    Boring ****:

    Club Crater was one of those lost projects that you forgot was almost finished, minus a few small details here and there, but sort of forgot to post it while hundreds of maps stacked up in your local files. Originally a remake of ODST's Firefight map, "Crater," (also the Hunter area from Reach's New Alexandria campaign mission) I soon discovered the map simply didn't work competitively. After adding the bridge and widening some of the upper pathways, it ended up being a hybrid of Crater and Midship, which ended up being a pretty good combination.

    The map supports 2-6 players with a focus on it's own Team Slayer variant and Quick Flag v.2*

    *(Highly recommended modification to multi-flag for smaller maps in the 2v2 and 3v3 range. Settings include faster flag return (5 secs)/reset times (15 secs), a 10% speed reduction as opposed to the default 75%, and no radar for the flag carrier to prevent easy beat downs.)

    Weapon Set:

    x2 Magnum @ 30 secs/ 2 spare clips
    x1 Assault Rifle @ 30 secs/ 2 spare clips
    x4 DMR @ 20 secs/ 1 spare clip

    x2 Plasma Pistol @ 45 secs
    x2 Needle Rifle @ 20 secs/ 1 spare clip
    x1 Plasma Rifle @ 50 secs
    x1 Gravity Hammer @ 160 secs
    x1 Concussion Rifle @ 180 secs/ 2 spare clips
    x1 Plasma Launcher @ 140 secs

    x1 Custom Power-up** @ 150 secs
    **(Custom Power-up: 1.5x overshield + 120% movement speed. Slayer only)

    Club Crater has always been a great map to play on (how it took this long to post is beyond me.) The flag paths are good, offering a bigger risk for the shorter route. The hammer is beast, though I still am not a fan of the plasma launcher or the position of the concussion rifle. Overall though, a great design that plays flag incredibly well!

    Ah, I remember watching the map grow up. I still think it was better with the grenade launcher... the only reason you replaced it was me. And I'm sad about that.

    I like how you've not only taken inspiration from Club Errera and Crater, but from Midship as well. the map plays pretty well and is definitely enjoyable. I think it would have been cool if there were more Midship influences but I still enjoyed this map. Good work.
