dod_orange_highrise

[Captain Quirk -I|G-]

Today I was a little bored and wanted something to do. I decided to take a map from sourceforts and twist it to dod_orange. And I figured i could try and get them on the orange server. The map is dod_orange_highrise. The original map was sf_highrise_v2. I have made a few minor tweaks and the map is perfect for dods. The following link contains the download for 9 screenshots of the new map and the map itself. Please support my map if you like it so we can put it on the server.

I would have uploaded here but the filesize was exceeded.

PLEASE dont say its bad ONLY because you dont like most orange maps. Actually give it a look.

The map looks to be heavily rifle and nade spam based. I also forsee much camping on the spawn exits with an mg given its inability to take refuge in any nearby cover when exiting.

The automated door may actually make it worse since the person will have to be at a standstill and then start running once the door is fully opened.

Perhaps creating a "basement" level and dropping down the center flag to this level with an open top. Then have ramp path entrance (ladders are too easily camped) to this close quarters combat from each of the second flags.

I feel like this will give aid to a team with good long range ability to have a higher vantage point on the center flag, but also allow assault/support class to play a role in achieving victory. It also adds a dimension of flanking.

That first flags on each side are just kind of iffy in my opinion. I feel like something needs to be changed with that layout, but im just quite not sure what yet.

Thanks for the advice, I'll fix those when I get around to it again. I'm not trying to be lazy...

The map is cool but it could use some houses/buildings, boxes or sandbags so you can hide. The map will be to open so evrybody wants to play Mg, Rifle or sniper. But with something to hide behind and some more corners it would be amazing good! Keep it up hope to play your map soon.
