Maps of the Week #30

Submitted by Patricia on Sun, 08/07/2016 - 22:26

Hi, everyone!

This week we only have two maps, but we always want to offer you good options and we picked these ones because we enjoyed them a lot!

Winners

Title: Canyon Fort

Creator: gamerjoe716

Type: Team

The description of this map says it’s inspired on Team Fortress 2, and like some TF2 maps we’ve seen in the past, this one delivers! The design of this map might look simple, but in reality, it’s quite complex. Like the title of the map says, it’s a map that looks like a canyon, and it will make you feel like you’re in a western movie. With a lot of different spots to explore and different “platforms” from you where you can snipe others or maybe try to hide, this map promises a lot of fun.

Title: Doomed Waters :Part 2

Creator: Killertriffle

Type: Co-Op

The second part of what we hope it’s going to become a cool campaign. This map has a lot of puzzles to solve and the way it’s designed might make you lose your way a few times (it got us lost!), but that’s where the fun is. You will get a few weapons and also some enemies to kill, but we think that this is a map for someone who enjoys solving puzzles.

Enjoying any other maps? Just finished your own and want us to check it out? Leave us a comment below with the name of it and we’ll test it! And if you think that we missed any good map, let us know too!

Maps of the Week #29

Submitted by Patricia on Wed, 08/03/2016 - 13:27

Hi, everyone!

Sorry about this week’s delay! But we’re here again bringing you our featured maps of the week :)

Winners

Title: ShootScape

Creator: RGAZ

Type: Co-Op

This map is pretty much what the name indicates: shoot and escape. The story says that there’s an evil group, “Evil Corp”, planning a world invasion and it’s your (or your team’s) job to infiltrate their base and stop them. This map is a lot like a maze and it took us quite some time to finish because we kept getting lost! I guess that makes it feel like you’re infiltrating a new place, so that was good! You also get a lot of enemies and only a few weapons, which makes it challenging.

Title: The League [Team Deathmatch]

Creator: BARKLEY22

Type: Team

This map is inspired on Team Fortress 2 and you can actually get to act like a team! Like in some MOBA’s, you’ll get a “role” or job that you have to fulfill. Depending on the role you want or get, you will get different weapons that will help you with that. For example, while testing this, I chose “sniper” because that’s my usual favourite job and I got a place to snipe from and the weapons I needed. There’s something for everyone!

Title: Wolf3D: Episode 1 - Floor 1

Creator: PrimeWeekle

Type: FFA

The description says that this is a remake of Wolfenstein 3D’s first level with a few twists, and it lives up to the expectation! Just like another of our winners, if you like maps that will make you explore around and will probably get you lost, this is your kind of map! It’s kinda easy to beat, but it might take long considering the map is like a maze. We hope that this becomes a campaign with more episodes!

Title: H.M.S CONCHATUMADRE

Creator: SopapiGlobo Dios Superior

Type: FFA

Another ship-like map! Quite an interesting design for a FFA map. We’ve seen a lot more of these maps lately and we like them a lot! It gives players a place with both an arena and rooms where you can get weapons or hide if you prefer to do that. Plus there’s a sort of secret in the middle of the map and it’s quite challenging to get it.

Enjoying any other maps? Just finished your own and want us to check it out? Leave us a comment below with the name of it and we’ll test it! And if you think that we missed any good map, let us know too!

Maps of the Week #28

Submitted by Patricia on Mon, 07/25/2016 - 15:39

Hello, everyone!

Just like last week, we have a nice variety of maps this time! From really detailed and original maps to others inspired in other games. We have a map for everyone.

Winners

Title: Operation D357

Creator: Incendiary

Type: Co-Op

This is one of those maps that anyone can tell that was well planned and designed, and also well executed. The idea behind the map is that you have infiltrated into a facility to get a special weapon. This map mixes a lot of our themes, but it makes it work well. The look and feel actually makes you feel like you’re inside some kind of secret facility. It’s a big map and you have to explore a lot to get what you need. If you want a long full experience, this map is for you.

Title: Dr. Mac´s Laboratory

Creator: Mac

Type: Co-Op / FFA

This map combines a lot of our themes into this big “laboratory” with secret areas that you’ll have to discover (hint: use the teleporters). It works really well as a FFA map and even better when there is a lot of people (as I mentioned, it’s quite big, so the more the merrier). All of the areas seem to connect in the middle by an arena where you can fight everyone!

Title: Quake DM17 Remake

Creator: Sur El Celeray

Type: Co-Op / Team

As the name and the description of this map point out, this map is inspired on the Quake DM17 map. It’s made of different platforms that float in the middle of space, and you’ll have to jump around them to get weapons. In some cases, you’ll need the help of some weapons to get to a platform above you (hint: you can double jump with some weapons…). Definitely a good map to try with friends, especially if you’re a Quake fan.

Title: Pokemon Arena

Creator: Tommy3004

Type: Co-Op / Team

With the recent Pokemon Go fever, we’re happy to see that someone decided to make a Pokemon inspired map! As the one before, the map is also a series of platforms floating in mid air. There’s an arena in the middle and four other platforms surrounding it, each with the shape of a pokeball. If you want a nice Pokemon look and feel, this is your map.

Title: Jurassic Park-Final Chapter

Creator: GoldCraft11

Type: Co-Op

The last chapter of a campaign inspired on the Jurassic Park movies! This map makes a great use of our Too Rockin’ theme. It’s quite a small campaign that might not take too long, but it’s still a fun one. As expected, you’ll find a few dinosaurs to fight, and at the end of the campaign, you’ll have to confront a boss, which is a T-Rex that has escaped the park!
