Here it is - my first official release map. It took me a while but I'm really bad at getting inspiration and waypoints have been gits up til now.

Anyway, Desolate is a really small map, and not very good for more than four players. It's around the same size of Arena 2. The Green team spawns are meant to parachute down, but I didn't put them high enough and I couldn't be bothered to change it :P. Also, watch out for the bunker as on my pc it respawns you if you touch it...but a nice surprise when you dont expect it >).

Unfortunately the map asks for some scenery that aren't in it :( so I'll put them up. If anyone recognises their scenery I'm not in any way taking credit for doing them as I did nothing of the sort :P.

I'm hoping to get a map into one of the official packs one day, so I'd appreciate it if you tell me how to improve and what to change. Thanks.

Hey, what do you mean by 'actually'? :P. I've been practicing on Mapmaker for ages, like I said this is my first RELEASE map.

Thanks for the comment though.

Haha, well I did try messing about with the map trying to get it with no extra scenery, and it works for me but not for others. Dunno about your version, but I don't need it :P.

Thanks for comments dudes, keep em coming. I haven't got one bad one yet!

It looks pretty good, but a bit bare to me...

I dunno, I've seen that people don't tend to like bump mapping. The simpler the better for some. But it's prolly just me who thinks it's bare. It's good, but...seems to be missing something.

Still looks pretty good.

Enjoy

Well I think its because there isn't any bulky scenery apart from the trees and bunker on top. The underneath is a bit barren. But the map is just too small for lots of scenery, which I don't like anyway.

It's a cool map, even though it's a bit small, it's ok to play online. ;)

Edit: modified a polygon for better strategy and waypoints (still poor).
Sorry about that :)

Pretty cool, a little overboard with the scenery though.

Wow! GluLm, you did me proud! [:D] I like the jungle scenery you used at the bottom, very nice.

ascor: I took the original map down when the thread died. I don't even have it any more.
