Topic: [MAP] we - tdm, dm ( especially ) for 1v1 or 2v2

Hi all this is my first map, so feel free to bash and disappoint me. I made it because i think that we need more maps for duels, 1v1 or 2v2. The map has some problems, like lack of space, which requires more precise movement. I think its quite balanced - 2 shotguns, 2 rl ( yea like dm1 ). Anyway i speak too much, here it is. Also I welcome any feedback, if you know how I could make it better, or have some suggestions or w/e ( yea thats the name of the map - whatever ) just post.

Yeah it was about time for a 2on2 map. I like it, but i think a little big for 1on1..

Anyways great for owning others in 2on2 mode

Thanks!

Hm, I wonder how the map looks like. I don't know, since only 3 screens are provided.

It looks like there are slightly to many hearts/armor, but I haven't had time to try it out yet.

Re: [MAP] we - tdm, dm ( especially ) for 1v1 or 2v2

I personally think this is a good map. smile I like how both halves of the map are kitted out well enough for neither team to have an unfair advantage. Good work. ^^

If I had to be a little more critical, though, there are just two things that bother me a little - the first thing is the sword. Like dm1, it's right at the top of the map, which is alright.. but unlike dm1, there's only one way to get to it, which to me is a little unfair. I personally tend to avoid using the sword so it doesn't really make a difference to me personally, but if it has to be included I would personally put it someplace where one team/player can't completely block off others from getting to it - at least not easily.

The second little thing is just a graphical thing - basically the dark background of the lower half. If you had to tweak it just a little bit, you could get it to look something like this which I achieved with a few minutes of tinkering:

Before:

and After:

You've got the layout already pretty good, so with just a bit of graphical tweaks you can make your good map an excellent map smile

Re: [MAP] we - tdm, dm ( especially ) for 1v1 or 2v2

Thanks for looking into it FragMagnet smile
I dont like to use the sword either, well not in 1v1, I just placed it there that fellas who just started playing can enjoy themselves with the ninja stuff. As for the graphics youre right i could have added shadows and made the whole map 'prettier', but for me making the map enjoyable ( i mean the gameplay ) was the priority, but ure right anyways. thx again.

I think most of the roofs on this map is too low. Whenever you jump you bump into a roof, which is pretty annoying in the long run.

Minimum height for free single jumping is 7 tiles between floor and roof. Now it is okay to have lower passages and such, has tactical value in making it harder to dodge there, but those passages really shouldn´t cover most of the map - gets claustrofobic.

I know the map is not airy enough .. but that should force more precise movement, which is not a bad thing if u think about it.

Re: [MAP] we - tdm, dm ( especially ) for 1v1 or 2v2

I think it is. If you move in predictable patters you become easy to hit. If you don´t, this map punishes you for it. When sound instincts get punished, playing gets uncomfortable.

Some air pockets here and there would solve it though. Then you´d ge a chance to breathe, so to speak, and the precise movement requirement is there without being a constant burden.
