    This is a somewhat small but complicated symmetrical map designed with Team Slayer and Capture the Flag in mind, but Infection, Oddball and King of the Hill also work well on it. Each side has grenades, ARs, BRs, a Carbine, a Sniper, etc. One side has dual SMGs, the other has Spikers. There is one of each of the following on the map: Spartan Laser, Brute Shot, Energy Sword, Flare, and Bubble Shield. (These are all positioned so each team has an equal opportunity to get them.) Near each Sniper spawn is a small lookout tower with a parapet; these make for excellent vantage points, but can be shot at from several places. From the Sword spawn there is a bridge that takes you to a grav lift that puts you at the Flare and Spartan Laser spawns, from which you can see much of the map but have no cover. The Brute Shot is directly below the Laser, tucked in a little cranny on the bottom level.

    SCREENSHOTS:

    Here you can see a lot of the map layout. The biggest missing feature here is the structure where the Spartan Laser is, which would be to the left of of this image. The three shield wall thingys function to make the map just that much more tactical. Below the shield wall that is farthest to the right is the Sword (at the far end of the bridge where the grav-lift is). Directly below the Sword, at ground level, is the Bubble Shield.

    This is a similar view to that of the first screenshot, but from the opposite side, and the Laser/Flare area is visible on the right side.

    The bridge that's tilted at about a 45 degree angle is a ramp that leads straight up to theSniper spawn. The Open Double Box on the right side is home to dual Spikers on one side and dual SMGs on the other. Everything here is identically duplicated on the other side.

    [​IMG]
    This is a view from the Sword spawn (The Sword is directly under the field of view. You'll just have to trust me on this one.) looking towards the Laser/Flare structure. To get from the Sword to the Laser (not a recommended weapon combo, by the way), just use the grav-lift.

    [​IMG]
    This is the view from one of the lookout towers, looking straight out at the other one. The barriers on each one are tall enough to hide behind, but they provide your only defense apart from the mad sniping skills you either have or wish you had. You can see where the Sniper spawns in the top left region of the image; it spawns in the corresponding spot on the near side that is out of view.

    well its a good layout but what you need to learn to do is interlock, all maps are better with more interlocking

    Is that all you have to say about every god damn map on Forgehub? "Oh, it's alright, but it should have more interlocking and geo-merging..."

    Anyway, this map ALMOST reaches Forgehub's standards for posting a map, but you HAVE TO embed your pictures, not simply just place a link to the screenshot.

    Aside from all that, looks interesting enough, I'll try it out when I get off the computer....*downloads*

    this map looks a wee bit sloppy considers that i only had the patients to look at one picture since it's not up to standards (please embed your pictures by downloading them and uploading them onto photobucket or imageshack) and i didn't c ne interlocking. and those bridges seem useless in some parts

    EDIT: unless u r going to provide him with a link about his pictures, anyone else who comments about them is considered spam

    EDIT 2: i deserve good rep for this

    i went ahead and did all the pics for u except 2 cuz they didn't show ur map that very well

    I am far too lazy to click. Make sure to thank Jasonyo for the pics! I do however agree with that one guy at the top, this map screams, "Interlock me!"

    4/5 because you are new =D

    Thanks for all the feedback, especially Jasonyo for the pics. This was my first serious attempt at making a map, so I know it isn't perfect. Happy forging!
