Smugglers Keep Created by WADE W1LS0N Map Description This floating fortress is known as 'The Rats Nest' to UNSC Law Enforcement Officials. This map was primarily built with 4 way team games in mind (spawns are set up for Red, Blue, Gold and Green teams for all the game modes supported). It is fully symmetrical and features 4 identical bases, each of which feature 2 floors with a 2 way elevator shaft between them (sorry, don't know what else to call it, but it sure ain't an actual elevator I'm afraid, just does the same job). There is a 4 way sword grab via the man cannons at each base (which also serves as a 4 way grab in Oddball btw - although the sword must be grabbed prior to the ball so it's either a 2 man job or in need of a very well planned and executed one man operation), but please beware the obvious potential for collision involved in a 4 way midair grab It is also possible to jump between the 4 main pillars surrounding the sword at the center of the level, although this too is a risky proposition (since the jump is at the very limits of Spartan capabilities when made without the assistance of either a speed boost or jet-pack). The map also supports Flood.

Thanks for taking a look at the map and commenting, after seeing your comment yesterday I took another look at the map myself and found myself agreeing with you so I've spent some time since then giving the map a minor reworking in regards to cover and line of sight and have hopefully sorted out the problem now. I've updated the download link with the new version and I'm currently updating the screenshots. Ok, the screenshots have been updated now, any further viewings and comments would be very much appreciated
