Corrosion

ok guys

first off, i would like to thank CosmicRick on providing his insight on this map.

also some backround info:

The map is named corrosion for a reason. The reason being? Because of all the testing, interlocking, geo-merging, and switch building, all just wore me down. Sort of like i was being corroded, if thats a word haha =]

Interlocked, and symmetrical layout

The map is set up for multi-flag
Each side/team has their own base and their own weapons, however there are weapons in the middle that are key to your victory. These include the previously listed: rocket launcher, bubble sheild, tripmine, and sniper.

Pictures of the two bases

BLUE BASE

-------------------------------------------------

RED BASE

MIDDLE OF MAP

As you can see, the wall corners are merged into the ground to make a smooth surface and allows you to easily access the flame grendades.

The rockets are placed in the middle hexagon shape

MIDDLE BASE

sniper is placed on top of the middle base

----------------------------------------------------------------------

MANCANNON LIFT

The ENTRANCE

The lift will send you rapidly into a teleporter, that send you flying out of the receiver node seen in this picture

The mancannons make you go at such a fast pace, you will be shot through the air and on top of the middle base.

This will provide you with a quick out if you are trying to recover your sheild.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Weapon Pads

You have probably noticed the single boxes that are merged into the ground very very far. This creates a platform that i have used to set the maulers on. It creates a very nice asthetic touch

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Switch

This switch is one that took a lot of guess and check work, to make

Here is where you trigger the switch

You simply jump up towards the warthog turret, and press RB

this flips the warthog, making a fuision coil fall down and hit anyone who is walking down the back alleyway.

Here is an overview of the back alleyway

here is where you exit into the main part of the map

THE SWITCH IS NOT POINTLESS, SO PLEASE DONT GET THAT IMPRESSION.

UNDER THE GEOMERGED WALL CORNER, THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 3 FUISION COILS. A DIRECT HIT WILL TAKE THE PLAYERS TO NO SHEILD.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just some action pictures

as you can see, the middle of the map can be quite hectic

Here is someone going through the mancannon lift, and he watches as his flagman get helplessly double teamed

-----------------------------------------------------------------

There you have it people.

i have had an absolute blast making, testing, and playing this map. So hopefully you will reward all of those painful hours of interlocking and geo merging. all you have to do is give it a quick download.

Those of you that have joined my game while this map was in the makings, know just how long i have worked on it. on and offline.

Thanks to all of you for your time, and if you have any questions, i am gonna be right here to answer them.

Thanks to the h3artificer website for being so awsome and giving me inspiration.
