Description:
Once an old factory, it was modified and turned into a stronghold. The stronghold was soon partly taken over by an enemy force. So, the two sides made a separating wall that spans the middle. Thus two bases were born.

Blue base during assault.

This is Blue base. With one warthog for transport (Behind the Double boxes) and various, but scarce weapon placement.

Weapons/Equipment for this area: The weapons for the base areas include 2 SMG's a BR and an AR along with a Machine gun turret. There is a Gravity Lift and a few Plasma and Frag Grenades in each base as well.

The Top part of the Elevator and The Arch.

The elevator which leads to the uper walkway is regenerator activated. At the end of the uper walkway is a shotgun. What is "supporting" that uper walkway is the arch. The arch took quite a bit of merging and was very hard to get even. There are walls that are merged into the sides of the arch's boxes. They are sat on floor giving the structure a nice clean look and blocking off the little gab below the arch as it curved up farther from the floor. That left a nice square box size hole at the end for warthogs and foot traffic to go through.

Weapons and Equipment for this area: As you can see there is an overshield halfway up the arch. At the bottom of the Arch (backside of the elevator) there is power drain. In the box size hole I left at the end there is a bubble shield. The power drain is where the bomb(neutral) and oddball will spawn. Below where the power drain is places is a store room. The store room can only be entered through one side and there are windows to shoot out the opposite side...or throw grenades in. In there are 2 plasma and 2 frag Grenades. There is also a trip mine in there as well. Outside of the store room a little ways away on both sides are carbines (one for each side).

A side view.

The left of the image is where the bases would be. The two platforms that span from the stairs to the vertical double boxes allow for an attack from above.

Weapons/Equipment for this area: There is an BR by the barrier on blue side(show in image) and an AR by the barrier on red side. There are two magnums on the double boxes before you get to the elevator. There is also a sniper rifle in between the two vertical double boxes. There is a regenerator by the elevator. It is on instant respawn for the use of the elevator.

Half map overview.

This is an overview of red side. Not much to say. This map is hard to drive a warthog on. With tight areas there is not much space to quickly drive through, but after the cram there is always an open area where you can easily turn.

Weapon/Equipment/Vehicle list:
Weapons: 5 AR's, 5, BRs, 1 Shotgun, 1 sniper rifle, 4 SMG's, 2 Brute shots, 2 maulers, 2 magnums, 2 carbines, 2 spikers, 2 plasma pistols, 1 needler, 1 Plasma Rifle.

Equipment: 1 trip mine, 1 bubble shield, 1 power drain, 1 regenerator, 1 overshield, 6 Frag Grenades, 8 Plasma Grenades, 2 gravity lifts.
Vehicles: 2 warthogs.

That's about it. If you have any questions just ask. So download and enjoy.

 

I have heard much about the bases needing more of an upgrade.

I intended that the person with the sniper rifle go back to the base with it and use it from there. But they could also go farther out into the map and use it from one of the outposts. But ether way I don't think there is a huge advantage for getting it. For the shotgun I put it as far away from any cover possible. It's up the elevator so if someone is going to try and get it everyone knows. So none of the power weapons should really be over powering. It's just who gets them first that gets the little bit of advantage.
