    • X1 Sniper (180 second respawn)
    • X1 Sticky Detonator (150 second respawn)
    • X1 Shotgun (180 second respawn)
    • X2 Battle Rifle (60 second respawn)
    • X2 DMR (60 second respawn)
    • X6 Frag Grenades (30 seconds respawn)
    • NO Vehicles
    Although both sides (red & blue) have a similar layout, the map is not entirely symmetrical. Red and blue teams spawn on the opposite ends of the outdoors area, and have three paths to choose from to get to the other side; through the “Atrium”, the “Shotty Room”, and the “Sniper Bridge”. All are given names because the pictures will make more sense.
    The “Sniper Bridge” is dead center, and can be reached by an incline on either side one of the “Atrium” exits. Those other two exits are located on the red side and also blue side. Inside, you will find a ramp, followed by two left turns, leading you up to the top of the “Atrium” and the Sticky Detonator.
    Directly below the “Sniper Bridge” is the very small “Shotty Room”. Once a player has the shotgun, he will likely camp in the room, so throw some frags in there and get him out. On the bridge, there is a limited view onto both sides of the map; key word being limited.
    This map can host great CTF, KOTH, Oddball, and Extraction games. Keep it up to 5v5 for team-play or 6 person FFA to limit the chaos because of the size of the map. This map is meant for fast pace, competitive action.Below are pictures of the inside of the building, the "Atrium".

    Well, that's all of the pictures. I had fun making this map so please leave some positive criticism and possibly some suggestions on how to fix any mistakes you see either viewing the pics or playing the map. Thanks in advance.
    Happy forging!​

    The map looks interesting to play on from the pics. It would help to see an overview picture. I like how you made a rock ring around the base of the tree, it would look better if you did it on all of the inside ones. I don't think the cones are needed on the outside. The one thing that I don't like about this map aesthetically is that the main building seems to be made out pretty much the same piece. Maybe a bit of piece variety would help with. I hope that helps you :)

    Yeah i can understand the building. It was made with mostly flat and regular sized 3x3 blocks until the windows on the top section. I guess its just preference. The rock aesthetics took a lot of pieces and i ended up running out of "Natural" pieces to place. I agree with the cones completely, that does look kinda odd now that i look at it more closely. Thanks for the comments, I'll keep this in mind for my next map.

    i would be carefull using tin cups upsidedown, i used them on my battle creek remake and turned out i couldnt use them because when you flip them upside down they have an invisible pole that can mess up gameplay, u throw a nade directly in the middle of the tin cup and it will hit an invisible line so be carefull. Your trees may block this invisible line that i speak of but just thought i would let you know incase u didnt already.

    agh, the red.

    Try 3x3 shorts, they're cleaner. Dynamic lighting is broken on those jersey barriers, too :(

    That is all for my forgehub comment.

    Thanks AussieForger and SpinCycle014; I'm still learning in forge so all of this is new advice for me. Wouldn't it be so much easier if they had a "Grass" piece under "Natural"?
