Toy Box Created by MADMAN Redux [br] Supported Gametypes: Team Slayer; Symmetrical and Neutral Objective; FFA [br] Map Description This is essentially a base-to-base map. Each team has a small base with the main feature being a gun turret that looks over the Toy Box from a fence box. Now, the Toy Box is the center of the map and the most dangerous place to be. However, getting in and out alive will reward you with a coveted weapon that may not help you while in the Toy Box, but it will help you within each base. [br] _________________________________________________ [br] This is an overview of the map from the blue base. It shows the Toy Box down low. In the center is the funnel and the sniper perch, which I'll get to in a minute.

And you can see a walkway which leads to the mancannon. [img width=800 height=600]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj107/MADMAN_Redux/ViewRed.jpg[/img] [br] Heading off the mancannon will shoot you to the funnel where the laser resides. The laser is very important to this game because it is one of the few weapons that consistently kills through fences, which if you've been paying attention, is a large part of what the bases are made out of. It is essential to taking out the other teams gun turret. Just make sure there isn't someone already there... [img width=800 height=600]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj107/MADMAN_Redux/LaserAim.jpg[/img] [br] ...unless he isn't much of a threat with the laser. [img width=800 height=600]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj107/MADMAN_Redux/LaserMiss.jpg[/img] [br] Down in the Toy Box, you'll have all kinds of problems with gun turrets and opponents tossing grenades at the fusion coils you are likely standing next to. This is one way to enable you to move. The fire grenade, which spawns inside the Toy Box, won't kill the turret. The fence box is enough protection. It will, however... [img width=800 height=600]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj107/MADMAN_Redux/FireinFlight.jpg[/img] [br] ...blind him well enough that you should be able to move to grab that fusion cannon or flame thrower. [img width=800 height=600]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj107/MADMAN_Redux/Firecover.jpg[/img] [br] Each base has a nice little back door covered with pallets. Inside this box, the gravity hammer spawns, and I put it there for one reason... [img width=800 height=600]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj107/MADMAN_Redux/Lockedin.jpg[/img] [br] ...So we could all yell "surprise!" as we bust out of the back of the base to descend upon an oncoming warthog. This back door is also very useful if you happen to grab the flag and have a teammate waiting out back for you with the hog. [img width=800 height=600]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj107/MADMAN_Redux/Breakout.jpg[/img] [br] This is probably my favorite aspect of this map. The main entrance of each base is under a gravity lift. I didn't know, however, the lift would suck me to the ceiling if I jump up underneath it. This means you can be a human booby trap. Jump up, raise your legs, and wait for someone to run in. Of course, you're also an immovable meat pie waiting to happen, so kill that person quick. It takes a few seconds to float out of the pocket.

The middle is basically a box of coveted weapons. These are our toys, the things we play with. Ergo, Toy Box.
It doesn't look too original, but I like the idea of the laser with fence boxes. The post and map are also very clean...me likey. =) Well done!
Thanks for the comments, guys, but it looks like no one's actually downloading it and trying it out. I'd really like some feedback. One thing I was torn over was whether to have the lifts respawn instantly or not. I currently have them on a 10 second delay, so if someone is chasing you, you can go up a lift and leave a grenade to cover you escape route.
For the lack of downloading, it often goes like this: Everyone has that blasted limit on downloads. Also, I can't use my XBOX 360 until I head home for the weekend. That leaves me with eight downloads a week. Your map, although interesting, is not mind-blowingly cool or original. Don't get me wrong, it looks like a lot of fun; it's just not the next Citadel or Cat 'N Mice. I will say that I like the idea of being able to destroy the lifts momentarily. I really wish there were a five second respawn...
