Hey guys I made a map called Orison. This map has been through 4 play tests with may buddies and I am proud of how it turned out. But I want all feed back on it. Positive and negative. I really want this map to be a good map. I will tell you a bit about the map but just in case you dont want to know everything about it here is the name and gt.
Gamertag: alpha chief 14
Map name: Orison
Maps story: Orison is a outpost that had rolling hills, beautiful trees and rock structures. The UNSC was out on a mission to find a outpost to continue building scouting bases. They came apoun this outpost called Orison. Everything was good for a few hours until the fourunners showed up. Turns out the this outpost was built by a fourunner base. And was a little to close for the fourunners. The UNSC and fourunners ended up getting into a battle, aircraft and drop pods were crashed out of the skies. Trees were burned and broken down. And grass rot overtime. After 2 years moss grew in the stone. And grass tried growing back but failed. The UNSC has now sent out a team of spartans to investigate but the are companied by another set of spartans. Only one can investigate.
Blue strategy: its best for the blue team to run for the camo as they can get there faster and can help with the breakup. Keep in mind red team can get there and pick you off.
Red strategy: run for sniper. Its cloesr to your spawn but blue team will be right there when you go an pick it up ( if blue team goes for sniper) so watch out.
Setup: generally where snipe spawn is, is the best hold down area. It has a closed wall at the back leaving the sides and the front vanurable but because its in a cave like room its the best hold down area. But be careful as people with camo can slip by, killing you breaking the setup. Or if you want camo you need to break the setup to get it.
Camo respawn- 1m 30s
Sniper respawn- 2m
fun facts:
When building this map my first idea of a map was a remix of truth and regret together and call it mercy but eventually I started bulding my own ship. Out of purple blocks. Then forge labs came out with the march contest of a infection theme so i contibuted to it. When doing this I ended up making Orison but a bit different. Its called outpost. And it was the same layout as mercy but I liked it better so I deleted mercy, saved the outpost map and saved it again as orison. Added guns, powerups, fixed some stuff, fixed getting out of the map. Ajusted stuff, added and removed stuff and got rid of the green pool and sewer as it wasnt mine and kept drop pod. So full credit goes to forge labs on that but i did change it around a bit so its not the exact same.
Thoughs of development: when making the map I brought everything down into consideration. All the rocks and hills were put very specificity exept the ones that border line the map. But the miny rocks inside the map was put in covering sight lines, causing vanishing points. The hills do this job very well. Each power weapon was placed in a specific spot making each place have a purpose and a rush towards area. Everything was put in trying to make variety routs and so on.
I hope you enjoy the map and have fun. Please give me all feedback
