Hey all, I dug up a few of my maps from back in the day and decided to throw them up here for anyone else who wants to look at them. I have much more maps than what i am posting in this thread, but i figured i would put some of my maps from years back up here for you guys. These 4 I am posting are all ONS maps (because that is what i mainly played when 2k4 first came out) and some of these maps are still in beta stage, some are in a final stage, but all of them are extremely playable, and imo are a lot of fun. I try to gear all my maps towards fun over ascetics, and I also never release a map or have it beta until it is completely playable and at least 90% close to final. (i hate those peeps who release shit with beta on it when the maps so basic it doesn't even work lol) so i hope you guys enjoy some of these maps, and if you do and there is a calling for it, ill dig up some more of my old maps (I either made or was apart of making a good 15-20 ut maps over the years so i got more to share if need be)

ONS-The_Way_of_the_Samurai-beta4

Level Description - “As dawn breaks upon the valley of the Great Samurai warrior the tension of battle brews in the air. The great Dragon and Samurai fortresses are locked in an epic battle over who will gain supremacy over this sacred place. Search for the Warrior within like those of days past, for you will need it to be victorious in this land.”

Additional info – This is a Medium Sized map comparable to the size of Torlan (maybe a hair smaller) and takes place within a sacred area of Japan. The map has 7 power nodes with a distinctive cross over pattern at the center. The map also has a VERY thick and heavy fog which has rolled in for you just before the battle began limiting visibility to less than 50 feet. This greatly decreases long range battle and “spam” and greatly increases up close in your face fighting.

Screenshots
(these first 2 are screenshots without the fog so you can see what the general overall map looks like and will be like, the 3rd is a section of the map with the fog and what it will look like during play)

ONS-DragonsLair-beta1

Level Description – “This battle takes place inside a dragon’s lair. Make sure you can concur the map before the dragons return and concur you.”

Additional Info – This is a Medium Sized map and its basically what the name says. I built a cave, with a large center room that has an opening to the "outside world" and 2 dragons looking down upon the fight. this map has been a long time coming and I know there will be problems with it...its is only a basic beta. so yell all the issues u find it in that u think should be changed or added or what ever. also I know the fire is weird in some spots so u don’t have to mention that and I also know about the map radar, that the cores are slightly out side of it...will fix in later betas. Best way to describe this map is a larger, much more complex rendition of “bitchslap” with more passageways, rooms, nodes, and strategy, mix that with a much darker gloomier feel, and about twice the amount of power nodes (something like 16 total nodes) and you get pretty close to what this map is. I got some screen shots of you guys as well

ONS-SmallEmpire

Level Description - “See if YOU can control the entire empire”

Additional Info – This is a small to medium sized map which takes place in a lone building in a décolleté world. This map only holds 3 nodes so get ready for some very hard fought battles. But even though this map may not have many nodes, it more than makes up for it through its multiple secrets, and its overall balance and fun.

ONS-RoofWars-V1

Level Description – “Battle on a rooftop high above the ground, feel the cold wind against your face while wading among clouds but don't hold up for too long or this will be the last you will ever feel!”

Additional Info – This is a small to medium sized map which takes place atop the tallest sky scraper. There are only a few nodes (4) which lends it self to some intense battles over these few nodes. Just make sure you don’t fall off the side during your struggle because it’s a long way down.
