HEY! look another map suggestion thread

So here is a fairly new Jailbreak map jb_quake_b4 from the images its textures looked pretty good for a jailbreak map (or maybe I've been conditioned by the amazing textures of WIP and minecart) and has a nostalgic place in the heart of those 90s kids.

I went and messed around in it and I have a list of pros and cons it has from what I've seen (note: I have had no actual jailbreak gameplay of this map)

Pros
  1. map looks and sounds sound very quake-like
  2. Has all the basic minigames for a jailbreak map plus bonus ones such as climb
  3. Cell doors button seems to have a wait period to prevent that one blue from sabotaging the round
  4. I saw no bugs when trying out the minigames
  5. Has powerups to use (no spellbook required)
Cons
  1. Most of map looks it reused the same eight textures making the map harder to navigate
  2. Armory doesn't have health packs
  3. Rebel spot in diner will probably not go well
  4. Seems a bit on the smaller side

Giving my honest opinion here. Looking at the screenshots, the map doesn't look too much fun.

I understand it's supposed to be a Quake map which means it's bound to look like an old school kinda map, but the one thing I do not like about it is the fact that there is a little bit of blank space which could have some potential. The spaces just seem too big like an unfinished area.

The textures make the map hard to navigate so I do agree with that statement. Maybe a little re texturing wouldn't hurt. Overall, the map doesn't seem to be any where near as good as most of the maps on the JB server currently. It is a new map, but that's why we provide feedback!

It's cool you are looking out for new maps though! Would like to see some added in the future! :p
 
"Armory doesn't have health packs"
Meh Famous didn't either but it does with the newest update

Ok i downloaded the map, put it in a private server, added a bot so I could roam around and this is what I think:
I like the map because of it's aesthetic though it's not colorful, and in a rather unappealing way.
Climb is REALLY easy, and the water in climb when you are in it is AWFUL to look at. It's a bright blue and you can't see in front of you very well. Might be interesting for HnS or rebelling.

Steady pace is VERY unique from the ML_Castle or Famous one, I like it a lot.

Obby is also very clever in it's design though other then a couple things it's fairly easy. But it's on par with ML_Castle and Minecart in difficulty.
That being said... while blues can shoot into every section of obby, the tunnels between each one they cannot, which means for HnS it might be extremely hard to get to a red hiding in one of the vents. Eventually people will get really good at the obby to the point where hiding in the last tunnel is just superior solely because blues might die trying to go in there.

Bloodrun looks fun and interesting so I would love to see how that works. I don't like that it pushes the blues though on top. Don't know if that is a bug or not either.

The butchery-armory entrance isn't so bad in the sense that a blue could go to the armory to check on it because the vent leading to armory from that teleport takes some time to crawl through.

My take on this map is that I would love to see it added, and see how it goes.
 
Fucking horrible map. Don't even bother adding it, thanks. Has way too many bugs and has the most bullshit easter egg ever. If you want to know how bullshit, Deniable put invisibility right beside crits, and they're extremely easy to get.

I could go on about the problems but there are too many.

I do have to agree that there are more negative aspects and positive though what you just said brings even more negative aspects so I agree this map should not be added

Played on a server running this recently, played pretty poorly as half of the problems mentioned here happened. Some inivisible spy managed to kill half of blue team, during hide and seek people hid in the climb water making it really unfun for both sides, although some good did happen but in gameplay this map would get a 4.5/10 plays ok but you can tell it needs a lot of work. (Then again I only played 4 rounds on it)
