BEA⋅CON [Bee-kuhn] –noun 1. a guiding or warning signal, as a light or fire, esp. one in an elevated position. This map was geared to be mostly asethetic but gameplay turned out to be stupid good fun. The game type included the following changes from normal slayer; -No motion trackers -Pistol and Sniper -No grenades -No time limit Believe it or not it supports up to 16 but 4v4 should pretty much be the maximum amount of players. If you're looking for chaos 8v8 can always be fun!

Great job on this map. Very creative. The forging is pretty good; nice work. I'm looking forward to using your gameptype and playing on the map with the rest of my friends.
WOLOLOLOL WIN. Nice map dude. Win on location, but im not so sure about gameplay. For one i see shield doors. I dont leik shield doors. But i doo like the lifts and how you actually used the tower as a lift. epic win sir and a dl
Awesauce, on maps like these, the guardians are unblocked, but don't shoot you in the playable area of the map. Correct me if I'm wrong, but once you drop down, the guardians will rain down golden pain on your face. Anyway, I'll give this map a DL, since I always liek these sort of maps.
Really unique concept: I never would've thought to integrate the Guardian tower as part of the map aesthetics! Genius. However, would the bright lights affect gameplay? I don't really venture near the towers that much, but it seems like in some of the pictures you posted, the light seems really bright.
cant you fall off of the map? and since the guardians are blocked wont you be stuck down there forever? EDIT: oops sorry for the double post, could an administrator please delete the 2nd post? thanks
@the people saying u can just drop down onto the dunes and not die; I believe he/she has not blocked the other guardians so although the one the map has been created next to probably wont be effective at killing you, it is the guardian opposite you that fires at you anyway. On the other hand, the guardians rarely have a good shot when you are dropping down, and do not usually kill you until you hit the bottom. Therefore if you know you are about to be killed you could just jump off the edge and wait to land at the bottom, by which time your health will have recharged and the guardians will be the ones to kill you. About the map itself it looks like it could be great fun and is rather unique.. I'll give it a download and have a couple of matches.. I'm just wondering though, is the only way to go up the floors via the grav lifts? And by the way, it loooks like one beasty guardian from the outside
Haha, nice. Did you get the idea to build this up there from my Acrophobia map by any chance? And I must say that yours is more well done and cleaner than mine, I will download, Even though it's designed as an Aesthetic map. 4.5/5 overall. And how much of this is Ghost Merged if at all?
The guardians will kill you if you fall off. No the huge light (unless stared directly into) does not affect the lighting of the map itself. Now i havn't played this map but i have played oh 3 other ones based around a guardian tower and the light never really affected anything. And unless the guardians are blocked they will shot you once you fall below a certain level.
Replies to map concerns REPLIES! Yes you can just jump off it, but here is no benefit to it, because you can't kill people from the bottom, and I'll experiment with unblocking the towers, I had them blocked so I could forge out there, but I figured if I unblocked them the tower this is build on would just shoot you or otherwise it would be an annoying sound it trying to shoot you the whole time, also I don't think the drop down from the top level would be safe to use if the towers where firing lol. Also i was going to put a teleporter down there in the event you fell, but I ran out of budget
Nope! You've got a sweet map, but I didn't know about yours until just now, so don't worry about me have taken your idea or anything. I was hoping I was the first one to think of this! lol
Awesome! It looks kinda like Construct. I like the location of it also. I'm too busy playing Mass Effect 2 (amazing game BTW) to download now. I'll try to remember too sometime though.
a death barrier i know because i played on "deviation" a racetrack in the same general area. you fall off and you die
Not so, Deviation is put i believe in the area between the skybubble and the main floor. This map is just outside of both of those in the dunes. So if you fall you just fall. Different locations of sub locations of the main floor and skybubble have different effects on game play. If the guardian towers are unblocked then i think you can play on the map fine but if you fall the towers will kill you.
Yes i have downloaded that map, when you fall off theres no way back up, i recomend putiing a telli down there so you can get back up. I love where you have built your structure even though it's pretty bumpy theres not much you can do about it. 3 levels on this map this map would be wiked if you had more cover cause it's just huge runways.
