The Overhang

(By suicidalpenguLn)

So this is my first map post on forge hub, and I named it The Overhang because of the large structure hanging over the center of the map. It is a symmetrical map built on the center level of sandbox, and is rather large. I would suggest playing with 6+ players. The really unique feature of this map is that I ghost merged almost every piece of this map into the ground at a 60 or 30 degree angle. Another feature of this is that it is really based around the wraith, my original idea was to make a big X and put in wraiths, but the wraiths ended up having no place to go, so I changed it into a sort of 8 and k combined (O.o). Another thing I added is a hand coming out of the sand, which I first saw in the map Vindication (author’s name needed).

So as far as vehicles and weapons this map features:
2 Ghosts- 60 second respawn ( not at start )
2 wraiths- 90 second respawn ( symmetrical only)
1 banshee- 120 second respawn ( not at start)

4 brs- 30 second respawn
2 carbines- 30 second respawn
2 snipers- 90 second respawn ( not at start)
1 sword- 90 second respawn ( not at start)
1 SPLAZER- 90 second respawn (symmetrical only)
1 beam rifle- 60 second respawn (asymmetrical only)
1 missile pod- 120 second respawn ( not at start)
4 spikers- 60 second respawn
2 smgs- 60 second respawn
2 plasma rifles- 60 second respawn

2 power drains- 45 second respawn
1 regenerator- 60 second respawn ( not at start)
2 plasma grenades- 10 second respawn
10 spike grenades- 10 second respawn
4 grenades- 10 second respawn
2 bubble shields- 60 second respawn
1 over shield- 90 second respawn

The reason that so many are not at start is to make it so games aren’t to hectic at the start, but become increasingly hectic as the game goes on, instead of a mad rush at the start and it fizzling out as the power weapons run out of ammo. Also I chose a lot of spike grenades because they make for some very awesome kills when stuck to a 60-degree surface.

Now without further a-do on to the pictures
This is an Overview of the map

This is the section right under the overhang

And this is under the picture above

And here is the overhang from the backside

And here is a view of one of the bases with me doing a sicknasty jump

And here is the other base

and here is the overview again with dots where power weapons are,
blue = sword
red= missile pod
orange= splazer (s) and beam rifle (a)
black= snipers

now on to some action shots :D

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM HEAAADSHOOOOT* this is what happens to anyone who thinks they can camp on the top level (almost every time)

so the little spiky things at the end aren’t just for aesthetics, they make a great platform to ambush the bases, and perhaps get a nice assassination :o

so that is it for pictures

this map plays
Slayer
Territories
Flag
One-flag
Assault
One-bomb
VIP (not that well)
KOTH (not that well)
And even though it is competitive it plays an AMAZING game of 50% gravity zombies.

I definitely want CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, but please don’t comment on the game play unless you’ve tried it, I realize there are a lot of vehicles and power weapons, but in the tests it was very balanced and very fun, or my testers lie to me L.

On the map I would like to thank:
