Blurb A ffa map that's good if your favorite gameplay is running and shooting a lot.

Detailed description

.ZIP File should actually work now :)
I'll consider some more cover in the middle, but I honestly don't think I'll get it done that quickly.

Gyro2
A remake of an early map I did that looked similar. This increased the size and added more underneath the map. The idea to launch along the legs up to the top platform was borrowed from an early version of Suicizer’s Evilness.

Well, I haven't really worked on anything in a while, but here's a map that I never got around to posting. You might see it and say "you shouldn't have bothered". But it's a fun map for screwing around, it was never intended to be super-competitive.

I originally was thinking of doing a "rejects map pack" to get out and done with the various maps I have that are finished, but not that great. But this is the only map I feel deserves to be posted of them. (though another map that was Way Too Big I might turn into a race map eventually. Anyway...)

It's nothing too complicated. Enjoy.

It might not be for competitive play, but why should you care? There are other maps for that. This map has other beauties.

It's nice to see that the concept of that way of play with a jumppad that launches you to a platform in more than just straight forward. It has been kept more simple than my attempt (which made it buggy). One small problem; I can't verify if this actually happens as the zip-file is damaged or not containing anything at all (as it states so and is being showed as containing 0 bytes). So please fix this?

Yeah, I like maps that do cool things with jumppads, but it's easy for them to dominate the map when you start design with them in mind.

I fixed the file now, hopefully the map lives up to the (admittedly quite low) expectations I set for it.

File has an unknown format or is damaged. :(

Going by the screenshot:
I like the general concept, big ring around a pillar, but the middle area seems empty and too much of a vulnerable zone. I'd suggest some boxes, large dirt piles/rocks, something in the middle for some more cover. 7/10 for now.

Regarding this map, all I can say for the future is this: try not to pack the quad and the yellow armor this close. The quad alone is a beast of a pickup on it's own, but the open terrain and the defense boost from the YA have the ability to turn it into an instant win. I know, you said this isn't really competitive. All I say is this: when you go competitive, make sure to spread out those offense resources (explosive weapons, quads) and defensive resources (armor, health(boost)) a little more.
With this combination of offense, defense and yellow you are basically going super saiyan when you reach the top of the map :P

Otherwise.... yeah, a little open, but overall actually quite nice. Keep going!
