    This is a two base arena map designed for submission to getting a map on the circuit.

    Supported Gametypes:

    Team Slayer
    8 person FFA
    Team Oddball
    Team Flag
    Team Assault
    Team 3-Plot (Version of territories with 3 hills. Basically the same thing as Domination. This plays surprisingly well on this map)

    Weapons:

    1 Grenade launcher at Gold 2- 2:00 minute spawn-3 extra clips
    2 plasma pistols-Gold 3 and Pink 3-1:30 second spawn
    2 Needler rifles-One spawning Pink 3 and one spawning top Mid
    2 Magnums on the curvy ramps (you will know them when you see them)
    3 Health packs- One in front of each base window, and one at Pink 2
    1 Armor lock- Pink 1
    2 sets of plasmas- One with the Gold Plasma pistol, and one at Pink 2 with health pack
    2 sets of frags in front of each base window
    Several DMRs spread in common transition routes
    2 Jetpacks at each Bottom base/Base ramp

    Brief history. This map was designed to have elements of lockdown from halo 3 (by Nexen) played into a two base map. The Yellow/Nade Launcher side has mild influences from carbine from lockdown, and the Pink side is based off of tower side.

    However, the map is much more open to play to the strengths of the DMR, while still having nice lines of sight and non-overpowering Power positions. The bases are designed to accommodate safe, but predicable spawning, much like construct or guardian. This is accomplished by making a well covered bottom and a top base that is closed off in the same way that midship is closed off.

    Overview looking at pink tower. Here you can see where Armor Lock and Plasma Pistol spawn, as well as one of the NRs. You can also see where frag grenades spawn off to the left in front of the window.

    Minor forge help from Walterz (coloring).

    Shoutout to all the forgers who helped me cut back the majority of the screen lag.

    Minor design help from Sethiroth especially concerning pink side.

    Shout out to everyone who helped test this map and gave feedback, along with Julian who didn't help for jack **** but still deserves a shoutout ;).

    The map looks good, im giving it a DL right now to check it out further.

    Is Grenade Launcher an MLG standard weapon? thats the only thing i can think of off the top of my head

    Yes, it is on zealot by the holos. In fact, besides the automatic weapons, nothing is officially non-standard at the moment. Even then I think the Plasma Rifle would be a good addition from what I have seen.
