    Domain V2 is a slayer gametype based map. It's by far the best map I've made for FFA and works well for slayer 2v2 to 5v5. I made version one a loooong tme ago (never posted on forgehub). The reason i fixed it up was due to lack of gameplay and aesthetics and version 2 became what i invisioned...but even better... I hope this map gives you the same experience it gave me. DL

    Looks pretty cool, maybe a little crowded in some spots, but I'll have to download to see. There seems to be a lot of equipment as well. I like the structure that the Invis is underneath. Also the way that you have the team starts blocked off. Not too many maps make it so you can stand up there.
    Is there anything behind the wall with the slanted stair case columns?

    This looks good. I like the mix of close combat and long LOS. The forging looks good and gameplay looks very good. The layout looks very good and overall, it looks really good. Definitely a download from me.

    seems like theres to many power weapons with the turrets sniper rifle rockets camo you cant really make foundry like that cause it takes a few seconds to get from one to another maybe take out a turret and either rockets or sniper

    I just did a quick forge-through on the map, and Im sad to say that I was a bit disappointed with some of the design choices made as well as your weapon placement. I'll start with the biggest problem, which is the center line of the map. Within about 5 seconds, a player can have access to the Sniper, the Power Drain, and the Rocket Launcher, by walking in a straight line. If he continues through the teleporter, he then has access to the shotgun by still just continuing a few steps in the same line. These weapons NEED to be spread out around the map. I stress NEED. It wouldn't take much but a couple frags at the start of the match to erk out a couple quick kills then quickly set up with every power weapon on the map. Spreading these out would work wonders for this map. If it was me, I'd probably drop one of them alltogether, and itd probably be the rocket launcher. It doesnt suit the map's style to well (at least not as well as the others do). In a map that requires a pretty good amount of jumping to get where you want to go, the rockets instantly become overpowered in most situations as players have to concentrate on their movement rather than their opponent. If you did want to keep the rockets, here's what I'd do:

    move rockets to where the sniper is
    move the sniper to the window panel room
    move the shotgun to either under the stair-bridge or on top of it (under is probably best).
    move power drain to..um.. yeh Id get rid of it too.

    But like I said, I'd be pretty tempted to lose the rockets alltogether. That way, you could keep the rest of the weapon layout pretty consistent with the way you have it now (except id still delete the power drain)

    bottom line is, these weapons are far too close to one another, and the map would flow much better and be less restrictive with some separation in between them.

    One other thing I would try and focus on in the future, or in the next version should you decide to make one, would be to make use of more ramps and less double-jumps. Its a hard task, but it will streamline gameplay and make the map flow much quicker and overall offer a much more enjoyable experience.

    The layout is nice, I like it. And with some tweaks to weapons and some other stuff, this could make out to a real nice map.

    cheers
