Or QFC, whatever it's called. It's a pretty goddamn fun map, and should be hosted more often. For those who don't know off-hand what I'm talking about, it's the one where blue side is on top of a big cube, and green side is on a square island.
All of this is in the middle of a pretty big ocean, with a funnel-shaped piece of land connecting the blue and green islands.

Now, for some direct criticism of the map: Blue side has a pretty big advantage over green. This is because their entire island is a raised piece of land. Not just a little bit raised, but raised quite a bit (about 30 blocks higher than green's). This makes defending extremely easy.

Now remember that this is all in the middle of water. Green's only advantage is the fact that the choke point of the funnel is on their side. That is it. That is their only advantage. They are hugely disadvantaged due to their side of the island being practically sea-level, making entry to the island from water a menial task.

Now all of that I can deal with, but I can't deal with the fact that this map is almost never hosted, and when it is, it is utterly bombarded with scores of griefers, and when playing green side (I am always green no matter what) getting your only raised pieces of land destroyed is devastating to the already fragile balance of this map. So host this map more often, please.

If the creator of the map could make some changes, to balance it out a bit more, it would be appreciated. Perhaps have an already built wall around green's island (it's a very large island and building a wall even only 3 blocks high takes a very long time for one person.) Even if that was the only thing that was changed, it would help greatly.

I second this motion. Perhaps making blue block a hill (!ike regular hills,4orta stairlike) map was fun. Death to frogs

Oh also, if you don't have Kanye's pirate skin pack and you want to play this map, get it here.

It goes perfect with the map, and it's an amazing skin. It even includes headshot blood on dead soldiers. The only things it's missing are an ironsight (he's working on it) to go with the cool gun it comes with. (And maybe a more realistic sound)

if u can flank u can dig under the blue intell and get it, somone can be in there for hours and no one would know. that is the dis advantage, the advantage of the small one is that it is extremely hard to get in and out of thare as an enemy to them. u will alwase be insight of them.

So what you're saying is the disadvantage is that the entire blue side can be griefed to sea-level. Okay, I'll give you that. But it WOULD take hours to grief it down, and people aren't fucking dumb, they hear a shovel, they're gonna know someone's down there and go investigate, it's not that hard. Anyway, the map usually isn't even hosted long enough for it to be possible to destroy their entire island. I've never seen it happen.

True, green's side can't be tunneled under to reach their intel, but is insanely easy for people to grief their only raised structures.

can i get a dl?, cause then i would

Hey, I'm the guy who made the map you're talking about. It's actually called "Assault", but I use the QFC3 prefix to denote that it's by the same creator of Bridge Wars, Lattice Bridge, Isthmus Assault, ect. It started off as a clan tag and still technically is one, but the clan is not very active at the moment.

Anyway, I'm completely open to suggestions and I'm definitely listening to Kaede-chan's suggestion about the walls around green island. I think what I'll do about hosting is rely on those guys that are hosting my modified bridge wars map. I can upload Assault on the forums and see what you guys can do with it from there because I can't afford to buy a server.

Crispin should be on here reading this, he's the creator of the map. He's already looking into some balance issues I explained to him.

Edit: Just missed him, lol.
