Borax

kimpan7_94@hotmail.com

Borax focuses in vertical battles, team balance and much more. This map offers some beautiful sights and great fun.

Blu team must escort the cart to the Red's Base. Here, Red have their Rocket, that they plan to destroy BLU HQ with. Fortunately for Blue, red is also dumb enough to have a powerful fan under the rocket.

Blu takes this to their advantage, moving the cart to the fan, it blows the cart into the air hitting the rocket. The rocket explodes into pieces and Blue wins!

How it was done
Borax - From A1 to B1

The map is really coming together. The explosion is awesome, Jive Turkey did an even better job than for the VipersDen explosion.

For some reason that makes me think of an unpainted Warhammer figure.

Owlruler · 03-18-2009, 04:03 PM

Void, I got that feeling too.

Haha. Anyway, bad news, Beta 1 wont be on Gameday this weekend. Alpha 9 will be there instead. Reasons:
- Dont have time to finish up
- Need more gametesting from alpha 9
