Grizzly - A quality BTB Map we made for you

Hey folks,

it’s been some weeks now, since we stared the creation of our very first Forge-Map named “Grizzly”.
Since then it’s been a long way and now we can finally release it in a version, that feels good and stable and balanced.

So the basic idea was a symmetrical map with a huge tower in it’s center, surrounded by a forest.
The tower of course is a good sniper position, but the trees are supposed to not make it that easy. Even simple BR-Fights turn out to be quite challenging because nature is giving you a lot of opportunities to take cover.

There is a road circling the woods and two Rocket-Hogs on the left or the right side of the map. t’s really fun to fire your rockets through the trees, trying to hit your target - or at least do some splatter damage.

As power-weapons we serve two Binary Rifles and a Hydra.
Use the Hydra on top of the tower and lock enemies, you probably won’t even see. And use the Binraies to keep an eye on the ones wo control the tower.

You can enter the tower in two ways:
Use the gravity-lift underneath it, or the man cannons in the left or right corner of the map to jump right on top.
But be careful - there is a console on top. Pushing it’s button allows you to close the towers gates, preventing attackers to enter by using the man cannons

So in the end we were trying to create a map with a unique feeling and atmosphere. A map that’s actually symmetric, but doesn’t look that way. And most of all: A map, that is actually fun to play but still has it’s feed on the ground.

Here is a link with some visual impressions:

Feel free to play

  • BT Slayer
  • BT CTF
  • BT Strongholds (The stronghold on top of the tower is awesome)

Just follow my gamertag (HerrMittmann) and look for a file named “Grizzly 0.6”.
I will bookmark it later.

So we are very proud of this map. It started as a scribble and developed to something that seems to be really professional - or at least we feel that way :smiley:
What I’m trying to say is: We would really love to see more players test this map and hear your opinion, even if you are not satisfied yet. Just let us know!

I like what I read here. Tommorow when I play again I will check it out.

Thanks, would be nice (:

Seems like a good time. Love btb. I hope 343 makes a new dev btb map soon.

So anyone touched it yet?
The guy frome forge.world will test it tonight. Perhaps somebody wants to joint?

Sweet, I’ll see if I knew the time and zone.
Ima check it out in a few minutes feom this post.

I’ve touched the map, and I LOVE IT! Reminds me of Timberland in HALO CE :]

I’ve played it too. Only real suggestion is that you might wanna add something to complement the Hydra. Something anti-vehicle like a Railgun.

Yeah, thank you (:
At some point i almost thought waypoint is…dead…when it comes to forge :S

Well, there actually is a railgun at the “landingbay” behind the rockethog.
There is also a plasmacaster in the garage on the other side. I’m afraid, to tell you…you probably need to play our map again (:

Did you just play slyer or objectives as well?

Perhaps this weekend some of you are willing to test again?
Id like to join
