Shafted is an asymmetrical map that has been designed to play similarly to Damnation. The main focus is to have equality between sides while maintaining asymmetry. The power weapons have been chosen to have strengths and weaknesses in certain portions of the map. The regular weapons have been laid out equally between sides too. The map is primarily a mix between close and long range combat but those who have a good aim should prevail on this map. It has never been tested so far so i have no idea what gameplay is actually like but i suspect a few problems already. The main theme (obviously) is Covenant. This theme has been carried out throughout the entire map.
I really like the covenant theme. It's hard to get an idea of the layout but I definitely see damnation in the map. The asymmetry looks a little strange though, such as the tunnel/doorway on one side but not the other in the first pic. I would consider moving the sniper to the lower exposed end of the map since it is so disadvantaged, and would make more players go that route.
Thanks for the feedback. I do know of a couple of problems concerning layout but im waiting for the testers guild to get it tested before i make any more changes. The budget is very low (about $600 left) and im only going to make changes if they are urgent. Thanks again for the feedback. Its much appreciated.
