Quarantine

By Paranoia UK

Arguably Quarantine should never have come to life. Normally when im forging a map I try not to think of the next one. I find it distracting and hindering from my current project. The other day I found myself struggling for ideas and inspiration for the map I was working on. After a few hours of forging and deleting I decided to call it a night and turned my pc on to try and sketchup some ideas. After a while I found myself designing a new map, I had broken my own rule but I didnt mind. Quarantine was spawned directly from my indecision.

My original plan for the map was to create another two similar in style and release them all as a map pack. I have recently decided against this as I have a much grander project in mind. I am now releasing Quarantine as a standalone map.

The map is a small - medium team doubles and FFA map built on Forge World. The map is heavily inspired from on of my all time favourites, Hang em High. It features a large chamber with two connecting hallway / spawn areas. Above this is another level which overlooks much of the main chamber. There is also a small tower on this level. The map is a mix between Gameplay and Aesthetics and plays very well on any small slayer gametype.

The map is fully enclosed with an elevated roof to keep the map feeling spacious. On the north and south walls are large windows with the same objective in mind. This is also the case with the west side of the roof. All of these windows help the map to feel large whilst also breaking up the all grey background that was present. The map has a nice placement of blocks and struts to break up lines of sight and has a few strategically placed power cores.

The two spawn rooms have color co-ordinated objects to aid call outs. The tower has a shield block elevator and the main chamber has a trench to aid players needing to defend themselves. Generally I am very happy with the build. Taking away the sketchup time the map only took me two hours to build. It has also needed minimal change from the test games played. The main feedback from test games is that DMR starts would be best and the Jet Pack is a very effective AA to equip.
