New Map: ThunderDome (Video)

[Thunder]

Hey guys I just finished forging a new map. Wanted to get y'alls opinions on it but please don't be to harsh with the criticisms (MrKillBoy) because I did work hard on it! lol I don't know why the video skips a little bit at the beginning. I guess my computer was lagging?

O and watch in HD! :)

Yea man. I'll put it up in my fileshare tomorrow for everyone to download. I'm going to sleep now though lol

[mrkillboy]

Has minor flaws. Too many LOS. I would like to play on it. To give you full criticism.

[BluePriiint]

I like the map. You should check out my map. Its in my file share and its called "Flush." Its not completed but please message me about what you think. My GT is in my sig.

[SecretSchnitzel]

^ Who are you and where is bleuprint?

@Thunder: Screen shots please?

I think you have some really cool ideas, but that map looks like it still needs work. I think the cross map man cannon is cool, but maybe over powered, due to its dropping people practically behind your base. The reason why Narrows pulled it off was because it one put you at a significant disadvantage to anyone on the map, and it is right in front of their base. but its a good start.

Also Remember this Simple is better.

[MidKnight]

looks nice

[N!TRO]

Agrre what eclipse said simple is better. You havesome good ideas, I personally wouldnt have used lifts and teleports in this map. Gravlifts are little to much, kinda throws you up to high. I like the layout tho. and I do believe blocking some LOS would do this map some good justice. Good job though, I know forging is a pain but keep it up, its like anything forging takes practice. :)

haha this is great

Tbh i have never been a fan of lift. Since you can't cut the corner on them anymore (Like on Midship Halo 2) i feel they lift you too high, and makes people try to avoid lifting. I would prefer ramps over lift any day.

[Thunder]

Yea no thanks Mrkillfag. I think i'm just going to not put it up in my fileshare and avoid a 12 year old peice of shit with no manors tearing it apart after running through it for 5 seconds when I worked on it for hours. To many times have I seen this kid in the forums being a dick to people, and show zero respect and i'm tired of his little ass to be honest.

To everyone else thanks for the tips and thank you for being nice. There's a difference between constructive criticism and just being an all around asshole. MrKillVag hasn't figured that out yet. This was my first map I really gave effort at forging and i'm sure there are definitely some improvements that can be made to it to make it more competitive and flow better. I just don't know if I am going to fix anything or even release it because it pisses me off too much to have some insecure disrespectful little immature prick tear it apart and be so mean all the while hiding behind a little forum name. But i'm pretty sure that's why forums were invented... so little kids can talk shit to people without the chance of getting their ass beat.

If you can't tell I do not do good at MLG events when little kids talk crap to me across the station :) haha but honestly even there people are much more respectful.

I thought about that when it was all done. I agree with you. If I keep working on it that'll probably be the first thing I fix because they do lift you too high and I feel like in a competitve enviroment with all skilled shooters you would be taken out faster than a midget in a dunk contest. lol

I'm confused, all he said was that there were a lot of lines of sight, and needs to play it to give you more criticism about the map.

Agreed, why did you jump down his throat? So anyone who says that the map has many fundamental flaws, needs to learn object conservation, and has screen-lag is just wrong? I don't buy that.

[Thunder]

to be honest he didn't go that hard on me but it just seems like he tries to shit on me on everything I post. O and I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. lol I'll apologize for going a little unneccessarily hard in the paint lol but I do still think he could be a little nicer on the forums

I'm not 12. I never planned on "tearing" it a part. I wanted to run around on it, to see if I seen bumps, to see if there were other items you could use instead of others. I don't see how you got I was being a prick. Nor do I see why you felt the need to insult me.

All I wanted to do was help you, or give you ideas on lines of sight. I don't see anything major wrong with your map, I said I only seen minor things.

I don't understand why you got so mad. I just wanted to help.

My bad dude. Reading back on it I was for sure outta line and think i've got the wrong idea about you. I was definitley out of line to go as hard as I did on ya. Apologies

I know how difficult it was to build this(as it was your first map) so I'll give you some basics, please don't use that many lifts I feel like i'm on Chiron TL34 and the lifts are teleporters. WAY TOO MANY OF THOSE FUCKIN THINGS. but, I applaud the design as it has potential, the use of geometry is pretty good (it'll get much better as you get better) parts of it *cough cough* bottom middle **cough cough** are like zealot. Also, top middle needs complete redesigning. Just redo it and cover the pyramid to make it solid. Ok, well if your down for some good old fashioned forge followed by customs add me :) xl faybian lx thats the GT I'm always good for some customs if you want to try. Don't jump down MKB's throat though he isn't that bad a guy, just a a good critic who has seen far too many good maps.
