    Float Base

    This map is made for Capture the flag or Team Slayer. Red and blue teams only. Flags spawn at the floating bases at either end of the map. Teleports from said bases lead to similar locations on the sides of the map to the Blood Gulch remake, where there are mongooses to help you move around the level.

    Ditto for underneath of each floating base, along with 1 revenant each.

    The center of the map houses all of the power weapons, a falcon, and a mounted (destructable) turret. The only entrance to the center floating structure is a grav lift located underneath of it at the center.

    Plasma launchers and grenade launchers are located by 2 struts and blocks poking out of the surface of the terrain halfway to the center structure.

    Midway out from either base on opposite sides are two bunkers housing ghosts, which also have spawns near them. The general idea is that you use the vehicles to move around the bottom of the map, while the combat takes place in the air above. The power weapons are to take out said vehicles and the falcon.

    To access the floating bases there are three man cannons at the rear and either side of them. Exiting the bases is done through the teleporter or two safe drop points located at the rear of the floating bases.

    That's pretty much the map, it's based off of a Tribes 2 custom map I immensely enjoyed playing on back in the day, with heavy modifications to make it work in the forge world.

    Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

    Top Down of the red Float Base (Note the teleporter, mounted machine gun, drop down chutes, sniper tower, flag stand, and there IS a sniper rifle in that tower. Also a ghost on the base, in case the flag carrier jumps down a chute into a mongoose/revvy/falcon)

    EDIT: There are also mongooses in either side base, and the teleporters exit under cover on the top tier of the side bases. Medium range and long range weapons in either side tower, and in the main structure, bunkers, etc. Anywhere it's forged, chances are you'll find a weapon. This was done to focus people into the cannons and onto the top (and most fun) parts of the map. Please test and enjoy, this map took ages!

    Added after 2 minutes:

    I have added 8 new images of the key points of this map to better illustrate how it functions, hopefully this will make the description easier to understand.
