    Benchmark is a symmetrical map which is based on the main level of Sandbox. The central layout of the map is based around the central layout of The Pit with changes made to suit vehicular gameplay. The map itself lends itself to some great battles with just the right balance of vehicle and infantry based gameplay. This map confortably supports all standard gametypes with 6 - 12 players.

    Recommended gametype:

    Neutral Assault on Benchmark (4 vs 4)

    2 x Machine Gun Turret
    2 x Missile Pod
    6 x Battle Rifle

    1 x Sword
    2 x Shotgun
    2 x Needler
    4 x SMG
    4 x Spiker
    2 x Plasma Pistol

    Equipment Loadout:

    Great map mini waz. I have to say that i really like the layout of this map along with the forging, which by the way is great. Gameplay looks fun on the map, i`ll really have to make room to test this out.

    Yes this map looks very good and you have some very smooth interlocking along with great geomerging. The map is also filled up nicely and has a good amount of objects in a pretty even flow. The gameplay looks good, I will subscribe to this thread to later give you my download.

    Great map, i like the middle, it's pretty original. Everything seems pretty balanced, and the video is nice, too. :p

    5/5

    This thread alone makes the map worth a download, lol. The video makes the map look amazing, you should try and get this into matchmaking, its brilliant. This definately should be on forge hub favourites because of its mixed gameplay, original layout, great weapon balance, neatness and a great mix of vehicle and on foot gameplay. Definate 10/10, well done, awesome map. This is a Benchmark in forging standards, :)

    Looks like a very solid map that supports any kind of team game, great layout and sound forging. I'd love to play it but don't have enough available friends at the mo.

    I'm looking forward to playing Borderline on the 7th, congrats for getting that accepted.
