    This is a mid-sized, rectangular map with one Tall End and Low End. There are 3 paths for pedestrian movement between ends and Man Cannons on each side of the Low End for fast movement to the opposite end. There are Inclined Walkways on each side of the map that run end to end.



    The Low End of the map has an upper level with a Central Hallway leading to the middle of the Tall End. At the Low End entrance to this Central Hallway there is a grav lift that pops you up to a Sniper Catwalk that runs side to side high above the 2nd floor of the Low End.



    The opposite entrance of the Central Hallway opens to a small open area in front of the Dish Building in the center of the Tall End. This building has 2 doors on each side and a dish as the roof with a tall Pillar in the center. On each side of the Dish Building there are small enclosed rooms with three doors located where the Inclined Walkways lead up from the Low End.



    Running side to side behind the Dish Building there is a walkway with small Firing Positions on each side. Directly behind and below this walkway there is an Upside-Down dish that looks out behind the map onto the Paradiso Island where there is a live Tank Battle happening. There is another grav lift on the far edge of the Upside-Down dish that pops you up to a small platform on the Pillar above the Dish Building.


    Thanks for checking it out, enjoy!

    I really like the layout of the map. The aesthetics are pretty good too, though it could use some more color. Should be fun for CTF or assault.

    Thanks for the feedback! Purple is kind of my trademark, and it's the "royal" color. LOL I'll have to add assault and give it a try, but neutral flag ctf on this map is pretty fun. The flag spawns on top of the Dish Building and the cap is @ each team's spawn. My friends and I have played it a few times, the flag can be easily stolen on the way to the cap.

    I used this map for gathering a party together during a FFA.

    It ran pretty smooth.

    I hope to get back to you on some team play experience.

    I'm not sure if you noticed this, since it would be easy to miss, but the brace there would be easy to hide on the opposite side of, or even in the tunnel inside it. You should either place a soft kill zone over it or use another piece that won't allow camping.

    Thanks pyro, someone did that in my initial testing and I took care of it long before I posted. Rest assured, there is already a soft kill zone there.

    I didn't get in that Team game yet but I did find the following.

    There is a large walkway running vertically through the big dish. It is easy to jetpack over to it's lowest portion and hide there.

    There's always one place you miss... thanks for finding it. Corrected.
