I just released a new map for the Theme of the Month contest on fcmaps.net.
The new map is called "Cirque du Slaughter" and supports all game modes.  The theme was an amusement park, so this map has a roller coaster with buggies on it, a boat ride with a tunnel of love, a Ferris wheel, a mirror house, and some cannons you can shoot.  There is also a giant spider which the mirror house is the abdomen.  The legs are hollow and each have a thin propane tank in the bottom, which when shot about 80% of the time will go inside the spider and fly around randomly blowing up somewhere.  It is fun to kill people like this.  It all takes place over 6 grid squares, so the action stays constant even with the giant Ferris wheel that has 20 carts that are all accessible and destructible.  This map can be a blast with a full room.

I am amazed by the Cirque deez. my friends and I are indeed, impressed by your excellent creation.

I just uploaded my new map "Abandoned".

NOTE: it is just a play around map, not made for any specific modes

It's an abandoned amusement park (yes I started making it before you released cirque =P lol). It consists of a functional waterslide, a funhouse high up in the sky for "glass shooting" (get a bunch of people and shoot the glass out from benethe them and watch as they fall to their death/get cars dropped on them), a rollercoaster (not the greatest but the tunnel at the end of the hill is pretty cool) and a secret cave (to find it, go to the second tunnel of the rollercoaster and look at the wall of rocks closest to you, shoot the barrels and enter the tunnel).

Non functioning rides/attractions include: "you must be this tall to ride" sticks, an airplane ride, and one of those rides that takes you up in the air and drops you. There is also a food area and a slingshot ride, you can get inside the main slingshot ball and it's a cool little place.


Again it's just a for fun map for a few friends to mess around on.

DEEZ: That's cause your a sniper. I love when too many people grab a sniper rifle on this map, that's when I either show them who the better sniper is or hit the chute, sprint up the ladder and lay down all the fools stuck in scope mode.

I didn't notice that you said I could pull back to slow down, that is kinda cool.  Add some cover right over the cliff at the level to block snipers from across the way from shooting people on ground level in front of the chutes so more people go out there and take them.  If you did this one simple move I think people would move around a lot more on your level.  Don't get me wrong, I like the level because I like to snipe, but those poor short range players got a tough time coming as it is.  Except you, but you do have an advantage.

Yeah, you have a point there DWC.  I rarely use anything but sniper.  Is sure is fun when snipers are stuck in scope mode.  Have you ever heard of quick scoping in CoD games?  It kinda works in FC2 also.  Within certain ranges you can aim, then zoom out of aiming mode and shoot and still hit your target.  Of course in CoD games I never snipe, it's always the MP40 for me.  And the M-60 in CoD4.

This is a handy piece of info to have.

For my next update, I was thinking of putting a bigger tree at the bottom of the chutes to block the vision of the people above and clear it up for the people below. Maybe even some bushes on the hill. I need to move my out of bounds markers so am definately thinking about an update. I would like to get some ideas about this sniping issue before I move on.

Yes, I heard of quick sniping from back when I played Socom. I didn't know you could do it on CoD and FC2, but should of figured.

NEW MAP: Watery Wonderland

This map was created for the TOTM contest, but unfortunately may be disqualified because I was unable to build a coaster. Not that I can do it, but I've reached my 40,000 limit. If I still have time, I may throw out an update with a small coaster design but we'll see. Other than that, I have been hosting the map and getting some good feedback. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

Yeah, colonial fencing is one of the easiest brushes to make odd things out of, as long as you remember the un-rendered (hollow) side at the bottom.  They look pretty stupid when you can see through them.  If the thing I'm trying to construct has any large flat surfaces, I will try to make it out of Platform 3.  It takes less memory or you can hide occlusion blocks inside them if you double them up.  I don't like to use too much of one thing to build anything, because it kinda looks tacky when you have a plane made out of cement blocks.  Ubi should have just given us that plane that is in one of their maps.
