    An Impoverished community testifies to the current resource shortage. 2-6 players
    After more than two weeks of slow, tedious construction, I give you Shanty Town, formerly codenamed Helix. I think I should also mention that this is my first completed attempt at an asymmetrical map, It seems to work very well with 1 flag and 1 bomb.
    Shanty Town was inspired by the level “Quarterback” from G.R.A.W.
    This map works well with SWAT, Slayer, KOTH and 1 sided gametypes.

    The map
    [​IMG]
    is themed as a Tar-paper shack, cardboard home community. As such some of the buildings are heavily damaged, and none of them are in perfect repair. The roof of Regen building is collapsed
    [​IMG]
    to form a ramp up to the top, and part of Defense base’s roof is sagging,
    [​IMG]
    allowing a jump to the top of the building.
    Two open double boxes are set up as ramps to the second floor of offense’s building,
    [​IMG]
    and a rocket launcher is housed next to mauler tunnel.
    Defense base
    [​IMG]
    boasts a warthog which serves more as a movable turret than a transport. Equipment and weapons on the map are geared to fast paced action and intense rounds of CTF.

    Weapons:
    1 Sniper Rifle
    2 Shotguns
    1 Brute Shot
    6 Battle Rifles
    1 Assault Rifle
    1 Rocket Launcher
    2 SMGs
    2 Plasma Rifles
    1 Plasma Pistol
    1 Carbine
    1 Mauler
    1 Magnum

    Equipment:
    1 Regenerator
    1 Bubble Shield
    1 TripMine
    1 Gravity Lift
    1 Power Drain

    Grenades:
    Plasma x4
    Frag x6

    looks good. that fence wall on the roof you used as a ramp is a great idea. nice interlocking but you should change the title of your thread to your maps name only which is shanty town. other than that good job 8.5/10

    It's an impoverished community, the buildings are degenerate.

    it looks pretty cool. i like the staircases and bases and stuff, i also like the little room.
    it looks slightly sloppy in some parts but i think that's how it's supposed to be. and by slightly i mean hardly noticable
    good job!

    Other than those double boxes, there isnt much other interlocking is there.

    Technially, the map is supposed to be somewhat sloppy, I just can't bring myself to make it worse. Anyhoo, to compensate for my terrible chargrin from my own map, I have refurbished Warehouse (Which I currently consider my best map) by rebuilding some parts and re-aligning others. The updated, version is now available in my Fileshare.
