Lion's Den is a compact, symmetrical, CQB/Duel map. This design is meant specifically for Team Slayer game types of up to 8 players. Action on this map is fast paced and highly competitive due to the tight quarters and myriad of ambush opportunities. The Map is a tight cube featuring three levels of combat which maximize play space and allow vantage points for those who wish to create at least a bit more space between themselves and the main action. Here is a breakdown of the different levels of the map: The Bases (essentially just the initial spawn area) This small area is connected to the "Den" by a double open box. By passing through this entry a player is placed immediately in the action of the first level. A portal is also present in the Initial Spawn Area, this portal provides immediate access to the third level. The First Level This level provides the most open floor space of any level on the map (and it's not much!), it also features access to the second level via jumping off a dumpster. The open single box blocking your view of the center of the level as you come out of the spawn area contains a Mauler with limited ammunition and a lengthened spawn time. Assault Rifle is available in the other open box along the left side as you face the center. In the center is a invisibility power-up (the only power-up on the map, with an appropriately lengthened spawn rate. Short Barricades provide meager cover for those pressing into the center of the first level. The Second Level Essentially this level is four separate bird nests from which a player might gain some vantage over those fighting just below them. Battle Rifle pick-ups are on two of the nests and teleporters are on the other two with access to the third level. This level has almost no floor space and is mostly used as a gateway to the third level or as a temporary vantage point. The Third Level This level offers a single Brute Shot located in the middle of a bridge that spans the gap between the opposing sides of this level. The bridge is a double width bride with two opposing gate houses on each side. Players enter the third level via teleporter and are immediately offered strong roosts from which a Battle Rifle inclined player might pick at brawlers below. However on the opposite side is an identical roost so Battle Rifle fights across the gap are common on this level of play.

Re: Lion's Den - Unique and Intense CQB / Duel Map Ah, much better. The map looks nice. good job. :squirrel_wink:
Re: Lion's Den - Unique and Intense CQB / Duel Map Alright I think this should be more in line with the standard for map posts! Sorry about the initial, and rather lack-luster, post. But give this a Download and please be liberal with your feedback if you wish!
Re: Lion's Den - Unique and Intense CQB / Duel Map Great! Now just change your topic title so its not "Lions Den- blah blah blah" and so it just says "Lion's Den"
The map seems a tad bit small after viewing the screenshots but I'm sure its bigger. When I saw this map I thought of the biblical story of Daniel in the Lions Den. The map seems different however in appearence which would probably make the gameplay a lot more fun. Post some screenshots of the overall/entire map before I download it. Thanks and good job.
Screenshots make it really hard to get a feel for the map - try giving more overview-type of looks and less super-closeups of boxes.
