T/DM Arena of Ice (EDIT: v0.9 -> v0.91)

Arena of Ice

After quite a long time I messed around with MMPlus and PolyWorks (just for compiling, as usual) again and this map is the outcome. As the Selfkill.com Winter mapping contest sadly did not receive any submissions I decided to dedicate it to a winter theme, an icy cave. Therefore (and because Im a bit lazy) only few sceneries are used (all should be default) plus a custom background, theres just not too much that'd grow inside such a winterly cave

Its a map that is suitable especially for simple deathmatch/rambo/pointmatch play but should also offer good TDM action with not more than 2 teams as well as HTF.

There are no waypoints yet. If someone wants to provide 'em, please tell me. Credits in the map info will be provided of course.

!!UPDATE!! (Please redownload)

0.9 to 0.91
- added a few more sceneries
- added custom background (edited version of http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/enlarge/ice-cave_pod_image.html)

Seems bit too naked to me, and those spikes looks like theyre gonna get on the way.
Nothing too impressive with graphix, I do like the colors thought.
3/5

bout these spikes: theyre intent to provide cover temporarily (you can float behind them for a while). Besides that, they wont be too much  of a hurdle, if youre adequately good in steering your lil solider.

Working on a graphically improved version now.

Not the sexiest map, but well gameplay works as it does always at dm. Anyway glad to see you still with the maps. Dunno if you remember me, long time ago, when dinosaurs were around, you helped me at start with mapping.

Yeah, guess theres a lil glimpse in my memory bout that. Grats to you being a mod now

It's a nice map, with good gameplay for a DM map. I don't believe the spikes are a problem, since there's places you can't get stuck between the spikes unless you've used a lot of jet or was boosted. It's a crude anti-spraying technique, but it works.

As of right now, I like the colors on this map. :J

scenery & background update provided. waypointer still needed

[DarkCrusade]

Lovely background, gameplay is cool Find somebody to waypoint it, maybe Zakath has some time, he can do that easily I think

[scarface09]

Gameplay is pretty well done, although I thought the spikey platforms in the middle would be made of ice too.
