"This fission reactor from the early 21st century once harnessed the power of Actinium 227."

​

This is my first map on Sandbox, and hopefully not my last. From the point of conception, this map has been built with small teams in mind (the map is probably a little bigger than Guardian). The map has one base, which is blue base, a red outpost, and a white neutral area.

Back-story

I began building this map in March, when I received a code for the Mythic Map Pack from a friend. I completed what I thought to be the final version the same day, with a 20 hour forging session (I may have been a little excited to get the maps =P). However, after some testing I quickly realized that I could not release it yet. A team doubles game was played and there were over 20 suicides resulting from people falling off the edge of the map. I clearly needed many more rails. I added some rails and played with the spawns a bit and put it up for testing again. This time there were not nearly as many suicides, but the spawning was not how I wanted it. With the final forging session I changed many architectural aspects and the spawns were finalized. A final test proved what I believed to be my final, releasable version of Actinide.

Overview

This map is asymmetric, with the weapons being fairly symmetric (I say fairly because obviously the can’t be completely…). The defenders base (blue) has three entrances. The red outpost really doesn’t have any entrances per say (the screenshots will show what it looks like). The white neutral area, and the middle are very contested areas as the rockets spawn in the middle, and an overshield spawns in the white area. Active camo spawns across the map on the blue elbow. There are two snipers on the map, one spawns in blue lobby, and the other spawns at the side of the red outpost. Below is a complete equipment and weapon guide.
