ball_pipeworks

Hello, again! I'm back with a new ball map that I call ball_pipeworks.

Take a peek:

Goals:
- I wanted to do something fundamentally different than other maps I've seen in altitude. Given that the game provides horizontal wrap-around on the maps, I decided to make pipeworks take advantage of this ability fundamentally. My hope is that it gives a sense of drama/suspense because you can't be sure what's waiting on the other end of the pipe.
- I wanted to flex some new photoshop muscles I've developed as of late. Hopefully the look is convincing!

Concerns:
- Whales might be too strong if they camp the wrap-around pipes.
- The map feels small, even though it is a decent size (3500x1280) because it is split in two.

The Future:
- Get it up and tested!
- If the wrap-around idea (which was kind of my whole motivation, heh) proves to be unworkable, I can just swap the halves and turn it into a more conventional map.

I'm excited to hear feedback!

Cheers,
Manatee

Nice graphics and layout, but I don't see this ever being a competitive play map (for scrims, etc).

Good work though!

Really cool idea, where the only way to get to the other side is the pipe. I agree with ajuk, don't see this as a serious map, although I haven't played it yet, it could be. Simple yet cool graphics, nice job.

Yeahhh, I was afraid of that, haha. If this opinion still holds after people have played it a bit, I'll switch it up so it doesn't use the wrap-around.
