EST 12:00 noon / November 1 - Midpoint

freezefry · 10-28-2008

Midpoint is based in the ice cave and the two main bases of Avalanche. The cave's chasm is decorated with floating platforms and mancannons, and the bases both contain the objective, such as the flag. At the start of a match, each team starts in one of the two bases. From their base, players teleport to the cave. In objective games, such as Multi Flag, the idea is to teleporter to the ice cave from your base, work your way across the ice cave, and finally teleport into the opposing team's base where one can steal the flag or arm the bomb. Midpoint creates a tug-of-war style gameplay in which players fight to control the cave so they can then push into the opposing team's base. I diagrammed the main idea below.

.BASE. teleport to .CAVE. cross chasm, teleport to .BASE.

Requirements:
- 30-45 minutes (of awesome customs!)
- 6 testers needed (3 vs 3)
- Saturday November 1 starting at noon (I can be flexible if necessary)

Hey freezefry, this is my review on your map.

Aesthetics

Everything was cleanly interlocked. The platforms looked perfect. Also the one thing i remembered to be geo-merged was excellent. Also the interlocked man-cannons gave an aesthetic touch, it was much better than a normal man-cannon. The only thing I can say is a few places where you could have interlocked more and put little aesthetic touches.

Score-4.5/5

Layout

I love the layout here. It all fits well together. Not much else to say here.

Score-5/5

Placement

The weapon placement on this map is very good. You did not place too many power weapons. I like where you placed the fuel rod cannon. It's a nice touch. I think the grenade placement is done well. The equipment is done great too.

Score-5/5

Gameplay

It was really fun. The spawns worked fine. The gametypes worked well with the map. In the flag variant I like the SMG as the starting weapon. The only problem where the man-cannons. Unless you went ins perfectly straight, you could fall of the map. It wasn't too much of a problem, except for one man-cannon where I kept dieing. It is the one at the bottom. (I believe the overshield spawns there.) It was fun overall.

Score-4.5/5

OVERALL SCORE- 4.75/5

Sorry I couldn't make it. My mom and I went to go vote and the line was massive (spent like an hour in it).

Thanks for the review scope. I appreciate it A LOT! I'll give you positive rep and a good review on the tester's guild thingy. By the way, it's okay vorporal, you were supporting our country... all's good.
