    MapDescription
    Attrition is a two base symmetrical level in the sky bubble of Sandbox. It has 2 open bases connected by a bridge with 3 different paths that can be taken to reach the other side. The first path is the straight line across the top of the bridge, this is the fastest path and has cover against other players on the same level, but you are open to snipers, the second path is below the first one, it’s a straight line with only one point for cover half way across, the advantage of this path is you are mostly out of sight of the snipers, and finally the path ether on the left or right which leads to a tube that drops you down on top of the base. Both sides also have a very tall sniper tower that can cover the whole top half of the map. There are really only 3 ways to kill the sniper, ether be in the other sniper tower and take him out from there, just go up after him, or throw a grenade up (there are 2 fusion coils that would blow up and kill the sniper)

    This map works with all Gametypes from Juggernaut to VIP, but the best game to play on it is Capture the flag or team slayer. The map is perfectly symmetrical in both level design and weapons (well, mostly, one side has a shotgun while the other has 2 maulers)
    I got some influence from Narrows. But mostly it’s a new map. The main feature on my map is the sniper towers, I find most maps don’t have them and I love using a sniper so I put them in. They are powerful and give the sniper a great advantage but they are not unstoppable.

    Wow... This looks amazing! I watched your video, I like the lower level that goes under most of the base. I usually don't download competitive maps but this one looks way to awesome to skip. 5/5 because of the awesome forging, great ideas, etc.
    I bet this map makes for some great sniper wars :)

    Very awesome map. Looks like it will be one of my favorites, I love the tube ideas. The only thing I see that is flawed with your map is, that the Sniper Tower looks too strong. Like if you have the sniper, and your in the sniper tower, you can just stand over the teleporter and snipe. And it looks like it will be hard to shoot the fusion coils on the tower as well.

    But other than that, a fantastical map. 5/5

    No, don't worry about that, I thought of that, the walls are just high enough that you need to be touching them to look over the side, you stand back and all you would see is the other tower. Also, the fusion coils in back make it you don't need to go up. It may look hard because its so high but you can get a granade up there and set them off, I've done it a few times myself.

    Also, I wouldn't need those if they didn't take telefrag out. I don't see why, the whole reason was so people don't be cheap and stand on them.

    To be honest i really like this map. The sniper towers look great and the gameplay seems like it would run smoothly i will dl and try it out. It reminds me of narrows only with snipertowers that are actually towers very good 5/5 from me keep on forging.

    Grr, my complaint is that Its a one way teleporter so if someone goes to assasinate the sniper he cant get back to the base to help his team, or if the sniper runs of ammo is he stuck there to die or not be a help?
