    Obelisk

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This once long-lost temple was used by an ancient unknown race to
    sacrifice the dead of their enemies after wars. Now this bloody altar is
    home to one of the worlds greatest battlegrounds, in honor of the
    forementioned unknown tribe, for absolutely no reason.

    Now that the pointless story is over I can go over the more important
    details.​

    This map is suitable for Slayer, Team slayer, CTF, Assault, KOTH,
    Territories, Oddball, and Infection. Games like VIP and Juggernaut work,
    but only the standard versions. Things like Escort that involve locations
    will not work...​

    Weapons
    4 BRs
    4 Carbines
    2 Shotguns
    2 Spikers
    2 Plasma Rifles
    1 Spartan Laser
    2 Snipers
    2 Needlers
    8 Assault rifles​

    Equipment
    8 Frags
    10 Plasmas
    8 Spikes
    2 Regenerators
    2 Bubble Shields
    2 Deployable Covers​

    Bases
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Each base is Exactly the same. Objectives spawn in the Brightly colored
    Pits, along with a sniper. Each base has 2 carbines, 2 BRs, 2 Spikes, 2
    Assault rifles, and 4 Plasmas.​

    Sides
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Both sides are exactly the same, obviously. The pipes have a needler,
    one plasma, and a deployable cover each. The bunker has a Shotgun on
    the inside, and on top of the pipe are 2 frags and 2 spare Assault rifles on
    each side of the wall. You can clearly see the rest.​

    The Center Structure
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Yes, I know the first picture is the same as the top photo,
    but I'd rather you see it easier here than having to scroll all the way up.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

    This is where you will be doing most of your battles. The hole in the
    center of the structure drops you down to the laser spawn. There are,
    clearly, many ways to get up on top, but there isn't much cover on the
    way. The middle is the fastest way to the enemy base, but the lack of
    protection makes it a fierce battle the whole way.​


    Power Weapons

    Laser
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [​IMG]
    The laser spawns in the very middle under the main structure.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Shotgun

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [​IMG]
    Although the shotgun spawns in a small bunker, it is hard to camp, for
    there are 4 holes to shoot into, and only 2 exits for said campers. The
    hole on top can be used to assasinate/stick the camper. Besides, they
    only get 6 shots.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I don't consider the sniper as a power weapon since each base gets one.
    The snipers have low ammo to reduce spawn-killing, for it is typically unavoidable. ​

    Closing
    I am proud to say that this is my first map submitted to forgehub, and as
    of this submission date it is my best. I have no current Action Shots for
    this map, but I will add some when I get some. You can help, by sending
    me videos of your games on this map. I will take photos and add them.
    Let me know if you want me to display your names.

    The interlocking is kind of hard to see, but here they are:
    The center structure's top arches are fused with a tall block.
    The 2 huge blocks in each corner are fused with a tall block.
    The large corners are merged slightly into the 2 wedges they touch.
    The 4 small corners are merged with the wedge corners that pop out of the top of them.
