    *Recommended SWAT Slayer with gametype, Capture the Flag, Assault, and Oddball.

    SWAT BEACH is built between the beach and the wall on the map “Last Resort” there’s nothing behind the wall and it is ideal for 8 to 10 players. A variation on one of the first forge maps I ever built, originally it is set for a variety of gametypes but I retooled it to play for my favorite gametype SWAT slayer.

    You will note that there are quite a few vehicles tossed around the map. These are just for show and to be used as cover. The gametype settings are set for NO vehicle use.

    Custom Powerups??? WTF

    As you can see this map has a few elements that are not usually seen in SWAT maps. The Custom Powerups are located by the two turrets on either side of the map. These enable the player first and foremost to be able to pick up the turret (the gametype settings don’t let you board vehicles or enable turrets) I also made it give you high gravity, slow movement and overshield to keep the player at the turret for up to 30 seconds. This allows for some kill time that I balanced out by placing a few rocket launchers and missle pods on either side.

    Just for fun I placed a sniper rifle on each side.

    *Also there is one Beam Rifle at the far corner of the beach.

    I kept a few of the elements of my original map like the fusion core/propane tank stacks. In testing these turned out to be a really cool tactical element. In one case when one player ran headon into a three player ambush he set of the powder keg and was able to kill two and escape the third player. Plus explosions are cool.

    I also placed a few equipment items around the map just for fun.

    Enjoy.

    Rocket launchers, missle pods, turrets, and sniper rifles in SWAT? Doesn't sound like a great idea to me. Other than that, the map looks alright. Is it easy to spawn kill?

    Snipes have limited ammo, and even though this only plays on the beach of lost resort the distances are large. rockets and missles are anti turret weapons as you know in swat the br headshot rules. As for spawn kills unlike most swat maps all of my spawn points are in at least partial cover. Thanks for the feedback.

    But In swat you had unlimited ammo. I am guessing you changed that aspect so people wouldn't camp with the sniper rockets?

    True. I placed plenty of BR's around the map as well

    for the actual swat game type the weapons on map option is disabled so the roctet and the sniper wouldn't show up on the map at all. I don't know if the turret will spawn though

    I created the gametype with general swat settings but all weapons will spawn

    So you don't start with unlimited ammo? Also I don't think the rocket or the sniper gives you an advantage because the BR is more versatile and a BR headshot is an insta-kill anyway.

    Well it looks pretty cool any way. I to love the swat game type, and this this map has all the cover that is necissary for swat i'll download to check it out.

    Also: is the beach blocked off

    Yes the beach is blocked off but not impenetrable, and yes it does balance out well. I didn't enable unlimited ammo but I placed just about every BR in the inventory around the map. Njoy

    Hey guys not sure where to ask this question but my map Swat Beach was moved to minigame for some reason. I have it set for just about every conventional gametype and can't imagine why it was moved. ???
