Hey, long time lurker making his first post. I would like to see what you think of my Sandbox maps. My Foundry maps never seem to work out, I always hit the budget limit before my idea is complete. So without further ado, I present

Reaction

My latest foray into hectic Slayer maps, Reaction is an eight sided ring wrapped around a critical reactor, with plenty of tunnels and such to keep things interesting.

One feature I like about this map is that every player starts with the same equipment and an equal distance from all powerups. No more bitching about an unlucky starting location! Also, there are teleporters in each room that take you to another random room, which could help if your being chased... or you could just end up walking into another player and get killed anyways.

I didn't set up Flag, Bomb, KOTH, Oddball or anything, so don't even try those out.

Weapons, Main Floor
-Spiker x8
-Plasma Pistol x8
-Carbine x4
-Battle Rifle x4
-Beam Rifle x2 (90 s)
-Plasma Grenade x4
-Frag Grenade x4
-SMG x2
-Pistol x2

Weapons, Bottom Floor
-Needler x2 (45 s)
-SMG x2
-Plasma Rifle x2
-Mauler x2 (60 s, 1 clip)

Weapons, Bottom Middle
-Shotgun (60 s, 1 clip)

Urban Conflict

The goal with this map was to make an attack or defense game. Some players start in smaller buildings and make their way to a large base, which the other team tries to defend. It's a lot of fun to play, and has pretty good lines of sight. The buildings provide intense close quarter combat for those who like that kind of thing.

It works with One Bomb, One Flag, and Territories. Two Flag CTF and Two Bomb don't work.

It started out looking like a city, but now it's more like a playground or paintball arena than anything else.

Weapons
-Sniper x2 (60 s, 1 clip)
-Carbines x8
-Battle Rifle x8
-SMGS (?)
-Spikers (?)
-Maulers x2 (60 s, 1 clip)
-Shotguns x2 (60 s)
-Frag Grenades (?)
-Plasma Grenades (?)
-Regenerator x1
-Bubble Shield x2
-Rockets x1 (90 s)

Purgatory

The goal of this map was to make a CTF game that felt like an epic adventure, not just running between two bases on opposite sides of a field. Those kind of CTF games are boring as hell.

You have two bases facing eachother in the sky, but there is no way to cross. They are just far enough apart that a scoped-in BR will have a red targetting reticule. Your flag is in the center of this base.

Off to the side is a teleporter which takes you to another set of bases underground, and a serpentine path between them. I set up the walls so you can only fire upon the enemy when you're at your base, this emphasizes teamwork heavily, as you cannot afford to send your whole group off to grab the flag. Once you get to the enemy base, grab their flag and go all the way back again!

I could go into HUGE detail explaining this but this is like the third time posting, for some reason I keep getting logged out and having to retype this.

Weapons:

Sky Bubble:
-Carbines x 4
