    Description
    I played a custom game the other day where you spawn in front of the other team's flag and you have to carry the flag to the enemy's base. its like assult but instead of a bomb, you have a flag. so i decided to make my own version of this map.

    Weapons/equipment
    *this is per side, the bases are exactly the same*
    Sniper
    Brute shot
    Plasma granades x2
    BR
    SMG
    Plasma rifle x2
    Spiker x2
    Bubble shield
    Lol cats
    Regen
    Radar jammer
    *theres also rockets and over shield in the middle structure*

    The base.

    tower in the middle. great for sniping. this is one way you
    can get on top of the middle structure

    How to score. The flag carrier cant jump so they cant just cut through using the middle structure.
    The goal point is in the back of the base

    Although i cant tell if it was intentional, i believe this map is (and i dont mean to sound cliche) incredibly open. For slayer maps, I believe wide open areas can be ok at times, but i cannot feel the same for objective, especially one-sided games. The concepts and gameplay fascinate me, but the map itself could be better.

    What I like;
    -The idea of one-sided assault, using a flag instead is cool and original (even though you stated you didnt come up with it)
    -The concept that people must try to escort the flag-carrier around because he cant jump, I think is a nice idea of fusing two gametypes together (VIP and CTF).
    -Using all of Foundry (but it looks too open. so minus points there)

    I think if you made a better map, for this creative glameplay, this would provide for a much better overall game experience.

    its open in the middle by rockets, but when u play it with a bunch of people thats where all the action is because thats where the boxes are to get ontop of the middle structure. the map that this was based from had the same type layout. the sides though arent that open, although i can see that it looks that way.
    And also (very important) its two flags not one! its a lot of fun.
    that rhymed :D

    Great job geomerging the gravlift. I think that is so aweosme and I wish I could do that. I like how you merged the stairs in the center of the map. I've never seen that before. One of the things I dont like is that it seems too open for a good flag game. Other than that though. Good map. 4/5

    Definately looks pretty cool, and open. But The layout seems pretty sweet, but I think that the Flag carrier being inable to cut through the middle is a little too drastic. You should make it so he has to get a grav lift or something that will lift him up, that would make it not too easy to just cut across the middle. Anyway it's okay, 3/5.

    This doesn't look like a good map, sorry to say.

    1. The map is way to open for flag game. I don't want to be trekking with the flag and getting shot, left and right because your lack of cover.

    2. Where are the weapons? It seems like you put some BR's, Sniper, and Rockets on your map? I realize you have some duelwieldable weapons, but those aren't good for flag games.

    3. You interlocked things that shouldn't have been interlocked and you didn't interlock/geomerge things that should have been. I don't feel like putting any pictures of what you did wrong, but here's a starter; geomerge any type of open box into the ground to remove the bump. The geomerged grav lift was totally not needed as well.

    4. Why would you put oshields near rockets? Not the best idea. Seeing as how you didn't put your weapon spawn times in your OP, I can't critique those.

    I haven't played on this map and I won't seeing all the things wrong with it from pictures, I don't feel like giving you a true rating. So, I would say this map is an average 3/5.

    ^in reply to icedfrappa-whatever.^
    1. its not that open. play it for yourself before you post. and its not like its a 2v2 map or anything. its more of a 6v6 or more.
    2.there are a total of 21 weps not including equipment or starting weapon. why wouldnt dual wieldable weapons be good? ... exactly.
    3. i merged almost everything. i dont really feel a bump when i walk into an open box. and ur just mad cuz u cant geo merge a gravlift! :p
    4. its farther away than you think. OS takes twice as long to spawn than the rockets. so for every two rockets you can get one OS. and good luck getting there without wasting any rockets.

    Iced frap, you lose

    I like this map, It looks great for Team Flag games, and it reminds me of Sidewinder. Nice job geomerging the grav lift, I haven't even figured out how to do that yet. Great job, 9/10
