    IN HONOR OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF METROID PRIME 4! TWO OTHER AMAZING FORGERS AND I HAVE CREATED SANCTUARY FORTRESS IN A NEW CORE MAP!

    On behalf of Omni42, Portaleer, and Myself and two months of hard work! We proudly present Focal Point!

    Focal Point is a cool core map with a unique layout. It is asymmetrical and features a variety of close and short sight lines and long engagements. If you are not familiar with Metroid the map still is fun to play on and stunning to look at.

    Two key things that really are important to the flow of the map:
    1] The Orange walls at the end of the long slightly curved hallway are a wall jump. Just touch to activate! the more you utilize them the easier it is to move.
    2] The light beam in the middle of the map on the side with the sniper is

    Metroid Prime 2: Echoes was no stranger to diverse environments and the most notable one of these is Sanctuary Fortress. With its techno art style and heavenly area, it's impossible to not remember it. This map, however, is not a direct copy of areas out of the original, but more like a re-interpretation of this amazing area, despite some areas of the map being direct copies of areas from the original. Most of this map is designed to have the art style prime fans can instantly identify! :).

    With all of this said, what game types can it play? Well, let me tell you, you handsome fellow. This map currently supports Free for All, 1v1, and Team Slayer Variants [ranging from 2v2 all the way up to a 4v4(which is a little fast paced the optimal is 3v3)]. Optimal Player count? 6 people.

    What guns on the map (because not everything is on the list yet) Simple look below:
    Featured Weaponry:
    - 1 Sniper Rifle
    - 1 Grenade Launcher
    - 1 Smg (projection sight)
    - 1 H2 Battle Rifle
    - 2 Frag Grenades
    - 1 DMR (COG)
    - 1 Shotgun
    - 1 Brute Plasma Rifle
    - 2 Sticky Grenades
    - 2 Plasma Pistols
    - 1 Splinter Grenades

    [This map was leaked and became what you may know as N/A which was a leak of this map that I requested a takedown of as well as removing all map info]

    Definitely proud to say that I was a part of this project, and it was awesome to see each of us culminate our unique design approaches to make Focal Point what it is today. :)

    Very nice man, had a game on it earlier and I would say it's very innovative. I'm no master forger, but you've done a couple of things that I didn't even know you could do in forge such as the free running wall and the light beam lift. Very impressed with the attention to detail too, a really great design aesthetically.

    A couple of very minor points -

    At top mid there's some flickering textures which could be sorted out fairly easily using the z fighting tool. Also, as you enter long hall from red platform, there's a z fighting issue as you step off the first glass panel that seems to an issue with the arrangement of invisible blockers you've used. Other than that everything's great, well done man!

    They actually tested my map after yours on the stream (Wayward Alpines) and yours was a tough act to follow haha. It's my first successful attempt at a map so it's nothing spectacular but I'm fairly happy with it. Would mean a lot if you maybe had a look sometime a let me know what you think

    Hi there. I ended up making a somewhat subtly metroid-inspired map for the 1v1 comp (mainly the doors that are inspired from other metroid maps/the metroid series) and I also used a lift design based on the lift in the centre of focal point. I've credited you guys in my map description.

    I have seen plenty of gameplay footage and I cannot be more honored at your use of our lift. I am glad you liked focal point! feel free to leave it a review, my dude. I can say on behalf of me and my fellow forgers it's an honor to inspire someone else. :)

    No way, that's really cool you know of my map! Well you definitely did inspire me, Focal Point is some top notch forging man. The attention to detail is ridiculous. I already gave you 5 stars back in August and I'd give you another if I could haha. That map could be in a match making playlist imo, it's real quality.

    I'd be just as honoured if you maybe have my map a bookmark. Glad you're happy that I took inspiration from your map - come to think of it the floor in your main room inspired the floor in my map too, as well as Endless Shore by MrDeliciousMan. I'll add that to the description as well - I think it's only right that people cite their sources, so to speak!
