    I. Introduction
    I orginally made this map a couple months after Foundry had come out. I had just learned how to merge and this was the first map I had made with merging in it. People I showed it to liked it, but it just wasn't the best it could be. I have since gone back and revamped the map to make it a lot nicer. I guess this should technically be V2, but since I never posted the first, I'll just call this the original.


    II. Map Description
    Dreadnaut is a small symmetrical map that has been set up for all gametypes ,but was meant for Free For All games or 2v2 team games. The recommended amount of players for this is 2-6 players. There is alot of interlocking and some geo-merging to get the map just right. There are three different levels in this map. It would probably be better to just look at the pictures to get a better idea.


    Weapon Layout
    BRs 4 30 sec.
    ARs 2 30 sec.
    Spikers 6 30 sec.
    Sword 1 60 sec.
    Needlers 2 30 sec.
    Carbines 2 30 sec.
    Plasma Rifles 2 30 sec.
    SMGs 4 30 sec.
    Rockets 1 90 sec.
    Grenades 8 10 sec.
    Plasma Grenades 6 10 sec.
    Regenerator 1 60 sec.
    Power Drain 1 60 sec.​

    IV. Download
    This is one of the most important parts so I figured it would get its own section. Thanks in advance for trying out this map. If you do download it, please leave some feedback. ​

    That sword seems pretty important. It has its own room! Great interlocking in the sword room too btw. Also, I can't believe how alike room A and B are! Amazing job there. 4.5/5 and you lost that .5 because there's a rocket on the map. I hate Rockets :l. Good Map.

    If I ever do a V2 then I will probably do that.

    The rockets only have two shots and only respawns every 90 seconds. I wanted to make sure that it wasn't too over powered.

    This map seems very reminiscent of Midship. The map looks great, I'll have to check it out in person to see how it plays. It might be better if the lowest portion of the map didn't exist, but we'll see.

    I have just updated the map and have flipped the bridges around along with changing two walls that for some reason didn't spawn before. Thanks for the suggestion.

    I guess I see what you are talking about, but don't worry, as long as you can get up and down them smoothly that's all that matters right?
