Combustion Version 1.3 [FINAL version]This backyard explosives and incendiary facility was built by a gang of Meth' addicts. Max 4 players, Ball, Slayer, CTF. V1.3

Foreword –PLZ RED- :As pathetic and lame as it sounds, Forging has been a pretty important part of my life at home since before the time of Foundry. I believe Combustion is my 8th published map, and for now, I think it’ll be my last. The creative process of Forging has been a lot of fun for me, thoughtfully designing and crafting, patiently building and tweaking, and then proudly publishing and displaying.

But all good things come to an end. This shan’t be my last map, especially not if the highly speculated-upon ‘Sandbox’ is anything like people hopelessly wish for it to be, but it will be the last one that most of you see. After this is dead and buried (after I’ve replied to a couple comments with empty promises of closing that escape route you were so excited to find) I’ll keep designing and crafting, building and tweaking, but I don’t think publishing is really necessary any more.

So yeah, the end of an era? Not really, I’ll still answer questions and happily give feedback, and I’ll still spend hours on the creations that in future I shall so selfishly keep to myself and my Friends List. I just don’t feel the need for big download counts and 5 star ratings any more. So thank-you, to anyone that ever downloaded one of my maps, or capitalized my alias and preceded it with an over-the-top compliment, or File Shared a video of themselves rolling Fusion Coils down to a low wall and suiciding over it during attempts to escape (you know who you are!) Forging has been fun, but this speech has been corny, and ends here.

Oh geez, and I promised myself I wouldn’t cry…

Introduction:So I’m thinking, “Combustion! That’s a cool name for a map!” then I think, “It would have to have Firebombs and a Flamethrower!” and then, “And be asymmetric, because it’s more fun!” And then I said aloud, “Let there be Combustion…!”

… And nothing happened, so I sat down and got to work.

I hadn’t intended for this to be my last map when I began it, or I would have made it more epic, but ‘Hey Hey What Can I Do?’ It is kind of fitting, being a classic Weremidget-styled map. It’s enclosed, it has glitchy spawns, and it’s so much fun for casual 2v2s or small FFAs.

Before you go to reply, if you do actually read this, please – I don’t want to hear if you’ve found an escape route, or if you think Firebombs and Flamethrowers suck and are gimmicky. And I’m not doing an MLG version because that would be silly. Thank-you, come again!

Description: There are two base-ish areas and two neutral areas which lean slightly in one side’s favour. The middle section features a merged open box for Halo-style Drunken Boxing, a flat Fence Wall platform and an Active Camo.

The from the bridge skirting the middle a tunnel links to the Defender side, which connects on the other side via stairs and a merged bridge to the middle and adjoining lower neutral section. This section is pretty boring, a corner structure that took ages to merge and a fancy Fence Box roof. The opposite neutral section is at 1-Box height and features a fun wee Sign/Fence Wall barrier which people tend to dance back and forth around in little skirmishes, and also houses the Sniper Rifle. A couple teles used to link the two Neutral sections but they virtually halved the size of the map and that wasn’t cool.

The other base links up around a corner down a hill at the other end of the middle section and has some neat little ideas that I kinda like. ‘Kawa-i!’ the Japanese would probably call them, because they call everything ‘Kawa-i!’…

Wow that’s a lot of screenshots. Personal record much? I’m like Phelps but normal-looking (massive props to the guy, tbh). So, one last thanks. Thanks for reading this far and being a fan or whatever name you give to someone that appreciates someone else on the internet of all places. It’s been good.

Thank-you, and may the Forge forever be with you.
