Another new level of mine: ROCKY ISLANDS

Well, after some rough times, this one is permanent. Welcome to rocky isles. Here are some postcards:
"Nathan sits atop the highest cliff and gazes into the ocean"
"Nathan stares into the small eastern archipelago"
"The open ocean can be daunting to cross: Even for the most experienced TT player"
"After a long stay, Nathan stares at the western mesa, rising out of the ground in the far ocean"
Neat little place I got going there, eh? Rocky Isles is a vast archepelago of islands, each one will eventually have its own spawn point, and powerup.
These are actually old pics. I have already added some foliage, and the ammo gate. Look for this unique server! It'll have a RED DOT beside it! (lol)

Not sure where the game playing would come in.
Do we island hop?
Run through the fog/water. That might get old real soon.
Does the fog still take you out - that might get tedious.
Did you have a certain game in mind?
Or just making it to make it, and show the world you can?

It looks like a vast sea of ...sea. Not sure where the game playing would come in.

I think it is cool, i support any new maps that work at this point. It does get a bit annoying to be underwater all the time, maybe another large island toward one of the sides? Suggestions: make a little string of arrows and jumps out to an island, going through an ammo gate. The current one is a little hard to get to. Make some long, windy one lane breakwaters, you just really need more land. Too much water gets old. Put trees underwater :) . Make a thin, spindly little mesa that goes straight up about 50 feet from the middle of the ocean, give it little walls, just like a lighthouse. If you can, tunnels? Over and underwater, caves too. Make a boost pad series that shoots you straight up. OOH make little paths underwater, trees, rocks, etc, spaced so you can follow them underwater. Not walls, just paths. Make a loop-de-loop with a boost at the start and a jump at the end (again if you can).Wow. Okay, it is getting late.

Although i am making maps for the people, I also enjoy to show off my creations :)
A certain game? Yes. Battlemode. Lots of hiding spots, and the seas provide great cover.
Ammo gate? Those are old pics. It is now moved to the main isle.
I'm currently working on covering the whole main isle in camo, so it can be the "home base".
CTF is also good on this map. Pick an isle, thats your base. The flag and players spawn in the center, under the camo. That's alos the powerups hub, so to heal you gotta leave the game. Sorta.
Scrum may be harder. Expecially with the players that just do laps areound the "underwater gorge", with the scrum, pissing ppl off.
I am currently researching the skill of making you die if you go into the underwater valley. Well, thats actually quite easy. GOOD IDEA NATHAN! lol.
Yeah. Ill have jump pads across that.
I AM SO SMART. lol again.
