LA Skyline

LA Skyline is a map from Twisted Metal (2012). It consists of a combination of the designs of several rooftop levels in previous Twisted Metal games.

Description[]

The map contains 4 main buildings - the KU7X news corporation building, the Double Life Insurance building, Calypso's own Calypso Industries headquarters, and Powercon office/condominium building. The buildings are organized around a giant, spinning, central satellite dish platform that features ramps that need to be lined up to collect weapons and health pickups.

Map Variations[]

Main Map (XL): The full version of the map.
Vertigo (M): The only other map variation. Medium sized. Contains the central platform, the KU7X and Double Life Insurance buildings.

Trivia[]

The levels that inspired this one are the following: Rooftop Combat from Twisted Metal (1995) and Twisted Metal 2, New York from Twisted Metal 2, and Abandoned Skyscrapers from Twisted Metal: Black.
According to polls, this level is the least favorite to many due to its difficulty in both Story Mode and Multiplayer and the unfair advantage that Talon & Sweet Tooth have over others.
If the crane and zeppelin are destroyed, they will crash into a skyscraper respectively and send it tumbling down. The debris can be entered, housing an assortment of useful weapon pickups.
In Story Mode, the central platform is not rotating, hence making it easier to access some areas.
If the Double Life Insurance sign is hit, some letters with fall off of the framework. The letters that are left read "Be Insane".
