Map review of Chopper Ride
by GrandmasterJ | July 2, 2023 | 1594 characters
This is a very simple but fun horde map where players get to fly a helicopter on a fixed route around a big arena filled with human grunts and sometimes apaches. Players spawn up top on a cliff and there is a path around the center of the map in a big donut where all the enemies are, opposite player spawn is another cliff we can access the chopper.
The map has some ok weapons, in spawn we get a crossbow, rocket launcher, underbarrel grenades (which come with an M16), and an uzi. The chopper starts here but it can be controlled like any other func_vehicle so any player can drive it at any time. This also means if a player stops it in mid air and jumps out it becomes inaccessible forever. There is a teleporter in spawn that takes players to the other ledge with more weapons and ammo and a button that spawns a gargantua down below.
It gets old fast, the map is pretty small and the arsenal and enemies are pretty limited. It's a fun ride while it lasts, which is about five minutes for me. The bare minimum was put into presentation, with the bare minimum of texture used and some flat lighting.
Pros:
- Fun concept executed well
- the teleport between areas was useful
- fairly good arsenal
Cons:
- helicopter can get stuck
- not much to do besides ride in a circle
- map looks flat and bland
