I present to you...
Clockworks V3, The Finale
Click HERE to Download

I finally bring you all, the greatest map I have ever made, Clockworks. Clockworks was a map that started slow and finally took off in the beginning. Hopefully that doesnt happen to this Final Version of Clockworks. In the V3 I updated alot of new things. I fixed the bumps on the wall-to-bridge walkway, put a backing to the switchbox so its easier to destroy, changed the layout ever so slightly so it would affect gameplay slightly, and finally, I made a new V3 layout. I hope you all enjoy the new Clockworks V3.

Quotes from respectable gentleman

We played a 5-man FFA on this yesterday, and I must say that I enjoyed the map thoroughly. I completely forgot about the dumpster door, and I don't think anyone ever opened it. I meant to do a forgethrough of the map this morning so I could leave you some feedback on the spawns/gametypes, but I didn't have time. Suffice it to say that I enjoyed myself and I've got a gamevee link to the game we played.

BTW-I won't apologize for my lame playing; I make it widely known that I'm a crappy player. Plus I'm old.

I must admit the map was quite enjoyable. The shotgun as u can see in squidhands video is extremely good on the map but wasnt too overpowering the invis and OS were both placed out of the way to force the player to actually go get them instead of being on the way to something. I enjoyed the layout it was very reminesent of Cyclopean and Renegade. Overall it was a good map and a nice map to mess around with friends.

Looks sxy, nice interlocking, D/Led and now for the description. I'll come back and edit this post with a nice lil review in about an hour, if I can get a testing in. You're coming out with so many maps in one time, you must be a forge beast.
Yay, finally a decent sized review on what I thought about the map, that you would care about. Skip to the next section for nicer comments on the map.
My review on Clockworks, made by EGS Berserk. No offense meant thoughout the whole review, just pure suggestions and my opinions, which you might not find accurate. And yes, I did test the map, on FFA, Team Slayer, and CTF, which consisted of parties varying in 6 - 12 people.
Here's the things I guess you'll find most important, my suggestions and Clockworks' problems.
Problem 1: Getting outside the map was incredibly annoying. I didn't personally but the fusion coils and barrels allow for easy nade and shoot jumping to get outside the map. And from there, they're invisible, if you have some extra dumpsters maybe in those areas, mainly where the fusion coils spawn, add them.
Problem 2: There were some bouncy areas in the map where it wasn't necessary. Such as the fusion coil spot, my favorite if you've noticed. The bridge and walls are off placed and there's a little flashing part of the bridge that indicates that. Try tweaking that up a little bit if you're looking for a feature.
Problem 3: A lot of the jumps in the map were either hard or were impossible while using toggle crouch, which you cannot crouch jump with. Otherwise, there where a lot of ramps used which is good.
Problem 4: The sniper tower. This kind of disappointed me :(, I'm not sure if it was meant to be this way but it makes it kind of an used part of the map. People were going there to grab the sniper but they weren't staying up there, I wondered why. Later in the game I went for the sniper and it seemed I'd have a good view of the room. What kind of kills the sniper tower is that you can only see about 10% of the room up there, the window panels are high enough, and when put on a higher elevated platform like the sniper tower, it's incredibly hard to see places near to under it or from a moderate distance away.
Now, enough with the problems, of few of them were just my opinions, hopefully you won't get offended by any :P. I'll move on to the stuff that makes your map sound good.
Layout: Clockwork's layout is amazing and unique. It makes me feel like really no other map on FH before. Instead of cover, a base, and some morphed single boxes, you had multiple levels, tons of walls to make the map have more cover, to allow more players, and to give it a less-foundry-like feeling. I was really interested with how this map looks, it had very clean geo merging and precise interlocking.
Game Play: I suggest either FFA or Team slayer on Clockwork. It seemed to fit in the best. Mainly because I didn't really enjoy CTF on the map, it was too easy to make captures and the game just flew by on who could get flag captures the fastest. But slayer really hit the spot. This map is incredible for FFA, and team slayer involves a lot of skill, strategy, and holding positions to win. I highly suggest playing team slayer on this map, 3v3s are my favorite, but I think a 5v5 could even be supported fine. Good job on the slayer game play berserk.
What I personally liked about the map: My favorites overall were the sliding door switch. The gravity lift run time max/min switch is great to use, and I noticed you also morphed the gravity lift into the double box so people would see it. The sliding dumpster door adding in a lot of spice to the game play by taking more strategy and using team work to get to the defender's base. I really liked that, because you don't see that as much in maps nowadays.
Overall: I really liked this map apart from some of the listed problems, manly just getting out of the map, that really killed it. I'll give it a 4/5. A for sure 5/5 if it's possible for you to tweak with the map's problems. If you hit the item limit, which I didn't check if you did, then you can just ignore the suggestions on adding dumpsters, etc., but sometimes when you delete some grenades that aren't needed, you can end up completing one of those tasks. Thanks for the great map, hopefully this didn't offend you in anyway, it wasn't meant too :).

Boy, I've owed you a post on this for a very long time. I finally went to check out the map today, and was impressed; you've definitely grown forging wise from that one game I spent bothering you and Gunslinger as he built you a wall, ha ha.
The map plays decently enough and is very reminisce of Troika and Renegade, Troika-wise being the obvious bridge layout yet Renegade wise being the lack of building structures while maintaining a layout through the use of merged single and double boxes.
This being said; the map itself is very sloppy in some areas. There are a few areas I can name that look a bit second rate and more of an afterthought, but since maps aren't truly about aesthetics I can't really critique you about such things. A slight change to the layout can really open up some passages a bit, you could tidy up a few walls here or there, and this map would be astounding. Along with this, the map itself is very easily escapable - I've sent a video clip of it to you via Live, so don't worry.
In a nutshell: tidy up a few areas, make a few slight layout changes and I can see this featurable in the future. Invite me to a game sometime, I'll help you out more in depth. ;)

This map is amazing! The flow of it is fun and keeps you on your toes. The aesthetics are good but probably could be better. A few interlocking tweaks here in there and it would be outstanding. The structures of this map are neat and add epic gameplay to it. The curve with the interlocked bridge is my personal favorite. This map has a great size! Not to big but not too small at the same time. The switches were quite impressive. I have seen few maps that actually incorporate switches into them. As far as I know, it seems to be unescapable. I have not spent enough time playing it to know if it is or not. Here are my ratings:
Gameplay: 8/10
Explanation: The flow of this map amazed me. It had easy ways to get places but not too easy. Teamwork was crucial and much of the areas which made it a ton more fun.
Weapons: 6/10
Explanation: Ouch! The only part I dislike about this map. Too many power weapons and camping weapons which almost destroyed the map itself. You really do not need two shotguns or the fuel rod cannon. I kinda disliked the overshield but it wasn't because of this map. I just hate overshields in general. A few tweaks in the weapons and the weapon place ment could help a lot
Aesthetics: 7/10
Explanation: Great interlocking, geo-merging, and switches. The structures were all unique and very enjoyable you might say. Once again, there are a few little tweaks you could place here in ther when it comes to angles and "flatness" of the items. Other than that it was quite good.
Fun Factor: 8/10
Explanation: This map provided unique gameplay each time I played it. Teamwork was rather necessary. I really enjoyed playing this with my friends. I am almost positive they enjoyed it as well. The switches were fun to play around with. Although they were basic, they added some enjoyment when you were getting pwned.
Overall: 7.5/10
Final Comments: Great work on this! I am impressed and if you decide to make a v2 or something I am sure it would be feature worthy. The post was neat, organized, clean and easy to read so that was nice. The foundry designer pictures give a great layout of the map which I first used before I downloaded this map. Gameplay was amazing, aesthetics were good, weapons need work, and the fun-ness of this map was incredible. Excellent work and I expect great things from you in the future!

I hope you all enjoy my map Clockworks V3! Again, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks to all the people who helped test the map. And another thank you to Squidhands and Kidbomber on the Videos for the map. The last two versions hit almost 300 DL's so I hope this one does better. The map should have no flaws in Gameplay whatsoever not to brag because the power weapons are timed long enough so that they are balanced. As B100D F1R3 said,"Only thing missing in the map is a giant elite in the middle and an energy sword." Some things to keep in mind are the switchbox, leave a decent post like Th Kn1ght's post, and rep is appreciated because it makes it easier for me to check on this post. Until my next map, EGS BERSERK...
