shockwave (name undecided)

[hpkomic]

Tested it today.

Pros: Interesting architecture, and the use of the bottomless pit is pretty nice.

Cons: Layout feels a bit too claustrophobic to me.

It was fairly fun during the gameday, even though i'm not a big fan of arena. The explosion was good, and i like the middle point, but as hpkomic said, i thought it was a little bit small

Make some underground section with windows in the cliff, so people actually see the lift.

I'm going to be away for the next week (army stuff) so here are some progress shots before I go:

(the smoke will be removed)

Woah that looks sweeeeeeeet!

Not much major feedback. I was a little annoyed that you couldn't hop up here (the roof):

It looks entirely accessible.

The exits from the spawn back and to the left seem unnatural and somewhere between unusable and unused. Since nobody goes backward from spawn if they don't see why they have to, then nobody ever will, so you might as well remove that path. I also noticed a couple of small healthpacks lying around that just seem out of place in Arena.

Remember to make glass floor under the cap point so you can see the elevator and the explosion!

Really love the look of this map, I've added it to my servers rotation and can't wait to see how it plays

 

[Gerbil]

Thanks! I hope it plays well. How many slots does your server have?

 

[McNuggetFiend]

It is a 16 slot no crit server that uses some loose class restrictions.

 

[Gerbil]

Then I think it'll work perfectly

Hope it's fun. Thanks for adding it!

 

[Gerbil]

Updated to B1. Slightly rushed I guess, but I hope it turned out good anyway.

 

[Gerbil]

Hey guys, remember when I said I'm going to re-theme shockwave?

Yeah.

 

[Little Giant]

ooh, I do.

Looks very nice so far ;o

 

[thaCURSEDpie]

Aaah, so this is the map I played.

Love it . The layout is awesome and makes for some cool short-lasting rounds. Only thing is that I didn't notice the elevator when I played this map (the explosion, too, was a little vague).

 

[Gerbil]

Ah yes, in the rethemed version there will be gaps in the floor near the point so you can see the explosion from the safety of the middle building.
