    FINAL VERSION

    Final Version Changes:
    -Now 100% unbreakable.
    -New additional Sniper perch near Attack base.
    -Open Single Box below deck removed.

    Formerly known as Hellvetica... You won’t find any ridiculously crazy merges, nor will you come across gobs of unnecessary aesthetics here. This map is clean, intuitive, and means business. The beauty is in the design. Verbatim is the classic case of function over form (but the form ain’t too shabby either). The map is very versatile as well, working phenominally with both symmetric and asymmetric gametypes, despite being an asymmetric map. Verbatim is compatible with every default gametype. However, a few gametypes work better than others.

    We highly recommend:
    -One-Flag
    -Land Grab
    -Team Slayer
    -Neutral Bomb

    And also:
    -Multi-Flag
    -One-Bomb
    -Multi-Bomb
    -King of the Hill

    Weapon, Equipment, & Vehicle Loadout
    Assault Rifle x2 - 30s
    Battle Rifle x4 - 30s
    Covenant Carbine x2 - 30s
    Sniper Rifle x2 - 150s
    Rocket Launcher x1 - 180s
    SMG x2 - 30s
    Plasma Rifle x2 - 30s
    Needler x1 - 45s

    Active Camo x1 - 150s
    Overshield x1 - 150s
    Regenerator x1 - 90s
    Power Drain x1 (asymmetric only) - 90s
    Bubble Shield x1 - 90s
    Frag Grenade x3 - 20s
    Plasma Grenade x4 - 20s

    Ghost x1 (asymmetric only) - 150s
    Mongoose x2 (one in asymmetric games, 2 in symmetric) - 120s

    Notes
    Hellvetica is a NON-budget-glitched map. We have all $700.

    Much thanks goes out to everyone who helped test, and offer feedback.

    A big special thanks goes to Devinish, who helped tremendously on the spawn system, helping us to perfect the map. You rock dude.

    This looks really awesome. Aesthetically, it looks good, but gameplay looks like it would be sweet. You really used Foundry's space well, as it looks. Also, the defenders' base and the deck look intricately done. Great job. I've downloaded.

    Im so glad this map is up i remember testing it with matty and insane. Its so sweet. I really like how you used the symmetrical and asymmectrical tricks. It helped gameplay tremendousally on certain gametypes. My only concern is that did you fix territories witht the problem with territory 2 where the OS is. I remember it being almost impossible to get because you were trapped in there.

    Overall 95/100

    The back hallway of foundry? Yes, you can go back there. The office and the other half of the hallway are blocked off, though. It merely serves purpose as another safe spawn area for defenders.

    Great post. This receives a 7.5/10 or an 8/10 so far by the looks. So far, it didnt impress me that much because I know you guys and I know that you guys can do better. Great interlocking though. I'll have to do a forge through of this to confirm.

    Thanks. Territory 2 always has been available for capture from outside of the box, on any side.

    lol too funny Novak. Thanks for helping us test, we appreciate it. And thanks for the comment, but remember how epically close that multi-flag game was. works very well both ways.

    this is a truly amazing map, but no suprises there. as usual, the interlocking and geomerging are excellent. also, the photography is great. for many large maps, it is hard to get a feel for the layout, and foundry designer is often too confusing to figure out, but these photos really made me understand the layout. great job!

    Thanks everyone :0)

    Just to be clear, this map is NOT budget glitched, it features interlocking but no unnecessary merging. Only merging of things that keep you running smooth across the map.

    It is designed and built with gameplay in mind and we are planning on submitting it to the ATLAS group for possible consideration in Matchmaking.
    These were the guidelines set by Shishka. We also plan on releasing a budget glitched and prettier version for customs some time in the future.

    This is a map I'll want to play again and again and again. The gameplay is outstanding here. Its always been my motto that a map doesn't have to be overly complex to be fun, and this map is living proof of it. This is one of very few maps you can jump into and know the layout almost immediately, which I think is very important in user created maps. Intuitive designs are what most people are lacking now a days, but you guys have hit the nail on the head, congratulations! Good luck to you over at Atlas, I think you guys have a good chance over there.

    I like this, most of it. The back part of foundry, defenders base, is the best part I think. The merging there just surpasses any of my skills by a huge margin! The map all in all looks very time consuming. I personally thought that besides the defenders base most of the map was not that amazing amazing! Therer were good merges here and there but besides the defenders area this map does not get my download. You guys have great forging skills, but this map personally does not appeal to me! Also a little side note, you made a video showing the amp, but why not a video showing some gameplay! You obviously tested it from the pics so why?
