    All standard Gametypes are supported, but I don't know about your wacky infection variant that is made for a different minigame map :p.

    Map Description
    I was going for a feel of a city map. Of course this is very hard to achieve given the limitations of Foundry. I may not have achieved it (In my opinion), but this is really left for you guys to decide. I also got this as symetrical as I could, so bear with me.
    Now, for the layout of the map. There are two bases where they are in the default Foundry layout. In between them though, is vertically stacked up double boxes. This is where the multi-level action comes into play. Around a few select "buildings" are platforms with BR's facing the opposing team's platforms. On the closest platform to the base, however, is a grav-lift that takes you up to a sniper tower, which also looks down upon the opposing team's platforms. Both of the sniper towers cannot see eachother, but if you feel the need to, there is a second sniper tower that is not so obvious to get to, but it has the opposing sniper tower right in its sights.
    There is a ghost and a mongoose in each base, the only vehicles that I think would work on this map. There is also a trip mine and deployable cover near each base, but use them sparingly. There is a Spartan Laser on the very top level, which is also very hard to get to given the amount of traffic that level is given because of the snipers, so it balances it out. Along the back wall of Foundry, there is an elevated wall which has a brute shot on it (very effective if used the right way) and there is a usually passed up crack behind this pathway that has a shotgun in it. Teamwork is key in symetrical Gametypes because of the multi-level mayhem.

    hey congratz on your first map post it turned out preety well. now back to buisness i like the look of the map it seems interesting and original, i like that most of the game play is above ground and that you have included vehicles that would not control the game. but im kind of wondering is there any cover on these platforms. i think this layout would work very well in a asymetrical game too.

    P.S i would love to download this but i have the RRoD but i will defentialy download once i get my xbox back.

    Wow i like it a lot...ive been thinking about doing something kind of like that but u did better than i could of done. I do think that there should be some cover on the upper levels though, maybe some barriers on the edges or something. nice job i wish i could download but i cant link my gt to bungie.net

    i see u used perm. grav lifts. id say that grav lifts r better for people to pick up so the places rnt so obvious and that it takes some brain power to get up there and i think, they should only b used for remakes that have them like foundation

    Looks interesting, high ground looks to have a good advantage but being low looks like you can escape fire fast if needed, well if your not in a cross fire...

    This looks very fun. I think I will very much enjoy this map, I always like all maps related with urban settings. Good job, and I hope you make more urban related maps in the future.

    For your first post it is VERY well done! The map on the other hand is also very good.
