INTRODUCTION:

OHAI gaiz, GoodWhaleSushi here, presenting thou with his first map ever posted (Except for that Mountainous one bit it was incomplete, therefore it failed). FIRST OFF: Why Crocket Launcher? Well, as Turbo Gerbil and Caboose (COMMANDERMATT1) already know, the Rocket Launcher on the map is mounted on a weapon holder and looks a bit like a dick. Commandermatt likes to crouch on top of it and pretend it's his cock, therefore: Crocket Launcher. Har har har.

OVERVIEW:

The Überest merge of all: The crane. I merged a single box into the crane for this one. Also, if you shoot the fusion coils by the sniper rifle, the Sniper Rifle can fly to one of two places. Next to Mauler 2 or in front of the Firebomb. Strategical.

Contains Firebomb. Overshield hidden in background.

BASE ONE:

Contains BR and a turret for extra defense in symmetrical games.

BASE TWO:

Hidden: Sentinal Beam and kinda the Beam Rifle. Contains Active Camo and Wire Spool Jump™ (See last 3 pics).

Contains Shotgun, Plasma Pistol and Power Drain.

MAULER ONE AREA WITH FLAMING SPARTAN:

ÜberMerge, with Bubble Shield and Mauler 1.

SPECIAL JUMP:

PRAISE:
Please note that none of the important people have played on this yet, therefore it won't get all the amazing comments that other maps might.

Yeah i'll do that. INV me sometime (GT=Murdock Sampson)... this truly is one of the best competitve maps i've seen in a while. there are a lot of uber merges, the weapon set doesn't seem unbalanced, and there are a lot of original ideas. I (and a lot of other people) could learn a lot from this map and its techniques, and i hope the map i'm releasing in a few weeks can match up.

this map looks very cool i like the look and feel of it. it seems like you took a lot of time making this map. very cool i like the special jump idea. it makes the gmae really hectic if your trying to do that during combat.

Wow GWS you finally got around to posting this you lazy bastard.=)
But this map is extremely fun no joke.The map uses all sorts of advanced forge techniques that makes it play and feel much better.When you play this map it doesn;t feel like foundry at all.Its so hard to accomplish that feel now a days.I love how you posted this as more casual calling that uber merge uber merge.I will be + repping you for a great map and a great post that must've taken you a while.Allz I can say is just keep making them and can't wait till next time =).

I thought it looked familiar. I can remember playing this weeks ago.
Its very nice. Nothing really new, but what was used, was used great, if you get me.
I found it to have very diverse gameplay, I'd be surprised from multiple points.
Firebomb sun was very cool.
This is a very nice map. Forgewise, nothing new and amazing but it had solid creation. except for the uber merging, taht was uber, lol. and Gameplaywise it was very good.

Very nice interlocking, top notch merging. And, of course you added a firebomb. Sir, you win a 10 epic points.

Ok I've played it (not a large party, but oh well.) and it's great but the only thing I don't like is the the exposure everyone gets and the exposure you get once you pickup that sniper on the tower. In large-er parties everyone would see you and shoot the fusion coils to get you.
One thing I LOVED about this map: The teleporter/grav lift thing near the A/B signs is tehsex because if you chuck a plasma at the double box near the end of it, it acts like a trap because the plasma keeps going up and down...thus when someone goes in it, they get stuck.
4.5/5
=)
(Also very very advanced techniques in this, adding another .5)
Nothing is perfect, but a 5/5.

This map looks pretty cool, although i have to admit that i did not click on it because of the name. I think you could've been more creative in that department.
The structures are very different, and they are well done, although some feel a little random to me. The mauler spawn looks amazing though. I always love curved walls and hallways. I also like Base Two. Its very cool and well thought out it seems.
Overall a solid effort, but nothing really screams to me that this is your best work. Keep up the good work and you'll wow us soon enough.

Omg, you posted this. I kept dieing to much though when we played =[ ill steal your souls. But the map is pretty fun as much as it confused me lol. I think this is one of the more fun competitive maps i have seen in a while. 5/5 for GWS.

Thar. Any questions? Elaboration needed anywhere?
Comments? Post. Please!
