Well, I finally finished a new map. Named Elemental, it has 3 defined areas, all very different, and each with it's own style. A bit of colour in this one, and some nice smooth polys to play on, if you don't fnd the few tiny bugs that are around. Very fast paced with around 5-6 players, but more will just make it even more insane if you like that.

I have to thank Pine for helping me with this map, not physically, but for inspiration, testing and a crap load of whining. He looked me up after he liked one of my maps and got me into doing another one in a similar design.

Other info: It is waypointed fairly well, and should suffice for any single player game, except they tend to like the spikes a little too much which can get annoying. But unfortunatly to fix that would require a lot of time spent fiddling with waypoints for a very small outcome...

And here is the map. An overview should do fine, due to it's size:

Please tell me what you think.

Ok, as per Spyder's request, I have changed the icy bit to 'ice', and the bloody part to 'hurts'. I'll leave the old version up too, so if you want you can try both and tell me which is better.

you forgot wind :P, anyhow, it looks very nice like all your other maps. *click*

-EDIT-
The map disappoints me after I tried it out.

Firstly, I thought the 'Ice/Water Element' side was suppose to be icy...but it wasn't when I stepped on it.

Secondly, I thought the 'Fire Element' side would have slowly take off your health if you stand there, but it wans't when I stepped on it.

Thirdly, 'Earth Element' is the best made out of the three sides/elements

I had thought about doing exactly what you said, ice for icy bit and lava for bloody bit, but I wasn't sure if ppl would like it. But I can certainly change it if you think it would be better. In fact, I might just give it a go now and see what it's like.

Thankyou for the comments.

Just a little extra help on your map maybe you want to fix this but
The circle on the right bot get cought in and just jumping up and down really fast and then die the one on the left shoots you up in the air if you crawl over it Just a little extra help!:)

Now now guys, don't fight. I really appreciate all the bug finding, and I will try to get onto them soon, although I already knew about a couple of them and failed to fix them on the first try... But I will try again as soon as I have time, I just started uni and it's keeping me pretty busy at the moment.

Glad you all like it :).

I don't like it, sorry. :P
It's too small and plain... it probably lacks of sceneries too.
The texture shading is still pretty good though (as usual with your maps).

Make a wind/heaven one up above it...and then ULTIMATE TEAM MATCH MAP. Respawns points are obvious.
