    This is a symmetrical map. Its basically 3 sloped hall ways. It was built with multi flag CTF in mind. Their are 4 equally viable flag return routes. 1 requires a flag toss to the other side of the map to a team mate. 1 requires tossing the flag up to a team mate.

    The map really excels at CTF. Having knowledge of all flag routes adds to the experience.

    The teleporters allow for moving all over the map quickly. It makes even small slayer matches move at a fast pace.


    Weapons-

    DMR-4
    Needler Rifle-2
    Spiker-2
    Sniper-1
    Rockets-1
    Sword-1
    Plasma Pistol-3
    Magnum-2

    2 sets of 2 way teleporters.

    3 health packs.

    Flag toss to the other side of the map via the upper hall. Flag toss option in the lower hall way as well.

    Red team base. Back ramp takes you to the upper flag toss area. The lower one goes to the sword room and the teleporter.

    Lower base hall way. Sword room is behind the red guy. The tele is just beside the ramp.

    Rockets spawn in the middle of that large ramp.

    Back hall. Sniper, 2 plasma grenades and the 3rd health pack spawn down here. It tends to be the least populated area of the map. Flag away spawns are down here.

    From the few pictures on there so far the map looks cool unfortunately it really is hard to get a feel for the layout due to the lack of pics. Also, the last 2 pics seems extremely low quality. The weapon list seems pretty good as well I would just suggest adding more pics/description if you want more feedback/downloads.

    Wow this map looks like it has some really tight, intense, and focused gameplay. From the videos and pics your layout and aesthetics look great and this looks like a really fun CTF game. Looks like there are plenty of ways around the map to reduce camping, good weapon set up, and haven't seen too many good maps making use of teleporters yet. Nice work!

    This map has a bunch of different flag routes, some of which tend to be forgotten, which can be to the carrier's advantage. Makes for some very intense flag stops.
