    Map Description
    A small map designed for free for all gametypes .A plus shape for the bottom level with stairs on two sides opposite to each other and hidden man cannons on the other two sides opposite to each other to bring you up to the second level. On the second level you need quick reactions times to keep up with enemies coming from below you from the sides, or above you from the ring of boxes, and around the any corner can lead you to another enemy. The second level has merged boxes specifically designed to help you up to the ring of boxes. When on top of the ring of boxes you have a good view of the corners and you can fall down in the middle to surprise anyone down there. Since this is a small map with a shotgun in it it may seem that it may be over powering but i have tested it with friends and it isn't over powering.

    It seems as if you will be respected for obviously reading how to post a map by the looks of your map and your post. Very nicely done I could see some pretty intense games going on in this map.

    What can I say but: Why are all new members better at forging than me??? No, but great map. I like the bridges merged into the boxes. I'm sure I could figure a good way to do that, but how did you do it?

    I bet your going to laugh when i tell you because it's soo easy just flip a box on its side for the bridge to be at that height

    This is easily my favorite FFA maps (except for KoTH because you and Darkmaster kicked my a** every time), I'm sorry for ever doubting the map! I think the only problem I have is that it's a fast paced map: the mancannons give you fast access to areas and it's really tight spaces (lol) so fights get really hectic, but to get to the top ring, you have to hop twice to get there and then there is minimal cover. The good news is that the 4 - way (again, lol) split in the middle lets you drop out of fights you can't win quickly. Good job, keep forging!

    This is a really good map. The interlocking looks good and the layout looks good for some small games. My only complaints are that there are a few spots where the items you have interlocked are both trying to show themselves and you end up with a weird flashing glitch, and that I feel the center platform should be lowered a little.

    4/5
