studying the Greek, Roman, Persian, etc. empires in school so I could probably help you come up with a name.

EDIT: Wowwww that's the same picture just a different view, isn't it? Wow, the way you worded that made it seem like they were 2 different bases, at least to me. I feel dumb.

im assuming the teleporter is there to get you from the sandbox spawn straight to your map in the skybox without having to fly to bungies preset teleporter?

I think you'll need to merge all the ramp larges. In most of my maps they've tended to be bad news when it comes to grenades. It also looks a little open. I cant really see but i can imagine the best of spawn killing when sat on the top of the walk way in the centre.. it looks like it can see both halves of the map easily..

I'm about to run out of budget, but I think I might be able to add a few extra things to the bases, maybe like you said, adding some columns.

Eh, the pictures don't really do a good job of showing the aesthetics in the map, but I agree, maybe an aqudecut snaking around would look cool.

Yeah, I guessed I worded that kinda wierd. In the very middle you can see me, I did that so you can see the actual size of the map compared to, well, me. Its a pretty large map, and obtw, the teleporter and the box it is sitting on is just for me to get up there in Forge games.

Dude, did you do anything with the lifts, or did you leave them the way they were?

What happened to the name Athens?
I still think Ioklos is a cool name.

I've walked around i a few times, and without playing it, im worried that the top is too powerful. Youtuber once you finish it (spawns and crap) we need to get a 4v4 on it.

I like the looks of this one. You may have said this already, but this map is symmetrical, right? Anywayz I think Athenia would be a good name option as well.

I think that this would make an epic FFA snipes, or oddball map or something of the like. Map looks too long range, maybe add a large building or something. Also, some wooden bridges would good good aesthetically
