    Gridlocked
    Created by Draw the Line

    Gridlocked derives from a simple concept, double boxes stacked vertically throughout the entire map creating a grid-like system of pathways. Don't let this basic concept fool you, as this is a very complex map. Certain sections of the map are blocked off and force players to move in a "U" like direction to get from base to base. The map's design allows for a wonderful mix of long and short ranged combat, so if you prefer one or the other don't worry, you're covered.

    Sniper Rifles are located at the far corners of each map on elevated platforms. These rifles really help control the outer part of the map, but are still limited by the sharp corners the map provides. In the center of the map there is a long narrow hallway that can only be accessed from one direction. At the end of that hallway is a Spartan Laser and a bubble shield. At the back of the map, there is a single hammer located on the ground. The hammer may be useless when attacking down a long narrow hallway, but it is incredibly good at killing enemies around a corner. Each base holds a Gauss Warthog and a gun turret. Both are generally used for defensive purposes, but the Gauss can be used for a quick attack on an unsuspecting team.

    Wow. I've already queued it up for download. This is like a work of art. Good job on the feature. BTW: I love all the geo-merging. I'm glad you took the time to do that.

    Gridlock is back and better than ever! congrats DTL, you've definitely earned this one. the map is simple, yet one of the best maps you'll ever play... and it definitely has it's unique gameplay. Gridlocked and End of the Line will stay on my HD, forever. thanks for making awesome maps DTL!

    BTW: does this make ou Premium instead of Loyal?
