I find it funny how people graded it so harshly in the beginning, nice at the end and it is still downloading. Currently #2 all time on this site. Laugher.

yall this map really sucks ass. this t2 version shouldnt be played at all. i agree to whoever said that we need to move on and never play this map cuz if it was the replicant of t1 then think about it, t1 had a cheap system of play but made in a way thats its really fun to play but t2 is really realistic and very complex and a up to date game and if t1 map clones were mixed in for its fun-old-wild play then t2 wouldnt be t2 and its maps would go down outa businness so dont be dumb and give it a F for not being a clone or whatever u wanna call it its just not t2's style so be in with t2's world ppl and enjoy it. ps i give it a F for not being a clone :) but i hate how the reason has to be that way

Here is a tip: If you are going to make a map from tribes 1 and make it a tribes 2 map, then DL and get Worldcraft. You can make your own bases with it. unless you were too lazy to DL it and make the base yourself. I know i was like that (was, being the key word), but i tried and started making my own objects. It is hard at the beginning, but if you keep at it, then your ok. This is a sorry excuse for Broadside. You get a C-for the terrain and at the very least trying.

There is a reason why Tribes 1 maps weren't made in Tribes 2. They would have redone them had they felt a reason.

While i can see you have tried on the terrain, you have done a pretty horrible job on the rest. It does'nt have the same feeling or gameplay as the original broadside and above all the base is completly different. I would expect a remake of broadside to actually be similar to broadside. If you had just put in a little more effort to make the base, it would definatly be a better map. I dont know how this got ove 9000 downloads.

Grade: D+	Submitted by: \<>(*)<>/ - 03/15/02 01:13 5117
I played it, it's okay. But with other remakes out there(and betters one than this)I dont understand why people keep downloading this either. The only reason I see people DL this thing is to keep it at number one. oh well people will keep getting this for some reason.

come on people. whats wrong with remaking the old broadside map from T1, and giving it a sortof "Tribes 2" feel to it? There's nothing wrong with making it with different bases and terrain... just because it has the same name, and is more or less a remake, that doesnt mean it has to be exactly alike. go play Tribes 1 if you want actual broadside.

Grade: A-

Submitted by: _Tex - 03/13/02 15:31 5084

Come on people lay off. The map is nice for a server side Broadside for T2, however, yes, if you want to get technical, there is a much better client side version available. However, you're always limited as to who can and will see a map you make when you make it client side. Some people just don't understand. I like the map, I'm sorry there are so many incredibly rude non-constructive people in the T2 community.

forgot to post a long ass time ;) this was good so i will give the grade that was intended for it when i ment to grade it. but now most ppl realize that this is a sad map and could be better (also this map was awesome in t1 ,why u ask its because the game play was different then and it fitted the action as we saw it when we played t1. now as we move on to the all new and better t2 we see how this map isn't still good because the game play has changed we now see maps that offer more and better qaulity to us.

Well not playing T1 I wouldn't know what the original map was but this is pathetic.. just 2 bases (not original) and a bunch-o-platforms but I'll restrain from giving you an F because I bet if you made the map now you would be able to make it much better

Grade: C	Submitted by: Merc Knight - 09/03/01 18:05 2463
I give this map a C, only because it doesnt look like broadside enough, what you SHOULD do is make a prefab that is like the original T1 Broadside Base, then you get an A.

I dont want to give this map a bad score but i guess a b is not an a. Anyway, this map is only really good with ultra what ever. It's also not my favorite version, and I liked the older construction better than this base that was grabbed from the selection. This map didnt really take much to do, but good job being the first one to do it, i guess?!

Grade: B+	Submitted by: A Drunk Driver - 07/09/01 22:18 1265
This is a very well made map, but I wouldnt give it an A because it was made off another map from T1, but it still is an exellent map.

this map rocks! my only complaints are that it is not broadside enough, the sensor should be right on top and bigger. there should also be a mortar turret somewhere and the flag needs to be higher up in the main room. otherwise, A great map worth downloading, the terrain editing is awesome and looks like real hills

This is one finely made map. A must have for any server. I am telling you, I played it repeatedly, and I love it. It is an outstanding map. I love the size of the base, and the way its laid out. The feel of it is, lets say, superb. Again, fantastic map.

Well i guess its a pretty good attempt but these bases suck for this kind of map. From what i've heard there hasn't been alot of time put into this one, but i thank you for the try. I liked this map lot in T1 and im actually makeing the base for T2. Just wait till you see it. I thik itll be ready in about three weeks (have to do textures and sizing and such) but im going to make it as close to the original as possible (except for sopme textures)

This is a incredibly fun map to play on but it is just to easy. Get a energy pack and you can fly from entrance to the enemy's entrance, grab the flag and you are home free. It is fun to snipe here though but another thing is that the juggernauts can't even get up to the other base and the bots just keep trying but they fall and I snipe them. If you are going to make a sequal make them further apart!

This map just prooves that Broadside cant be done on Tribes 2. Our Broadside days are over, if your still in love with broadside then you might as well go back to T1. And unless you've got a good video card, your FPS will die when you step outside.

Awsome map, thanks a lot. I have been wanting to recreate some of the old T1 maps for T2 because I like the old ones better and Broadside is one of my fav's, now all we need is a Dangerous Crossing, Scarabre and Rollercoaster. I would also like too see some recreated with a few T2 changes, like patches of water or lava or a forest. Thanks for making such an awsome map! : )

Broadside/blastside, rollercoaster and scarabrae were my favourite maps. Tribes2 needs some proper air bases, not just those moss covered bunkers or that strange desert tower that looks like a boot. And what about Drop ships? they have no purpose in ctf, but they kicked a$s in c&h, i liked the idea that you had just arrived on a planet and were about to drop down to capture some wierd alien temple. Tho a Working dropship would just be plain AWESOME (think able to fly, use afterburners and transport ppl around and stuff) Aah those were the times.

Grade: C+	Submitted by: wow! ion.cannon - 06/01/01 11:29 639
lmao... ummm all it is is the bases from Caldera set about the same distance apart as they are in broadside... the only thing that resembles broadside about it that he did himself was select the grass terrain and the clear sky. like the guy before said... make the inside of the base like broadside and youre gold. until then... ummm... hmmmmmm.

I like this map a lot, but as far as "Broadside" goes, I have some gripes. First, the bases are too far apart. I recall being able to hop to the next base easily as a scout in T1.Also, the terrain is different. My sky is turned off to save FPS and it is just nasty. Next, what the hell is with the vehicle pad? Gripes aside, this map rocks. PS-If somebody could make an exact duplicate of Scarabrae (including the base), I would PAY up to around $4 to have it.

This is a great map! A read all the crappy comments from condescending know it all-picky-gotta complain about something-losers. Its called Broadside because it "kind of" resembles the layout. This is a great wide open map, something that T2 is missing. Most maps in T2 have pea soup fog or water every 10 ft. You did a great job! The bases ARE well designed. I like the U-shaped path to the flag, in one door and out the other. Plz make a "Raindance" type map I would love to play it and I'm sure I could get my teams server to put it in rotation. Thanks again!

Aint the real Broadside way too different, so dont call it that way. Has lousy FPS (20-30) for its size. Had troubles getting it to run cause of the [SF] in the name. If you turn Sky off u have a horrible neon green sky.

I like how you don't need to be a hero and go really far into a base to get a flag on this map. It forces it to be defended. I did like the location of the objective which also made strong d a must. The base seemed unnecessarily large but it fit the size of the original. I wouldn't mind this map being accepted on ladders.

Grade: B+

Submitted by: Mathias - 05/02/01 23:28 78

As maps go, this one is pretty good. Lotsa hidey holes for sneaking around in enemy bases and the destroyed vehicle pad is a cool touch. I really didn't care for some of the textures like the main platform floor. Looks like its that rubber tile crap i always see in bathrooms. I think a nice grey concrete might look better. I also would like to see the flag moved deeper inside the base. Thats why i liked broadside so much. You had to infiltrate deep inside the base for a flag cap. I still like original broadside better, but this is a worthy substitute. Now we just need a version with a turbograv vehicle station.

Pretty good try, but the old Broadside just has a better layout and feels a bit better. Try changing it a bit to be a little more like the original Broadside and then release it as Broadside][

This map is great! We used it for clan practice and had a 20 on 20 game and we could not stop playing. This map is actually more fun than the original Broadside. You take the solar panels out and then the entire base is open up for a heavy attack. The flag is in a perfect location for D and O alike. Grab this map now, it rocks!

A good start, but just doesn't capture that ye olde Broadside feel. Might be the vastly different interior layout of the base, or maybe it's the terrain that's just too unfamiliar. It's a good attempt, and not a bad map, but I need my classic Broadside!
