Los Angeles Skyline, also known as L.A. Skyline, is a level featured in Twisted Metal (2012). It consists of a combination of the designs of several rooftop levels in previous Twisted Metal Games. 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[]
- Vertigo- The only 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 it's 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 and houses 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," which is quite fitting for Twisted Metal.
