    New Map PC -THE FORGOTTEN ARENA-

    Hi all,

    It has been a while since posting and creating a new map (got more inspiration from playing the story), but here goes...

    The idea of the map is an Arena, like the one in the Single Player, but the difference is that it is based more outdoors. I loved the arena challenges, but I wanted to expand on that by creating a new one in the editor that brought some variation. Plus, now you can do arena Co-op!

    It is quite a difficult challenge, it expects you to know how to play the game so Solo is hard and Co-op is more manageable. Learning the ins and outs of the arena helps too. Please don't give up after one try.

    There are lots of weapons, ammo, grenade varieties and armor/medi packs scattered around the arena and you get some Golden Path assistance.

    Exploration is rewarded with new weapons to use and there are two hidden weapons: A Grenade launcher and the WW2 LMG. Hint: look outside of the playable zone for 1 of them (where enemies spawn).

    The aesthetic is Kyrati midlands, with lots of greenery and rocky landscapes. I couldn't afford the Vista with the budget, but I've done the background work myself.

    Please try, all feedback is welcome and enjoy! (Map will be online within 6 hours of this post)

    I ordinarily don't play ASSAULT maps very often, but had to see what you had done. Very Nice! Well Made! A little too much violence for me but gave you a "LIKE" anyway. I pretty much stick to OUTPOST only. I like some of the EXTRACTION ones if they are well thought out and make you think/plan your way out.

    AKAFootloose,

    Thanks for trying the map and giving me some feedback, I appreciate it. I tested it quite a bit with friends and toned it back quite a bit, considering its a small area. I agree it is quite frantic.

    I was disappointed when making it though when there was no option for 'All dead' before spawning the next wave, which would have provided a bit more rest bite and better pacing.
    Also I wanted to spawn animals and allies on different waves like the single player arena, which also you can't do. I just instead had an animal on release and an ally re-spawn to help add some distraction.

    The editor is quite limiting in a sense.

    Hey Magadite.

    From the screenshots provided the map looks really cool. It would be fantastic to see the map in action, so if you could get a video created, that'd be fantastic!

    Keep up the good work, it's always great to see new maps appearing on the forums.

    Thanks.

    Thanks Ubi_Jax,

    I appreciate the feed back, thank you.

    I have tried to make a video, but can't get it to run smoothly enough to watch; the recording software causes too much slowdown.

    I'm not really that knowledgeable about video recording unfortunately.
