    Ensnare

    Buried far below the wind swept dunes of Sandbox you will find a
    multi level arena that has tight quarters and narrow hallways that you must manuver to win. Ensnare features two bases divided by a two story center where intense close quarter battles will take place. To move between the two levels, both bases feature mancannons which will launch you to the top level, while the bottom floor features two teleporters which will take you to the top.

    Weapons
    4 x Battle Rifles, 2 spawn lower level, 2 spawn upper level
    4 x Carbines, 2 spawn lower level, 2 spawn upper level
    2 x Maulers, Both spawn middle map lower level, give both teams a chance to get one
    8 x Plasma Grenades, 4 lower level, 4 upper level
    2 x Spike Grenades, Both spawn lower level, next to Maulers

    wow, 2 levels, seems like a maze with a overall unique map layout, i dunno, it may even be a little fun with conquest. so in the first pic, you just deleted the roof off of the lower area? looks great and uses a lot of the crypts space.

    will dl out of curiousity 4.25/5

    woot, first post

    Amazing Idea, like the map you have there and the successful attempt you made with making a maze in a map that doesn't play Infection but competitive gametypes. I was always wanting to do that but I'm too lazy.

    This looks great! I like the maze area underneath. That's pretty sweet. It looks like this would be so much fun to play capture the flag or assault on. If I had the new maps I would definitely download. Good work.

    Hey man I new to forgehub but this map looks amazing. The two levels are awesome and the teleporters and mancannons look like they give good movement around the map. Can't wait to download and try it out. I will get back to you when I have tested it. Keep the maps coming.

    Looks really nice, i like the 2 levels. My only complaint is it looks to much like a maze map and for competitive maps that can be alittle annoying. But other than that it looks awsome. Howd you use that much stuff to didnt you get stoped by the item limit? anyway looks nice 4/5

    Hey Gamefreak, thanks for your comment. I did try to make it sort of like a maze, but the map is easy to manuver and it is fun. Also the item limit was hard to stay under, there were additional structures for aesthetics initially but they had to be taken out so that I could finish the map. If you want to change anything there is like 10 dollars left to work with, the item limit has not been reached however I fear it is close. I used a canvas with everything moved down to the crypt and then deleted what I didn't need for money.

    I like how this reminds me of pac man. I also like how you made it with two levels, it gives it larger feeling. The first and second level look almost the same. Nice job.

    The maze aspect of the map completely fails. I found that you are basically able to just hold forward and navigate directly through the maze in a straight line, right to the other base. Kinda ruins the point of a maze if you cant even get lost or even slightly confused in it. I felt like because of this, gameplay would be lacking in other areas.

    Think about the paths that players will take to navigate the map.

    Hey Titmar if you have read Phoenix619's post then you would realize that the map is not suppose to be a maze, it is suppose to have a maze like feel but be easy to manuver. So read before you post a negative comment about a map next time.

    Hey guys, yeh the map is not suppose to be a maze. The middle is suppose to become more complex while the outside of the map is more simple. Hope everyone likes the map.

    I love this map, it is amazing how you made the map two floors. CTF and Slayer are amazing on this map, also this map is perfect for big teams to play on. The map flows well. Great forging, can't wait to see more of your maps.
