After downloading and having a play, it would be greatly appreciated if you thumbs'd up the tags, or even added your own! :D Its what the system is there for!

Hey, first reach map here, been in progress for about 8 days. It was finished within the first 4, but I kept playing custom games, realising very small flaws, e.g. A slight nudge of a rock... All to make sure it plays to the best of its ability :) But now, after my 20th edit or something like that, I think i've achieved a map i'm proud of, I present to you; Caveside.

The Map.
The map itself is situated in the small cave area on forge world. To start with, I built a rock shelf, put flat ground at the back with some aesthetic barrier at the back, and put rocks at the bottom, separated by Colosseum walls, just to make sure it fit into the map from a distance. (I was that particular about it, I had to change the tidal barrier about 5 times).

From there, I started putting the map structure in, piece by piece. I don't like using the pre-built structures, so the one I did put in, I edited a bit, just putting a window here and there. SO, production diary aside, i'll just give you a bit of a briefing. There's a few DMRs, a sniper, a ||Noob Tube // Pro Pipe // Grenade Launcher, whatever you wanna call it||, a shotgun, and a plasma launcher. They are all fairly balanced, we've done lots of testing, and there was no complaining from anyone, not even my little brother (which is VERY rare).

Alright, so, the main testing game had about 10 or 11 people on it, it. Was. Hectic. Too much going on, the best game we had was a 6 player one, nice, balanced, fun. Just letting you all know. OH YEAH, 2-5 Player is also good :P

The map supports FREE FOR ALL gametypes, no teams, sorry, it was incompatible. The games it does work with are as follows: Slayer, Oddball, Crazy King, Juggernaut and Headhunter. And they all work well :) BUT, description aside (only the good people on here will read it all, or at least some of it) here are the pictures! :D

Also, the music makes it sound epic... you have to judge whether it is or not for yourself :)

One last point to make: All kill boundaries will kill you. All soft kill boundaries will kill you within 10 seconds. Going outside of the safe boundaries will kill you within 10 seconds. That general knowledge. All of those are set up on my map to ensure nobody escapes... Alive... MWUAHAHAHAHAH

ENJOY!
