    My first Forge creation is called Fun Cage. It's a terrible name, but it will get it's point across soon enough. This is what I would like to consider a Race/Mosh Pit hybrid. I'm not really one for making games that are of the norm, so I decided to experiment and go for two game types in one.

    The description assumes you use my Fun Cage game variant as well.

    At the start of the match, you all spawn next to a Mongoose with plasma pistol in hand. Your job is to race through the course, get to the Weapon Shack, and own the Fun Cage!
    Hop on the Mongoose, take a leisurely drive down a path and do a 180 toward a double ramp. At the top, a set of man cannons fling you into the second part of the race (hitting the back wall is intentional, makes it a bit crazier). Take that hallway you found and do another 180 to race under the ramps you just jumped, dubbed the Warehouse. Climb the stairs and make a very tricky jump onto the Fun Cage itself. Stay on the ledge of the cage, and make your way to the entrance of the Corefield. There, you'll hug the wall (or get blown to smithereens) and make your way to the Weapons Shack at the end of the course. Here you'll pick up a hammer, sword, and all four grenade types. Enter the teleporter in front of you to get to the Fun Cage.
    Inside the Fun Cage you have 300% movement speed and 50% gravity. You also have regenerating grenades to make sure you never run out. Make sure you stick to the bottom floor of the cage to earn your points. There are 5 entrances to the cage from the teleporter, one on each corner, and one from above.
    All deaths spawn you after the Corefield, so you don't lose much time getting back to the cage.

    It may not be the most artistic map yet, but I'm going for gameplay experimentation. Let me know what you think, critiques are welcome!

    This actually looks very well made. It doesn't sound like it's at all for the competitive type, but this would be perfect for those young'uns who are just out there to have a good time. My little brother (not that little, so no insult here) would love this map. I do hate it when people have lowgrav/high speed, though... I find it immensely boring. And I don't see what the point of it is in a cage where everybody already has swords and hammers. Nice map post overall, though. Keep being creative.
