    Once the leading procurer of energy, this old power plant is now out of business. Short Circuit takes place at the heart of the station, it's power cube, that still has some juice in it to put up basic shield defense. It is made up of 4 main sections, the Conduit room, the Electric Death Room, the observation halls, and the ground floor of the cube itself. And what better place to kill people, and spray the walls with blood than a ex-high voltage room that no one cares about, who has probably killed more employees in the past several years than slayer kills you get in a match.

    -------Statistics-----------------------------------------------------------
    Map: Foundry
    Players: 2-6 recommended.
    Supported Gametypes: FFA+Team Slayer, FFA+Team Oddball, and FFA+ King of the Hill.
    Symmetry: Asymmetrical
    Techniques used: Floating Objects, Geomerging, Interlocking.

    -------Overview---------------------------------------------------------

    CENTRAL POWER CUBE ROOM

    The (A) signs lead to the Conduit Room, and the B sign leads to the observation hall. There is plenty of cover provided by the middle structure.

    Action Shots

    Okay, I am shooting at the guy jumping, who is shooting at the green guy who just shot the dead guy with the gray guy.... yea...
    [​IMG]

    The center structure can make good cover, and result in a chase around a bush.

    Lol, nice try, but no, you can't...

    Electric Death Room

    It's called this cause it sounded ridiculous, duh. It is fairly simple, just an open area, with dual spikers. Fast action happens here.

    Observations Hallway


    A teleporter after the stars going over the (A) signs takes you to the Observation Hallway, with 2 windows to look out at the center room with 2 different angels, providing maximum coverage of the area. There is 1 way in, unless you are good and nade jumps, and 2 ways out (in/out shield door). But camping is not much of an issue, do to the fact that it is a small, cramped area, open to a barrage of grenades.

    Conduit Room

    This room is interesting, because of its multiple levels, the bottom floor, the first "bridge" ledge, the area of boxes, a "Conduit" pipe made from a wire spool, another "bridge", and another Conduit pipe. In the back, in the diamond spawns the sword.

    looks pretty cool. I like the sword spawn. It just some how makes the sword look so much better than it is.

    Looks cool and I love sword spawn. The power cube seems to remind me of the OMNITRIX from the transformers movie.

    This map looks fantastic. Not only that, but it uses a unique and interesting theme. Not only that, but it manages to implement the theme without compromising the map.
    Great job. :)

    I feel very left out:(. I had to test this one by myself. Why didn't you invite me to play? Anyways this map is so freaking awesome. Flawless interlocking, nice weapons, good aesthetics, plus more! My favorite of your map. You need a mic so we can work on a joint project sometime. Nice work once again.
