Description: Apex is my first go at a Forge Island map. I used the entire large island to create a very large vehicle heavy experience. The map is mostly flat, but there is a lot of cover for infantry and easy driving paths for all vehicles. 14-16 players recommended.

This is really cool. I like all the buildings that are made from scratch and I like that it doesn't seem empty but still has plenty of driving room

coolest pic at the bottom right there lmao! looks like some fun 8v8 combat

This map was very fun Wraith but I think it could do with less vehicles and maybe more cover. I'm no Forger but that's just my opinion from playing last night in Vincent's lobby

[Guest Psychoduck]

Damnit Wraith, you know I love the crap out of the jumps.  The map plays pretty well for CTF, but the fact remains that it is just too flat.  Incorporate jumps like this into a map that has more meaningful height variation and you'll have me impressed.

[Wraith2098]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I am going to try a version of the map with one chain hog at each base and replace the neutral Mantis with a Rocket Hog. I think that will help with the vehicle overload. The map probably feels open because like Psycho Duck said, the map is very flat. I've worked very hard on the lines of sight though to make sure you can safely walk around the map. I might try adding teleporters to the sides of the map for faster infantry flow.

I wouldn't say the map is too flat. I mean, considering it uses the building on the sides it more or less erases the flat feel.I mean... it is still their, just not that much. My only pointless opinion is that the central upper building is pretty open. I feel like their should be columns input their somehow.

[Wraith2098]

You don't think that would make it too powerful of a position? I've considered beefing up the center, but I was always concerned that players would be able to control the map too well if I did. I'll see if I can figure something out. 

[T O lR T A]

Well, I don't see too many people hanging out their too much, but you may be right because if it was enhanced than it would take away from the map. Ummmm... I'd probably keep the middle same then.

[Wraith2098]

I actually decided to take your advice and put some pillars inside the center room so you aren't totally exposed while other players are attacking. It feels much more safe now lol

[Blaq Cloud]

I said that forever and a sunday ago! I guess its not a good idea unless it comes from a tortilla.

[Wraith2098]

I remember that! Blaq Cloud gets kudos for the original idea haha

[AbleSir Thomas]

its not a good idea until a bunch of people yell at you lol
