    During a video i saw, I swear to god i saw two different Ghost spawns. It was during a Big Team Slayer game, so one MAY be set to symmetrical and one might be set to both. I may be wrong, but im pretty sure theres two ghosts on the map.

    The sniper spawns at the bottom hangar door under the sword. Overshield is on the ground level in the far back, near a tunnel. The camo/shotgun are in the under area, with all the dinghies under the dock area.

    Thats what i know so far.

    I don't get it, what are people confusing for a beam rifle?

    And if pallets can float in this map, I see a ton of potential for minigame maps.

    in the original pic, some people thought the sword was a beam rifle because it was far away

    The button you're probably thinking of is the switch to extend the bridge. I saw it in action on a full length video on gamevideos.com.

    Power weapons seem a little "off", y'know? The defensive side has direct access to sword and sniper, and the attacker side has a rocket launcher (in the freezer room). I assume the attacker side also has a sniper, though I may be wrong. Can't understand why there'd be a hammer, either. Seems like there's enough power weapons as it is, especially with the sword.

    seemed pretty balanced and thought out to me. Headlong had like 9090 power weapons everywhere and it played amazingly.

    This map seems like it has a plethera, of weapons on it. It may be thought out well, but still seems a little chaotic to the ears.

    Are you sure that there is a beam rifle? The entire argument about if the weapon is a sword or beam rifle- the gameplay video showed it was a sword. So doesnt that mean that there is no beam rifle now?

    if there is both- where is the beam rifle?

    At 56 seconds in the vid youll see the beam rifle shot, now the question is: Where is the beam rifle?
