Looks pretty good. I'll try it out

[RTNSwisH]

looks good but i think just from looking at the pictures that it might be a little bit standoffish in the bases

sorta the point, i didn't want another "fast paced" forge map where they're aren't really any setups.

[my pet dinosaur]

looks creative, ill dl

[schnykeees]

I haven't downloaded it yet, but judging from the screenshots it looks to prove like it could play well in a 4v4. The problems with all these crypt maps is that they are too open. The way you've structure your map keeps it closed, but still open.

You have to have a perfect blend of being able to shoot across map but easily take cover. A good example of this is Onslaught. I'm not saying this is a Ons-esque map by any means, I'm just saying it looks like it has that same type of blend. Not too open, not too closed off.

If I take a look around once I get home.

[Terribad_Randy]

Looks really cool. DL'd.

[Mephisto]

i hate fast paste maps

[SiTH_iz_STR8]

I like it, looks good for setups not as fast paced I'll give it a download try it out and let you know what i think

[Gid]

Its fast paced, not "paste." Just tryin to help you look less retarded.

well then im really excited to see how this works, unfortunately no one plays non circuit maps on my friends list.

[Mech-Warrior-21]

It looks like a great map. I'll download it & try to run games on it.

[WheezyMoney]

looks pretty cool. ill give it a download

[Akti0n]

same, thats why im posting them up here cause i dont even know if my maps actually play good. lol

[Akti0n]

bump

[Jackass_Jon]

This looks good, I'll try to d/l it. Can you PM me your gamertag? (Or post it) I can't access my e-mail so I have to send private chats. =(

link to my fileshare is at the bottom of the first post

[Akti0n]

updated version in fileshare, please redownload if you liked the first version.

things changed: both carbine sides are totally redone, and jump up add in front carbine.

[my pet dinosaur]

imo the opposing sides should be different, ala midship or lockdown.

[Akti0n]

updated again, lol.

What are we using glue or something, or using ctrl v?
Its fast paced...not professional, but anyway, nice map, I like It but I do like a Wicked "Fast Paste" (lol) map, I can't stand slow, spawn kill, maps, I think the best maps are the most wide open ones, with no "spawn kill" spawns.

yea yea good job, you can correct a spelling error from a post that was made at 8am with no sleep. :roll:

[Sware]

i think this is the better of the 2 maps u have in your sig, but they are both great maps.

[Jackass_Jon]

What map is the fastest on the circuit?
- Onslaught
What map has the most spawn killing?
- Onslaught

Not a coincident. More structured maps, that are not wide open, have less spawn killing.

Edit: Ran around it yesterday. I gotta say structure wise I love the four tower corners. The bases need a lot of work. They are congested, barely multi-tiered (Those jump things are ehh) The middle, is a great LoS blocker, but is awkward shaped, and the tunnel in the middle led to a cluster of random melee fights when I ran a 3 person ffa.

One thing you need to try and do is build flow or transition through the map. You don't want dead space to be the transition all the time. Right now, you basically have a series of seperated buildings.

hmm, ill have to work on this, but i dont want it to get too closed at the same time. Hopefully i can think of something, oh and for the middle im prolly gonna make a lil room down there or something. Thank you for the feedback.

[Crouched]

hey this is random but i really need to know how to post pics in a thread like his above. PLEASE. THANKS!

[Akti0n]

ch ch che check it out

[Jackass_Jon]

You wanna try and work on connecting the strucutures more. Its not so much about making the bases open, they are linear, with no real "feel" to them. (If that makes sense lawl)

There are spots that should be open along with spots that should require positioning. Onslaught is not a map people should judge their's by. Onslaught is based off Midship, and is not a good remake. Why base your map off an already watered down version of a great map?

Edit: For your middle structure, you basically have your middle tunnel like this.

What you may want to do just to give someone some options there is re-structure it like this.

yea i actually thought about doing that too, im currently in the process of reworking the bases and its coming along very nicely, with the whole flow of the map and making structures connected instead of just having 4 separate bases. Thanks for the feedback

[Kave]

gonna dl and run around on it

[Lowkuz]

from the pics, its looks clean and easy to run. keep it up!

thanks, and i havent had the time to put up new pics of the changes i made. these changes really make this map a good map, before some ppl liked it now i think everyone will like it alot more then they did.

[liev]

could you upload a few more pictures please? at the moment I get kind of a dull feel from those pics ;(

<3 Leoves

[Akti0n]

first post had been updated, v4 is out and all new screenshots are up.

tell me what you think.

[Akti0n]

look at this ppl, its gotten ALOT better.

[lmmune]

I tried this map myself in 4v4's and it was similar to a Pit game. It works really well for pit CTF and slayer type games. I would prefer this over Onslaught or Amplified any day.

Great map Aktion
