Tectonic

Dear Reader,

This map was inspired by maps like Guardian, The Cage, and Lockout. Accordingly, you will notice many similarities regarding gravity lifts and the weapon set.

I wanted to create a map that you could fall off and plummet to your death, so I built it on the water. I also liked the idea of building it around rocks, with the huge facade in the background.

More importantly, I wanted to create a map suited for free-for-all or small team games, especially one-sided objective games.

As you can see by the pictures below, this is a mall map with many changes in elevation. There are about three different levels, the highest being a catwalk that overlooks the center of the map. It plays very well and balanced. Slayer combat tends to flow in a circular fashion around the map. All gravity lifts work as planned.

Weapons:
Health Station x 2
Fragmentation Gernade x 4
Plasma Grenade x 4
DMR X 3
Needle Rifle x 1
Plasma Pistol x 1
Needler x 1
Shotgun x 1
Sword x 1
Grenade Launcher x 1
Sniper Rifle x 1

Overview 1. Blue team spawns on the 4x4 corner to the left. Red team spawns in the base to the right (double room).


Overview 2. The base has 4 ways to access it.


Neutral Loadout Camera. Gravity lift from the bottom to upper level.


Bottom Level


Sword (below, center. Like the Hammer in Guardian.)


Sword (again) with landing platform. You can jump from the centerpiece to the rock underneath the base as an alternative route.


Back view of the base. You can walk up the rock and jump in through the back window of the base. The shotgun is located on the diagonal bridge before the gravity lift.


Center, Middle Level


Sniper below before ramp upwards. (similar to guardian)


See through floor to sniper.

Thanks for checking out the map. Hope you enjoy it.

 

Hey thanks for checking it out! I appreciate the comment. Sorry about the aesthetics. Because it's such a small map I tried to keep it looking simple. I felt too many aesthetics would make it appear cluttered.
