After hearing about ForgeHub, I knew I would feel right at home. Being a fan of designing maps myself, my buddy and I have started creating a series of maps that fit along with game variants that we designed. After spending about one hour deleting all of the weapons, grenades, and scenary on The Pit, I was quite happy to see that for future designs I will be able to use one of the canvas' offered (Thanks Unh4nd13d!).
But besides the point the first feature map that we have finalized after testing several times is on The Pit and known as Resilience. When making Resilience, my buddy and I didn't want to just change all the weapons on the map and design it based on the gametype being Team Slayer or Slayer. Instead we decided to design the map based on CTF standards. Resilience is designed for 6-8 player teams (balanced) and is formulated for players to utilize the map completely. The room where the sword usually is placed we designed to be a "taking point" or "capture objective" to be taken. In other words, if a team controls this area of the map, the opposing team is forced to use the back hallway of the map where the rocket launcher is usually placed. The flag placement was a hard decision to make but after debating the possibilities of its location, my buddy and I decided on putting each teams flag in the second story rooms that contain the "snipers dream" sets of windows. As for players on offense, we've made two possible entrys into the opposing bases, and possible a third if players get creative.
But before I say too much I'd rather have you play it then let you listen to me talk about it. I encourage you to try it out. As for our next map to be released to the public, well, the only details that my buddy has told me to release include the map type which is Team Slayer. I am also allowed to repeat this phrase that we thought would be a good tease for the community. "Ever thought about playing paintball inside your house?" In this sense we mean the map will be much like a house, and mainly indoor. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback about Resilience. And don't forget to download both the map and the game variant. But more importantly, thanks for listening!

P.S. Email me any time for questions, comments, or ideas and I'll be sure to get back to you. We're up for ideas! Give us a challenge!
