    *Version 2 is now released so please comment on v2 instead, thank you*

    Rail Station 72

    Created by Speed e cake

    Supported Gametypes:
    Every game type is supported. The map shines when played Neutral Assault, KoTH, Territories, CTF and Slayer.

    Map Description
    Now I know what your thinking, probably something like "ZOMG NOT ANOTHER TRAIN MAP!" Hopefully this one will change the minds of all the nay sayers of train maps. The maps shape is essentially a 8, a really squared 8, with a bit of spots pokeing out for cover. To cross to the other teams base, you must pass the train area so there is no avoiding the spool of death. The map is relitively small so I don't recommend playing this map with a party larger than 8 for 4v4, but even then it gets a little hectic. The weapons are semi-MLG style. Here is a list:

    x4 BRs
    x4 Carbines
    x2 Snipers (0 spare clips)
    x4 Maulers (0 spare clips, respawn time: 150s, 2/4 place at start: no)
    x4 SMGs
    x1 Bubble Shield
    x4 Frag Grenade
    x4 Plasma Grenade

    Whether it's 1v1 or 4v4, SMGs are really helpful

    Lots of sticks and No-scopes apear when this map is played

    Maulers can become a problem for the un-prepared player

    Does anyone see a face or like a funny image in this screen? I LOLed when I saw it. If you want, make a funny caption to it.

    _________________________________________________

    You may have noticed traffic cones where the Spools tunnel and the bases join, those were removed after play testing with Darkmaster949 (thx for the help btw!) because the de - railed the spool... somehow... Oh and this map was inspired by BLOOD FIR3's S7 Line which can be found here. Another great Train map deserves another? Lets hope so.

    This map looks very enclosed... I likee likee. It looks very fun indeed but it seems a little small for capture the flag...

    Well, if you do play CTF may I suggest lowering the respawn timer, 10 secs is a lot in almost every map I've made for CTF.

    I would have interlocked them but I ran out of boxes to do the whole map.

    it looks like you can get out with a simple grenade jump, did you want people able to get on top?

    He took pictures of it without the roof. The roof is there in the game so there is no grenade jump out.

    very nice map, i want to play it when my box gets fixed
    i will say, though, that it looks extremely easy to escape the map on the top level. did you do anything to prevent this? is there any re-entry for the nooblets who escape?

    There's a roof that completely seals off the top of the map, to create better views of screens I removed the roof.

    This map isn't MLG, it is more CQB, sorry. MLG has open space for the use of the Battle Rifle and the Carbine, this should be used for Mauler, SMG, Assault Rifle, and other close ranged weapons.

    I'm not sure what you just said but I used both double and single closed boxes for the ground, if you use open and weapon falls on it you can't pick it up so I had to change it almost after completing the map.

    really cool i like that theres no foundry floor (it bugs me like crazy the floor makes the map look bad)and that you are enclosed in the place killing each other. really awsome idea
