VVVVV COMPLETE MAP FEATURING VALAR'S TEXTURING VVVVV
--> http://www.filefront.com/16153117/dm_ethic.bsp <--

hello all.

after rigorous play testing of 1v1s and 2v2s with many many different players, I feel it is time for the obligatory thread on the U.

this is dm_ethic. it's not the prettiest map, that's for sure... but that's not the point. 99.5% of my focus was on gameplay. initially intended for just 1v1, i was pleased to fine that it also plays a fast and fun 2v2.

WARNING: THIS MAP IS NOT REALLY INTENDED FOR PUBBING WITH MORE THAN 6 PEOPLE THOUGH IT CAN KINDA WORK

the ramps you see in the image below are to be used kind of like a surf map... to stifle fall damage and increase the speed of gameplay. this map rewards players with good movement.



in the image below there is a jump pad, which allows players to jump up to the catwalks and collect the goodies.

the area with the canopy contains an rpg. the ramp in front can be utilized by strafing and jumping into it. it takes some practice to do consistently so beware
at first, many don't understand how to get the rpg. this is achieved by crouching in front of the box with skull and crossbones and gravity gunning underneath the gap.



there are many facets to the gameplay of this map that must be discovered on your own. i'll put up a link hosting the map soon.

valar offered to do final texturing for it, and swot offered some additional help, so this map is subject to (cosmetic) change.

hope you all enjoy.

really good work, nice to play but its not a beauty. would like to see some scrims in it

this map makes my butthole swell with happenis.

really is a great map for 1v's. if you can incorporate some real life stuff into the map like some nice rough walls and trees etc, it would make it much more realistic!

keep up the work man!

Seems to run pretty smooth and should be a fun map. Can't wait to put it on the servers and get 12-16 good players on it... Thanks for letting me test it out. Very good job man!

Yeah, i've played some 1v1s on it as well which was fun, great map vitamin and good job

the pickups on that grate (4th picture) are arranged kind of oddly. It doesn't look very natural

Other than that, nice

Nice map Vit, plays quite well , keep it up.

Gets pretty flowy when you get used to it, hard to play with 8 times your normal ping though , good work Vitamin!

needs more orbs

thanks for the positive feedback so far guys (p.s. i know it's an ugly map... valar is half done with his texturing so that should not be true for too much longer).

@ blas no amount of orbs is enough for you

Kick ass little map. Nice work.

won vee woooooooooooooon....

Gawd, wat is wrong with u.

where is DL?

there will be a DL link this weekend, and probably another after because Valar tells me he's making good progress on his beautification of the map.

It's a really nice layout and with this...

Looks like your going full throtle with you creativity.
I didn't dislike any of your maps tbh. Love the layouts. Keep em coming.

Btw is Valar finished with it yet, or is still working on it?

The map is completed

reup anyone?

Oh yeah, that link on the first page doesn't work anymore.

If you google dm_ethic and scroll down, I'm sure you'll find an index of maps from a hl2dm clan or two.
