    Dead Halls is a mix of different halls and rooms that
    connect in different ways to form an area that flows
    with the player as one, and a team as a whole.
    The aesthetics and architecture resemble the look and
    feel of a pharaoh's tomb, or better yet, his dungeon.

    I worked on this map with xJFISCH25x for some time,
    he helped me with architectural design and weapon placement, so I give him credit for that.

    This map is recommended for 4-8 players.

    Supported Gametypes:
    Capture The Flag
    Team Slayer
    Team Oddball
    Territories
    Assault


    Strategy is vital here when doing objective gametypes.

    The Overview below will explain everything, and show you the
    routes each team can take to navigate through the map.

    NOTE: I took off all the ceilings for a cutaway view.
    White dotted lines are edges that are not
    visible from this perspective.

    Wow, i saw this this in testing, it looks very good, but it seems even better now. The layout and design you have here looks very nice and i cant wait to try it. Also the map seems like it would play quite well on infection. Either way 5/5

    This is a cool concept for a map, it's great how the map gives that "tomb" feeling. Some very nice doorways too.

    Actually reminds me of the ruined forts in Oblivion for some reason :)
