    This is one of many sacrificial grounds, which now serve as a reminder to the horrific past. 2-8 players

    Xanidu is a small symettric map with many high points and lowpoints. The map is centered around a fence wall bridge in the middle which provides much havoc. Around the bridge are many other areas of cover such as two Battle Rifle rooms jutting out of the map. Even though this map is small it still provide long range battles which makes the gameplay fantastic. The map supports Slayer, Capture the Flag, Oddball, and King of the Hill right now and in my oppinion those all work great with the map.

    Weapon/Equipment list

    Energy Sword x1
    Assault Rifle x2
    Battle Rifle x4
    SMG x 4

    Power Drain x1 (Located under Bridge)
    Regenerator x1 (Located under opposite Bridge)

    Frag Grenades x4
    Plasma Grenades x4

    Now to the pictures.

    Wow. looks cool. In my opinion , the stairs interlocking the wall in the "sworded" picture doesnt need to be there because if you took it out the space under it could serve as a wepons stash. the interlocking and floating was cool. 4/5. keep forging.

    Actually I got it from the song by Rush. But, I've heard it elsewhere too.

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean, so please rephrase because I'm all for constructive criticism.

    This is a pretty cool map but it looks kind of symetrical i think itd be better if each side gave a different feel. Anwyays i like how the bridge isn;t completely closed making players jump over and be wide open forr split second. =)

    4/5

    The map looks good I'll D/L and tell you what I think since it's named after a Rush song and Rush is awesome.

    Very nice interlocking. I like the higher grounds because you can scope people down with the BR. Nice job.

    I have seen many great maps, but after seeing this map, no map compares. This is a great symmetrical map thats great for 1v1s. 5/5. Keep up the good work kid.

    This looks very well made and balanced. There are few weapons here and I think that the sword might be overpowered. Maybe you could replace it with a mauler. The map only takes up half of foundry and you said that there is some long range combat. maybe add in a sniper because here it won't be too powerful.

    good job. 9.5/10
