Focus "Fight for your lives. Fight for your country. Fight for the center." Hello there! Welcome to my second map, Focus. This is my first small map so hopefully you guys (or girls) like it. If you are interested keep on scrolling down. Info: My goals for Focus were: 1. Make a multi-leveled small map 2. Have a central area that would be a hot-zone/ a fast way to traverse the map. 3. Make it nice to look at 4. Prevent people from being spawn killed Weapons: DMR x2 - 60s Plasma pistol x2 - 45s Spiker x2 - 40s Shotgun x2 - 100s Plasma grenade x2 - 45s Needler x2 - 55s Health packs x4 -15s OS x1 - 180s Layout: When I began building Focus (previously Plaza), I had the map Wizard/ Warlock in mind. The map has four bases: red, blue, orange, and green. Along with the center, which I guess can be called "Focal Point". Focus is a three level map (four if you include the ability of getting on the roofs). The bottom level, "The Pit", is mostly used for health packs/needler or a way to get to the second floor. Second floor contains the jump pad as well as the "Rock Gardens" on each corner of the map. The jump pad is useful for getting to the third floor, OS or, quick escapes. The rock gardens are the sites for the hills in crazy king and located nearby is either a spiker or a shotgun. Third floor is the locations of each base were either a plasma grenade or a health pack spawn. A bridge also connects each base to each other from the side. These bridges contain either a DMR or a Plasma pistol. In front of each base is also a walkway that connects to the center of the map.

Also the OS is there because I felt making a gun float wouldn't look good. 2v2 also plays well with the map. Overall I hope you enjoy my map. Please give it a download, it would be greatly appreciated. Also if there are any issues you find that need to be fixed do tell. It will only make my map better. Updates: [ When there are updates I will post the contents and time of said update ] 07/20/11- OS respawn changed to 180 seconds
Some parts of this map remind me a Gemini from Halo 2. The map appears to be well made, and the layout makes well for double team I believe. First glance the only thing I'd do is bring the OS spawn up to 180 seconds. 40 seconds may not seem like a big difference, but it adds up over the course of a game. However, that advice is merely my own opinion. I'll download the map tomorrow and post back with a more in depth review.
