dm_killsphere

[singe]

So after all the concentration and frustration of working on my WTC map for like a month I needed to relax so I put together a killbox tribute, the killsphere. I made it a bit bigger than necessary (oops), but it's decent with enough people. The only reason this is not completely 'done' is that I got to finally playtest it last night with others and it really needs some more weapons (and playtesting).

i was expecting very very very little from the name, but at least you ran vvis and vrad.

i can imagine it being fun with regards to all the physics ents pooling at the bottom of the sphere, but seriosuly, go make a realistic looking map.

not to sound mean.

i like that blue glow up the top. but really, theres just no cover. no places to hide from ppl with magnums.

The idea could be a decent one. If gravity was turned down and some imaginative platforms and prop placement. And if some good looking architecture was added this could make a fun enjoy able map.

How ever. its ugly. sparse unimaginative. looks highly boring and really stupidly laid out. And calling it killsphere will not do you any favours. Take the basic premis and start again would be my advice. But put some planning and thought into it.

spartans a little shit, who cares what he has to say. he's negative about the best looking maps

[snufflez]

...Spartan has stopped ranking maps alot if u didnt notice. and he doesnt always make rude and cruel comments about 'the best of our maps'. Although it may not seem it, he is very informative about his dislikes of a map. whatever they may be. Just because of what he started, you seem to think *OHHH if spartan votes my map hes just gunna flame it* on something like this you cant blame him.

You need to restart....

Maybe making it a staduim with like a gigantic sphere lol but remake it...

I recomend making the ouside a indoor, future like, staduim. It would make more sense.

actually its just fun watching spartan hack at bad maps. this is a bad map as is. im not saying anything about you singe, im just saying that this map is not good, can easily be made better.
spartan flaming is an interlopers spectator sport.

I dunno.

I like the way the dude has gone for somthing different. Good on him i say. It dsnt look like much atm, but its his first try.

I say keep the design and just add and add and add to t. Get it looking really good. And peeps will love it because its somthing diffrent. Good job.

I still think this map would be appriciated more if it was just more in place...

Like if you ever played FFX it could be an indoor stadium like the bigining of that game....

Just a thought but i think it would be pretty awsome of the outsides had some ligting effects and some realistic look!

I have taken your criticisms and comments to heart, they have been very helpful. I shrunk the size down and totally redid the hull so it's nice a subdivided and uses pretty blend textures. Everything's closer together now so you can actually find people. There's indicator lights on all platforms so you can tell when they're occupied. I put in a couple combine ball generators which are fun to use, and of course added SLAMs like all mappers are doing right now. There's some breakable walkways in place and even an airboat (which isn't showing up on the dedicated server >_<) with a headlight that's red or blue in teamdm so people can see which team is driving it.

So guys, does this screenshot look any better?
