MAJOR CHANGES ARE COMING IN RESPONSE TO FEEDBACK FROM TESTS. Disagreements about the purpose of this floating structure can become . . . heated. For my first Reach map, I'm pretty pleased with the way this turned out. But now I'm rambling. Built by the waterfalls, Pompatus is a small (15x12 grid squares) "MLG Style" symmetrical arena map with fast-paced firefights and a mix of medium and short range combat. In size, the map is similar to the open part of Foundry. It's pretty open for it's size, too, so if you don't want to get caught in a crossfire, it pays to keep moving. Recommended changes (not necessary, but I found that these work well) •Disable Jet-packs, due to the soft ceiling being higher on the red side •Change CTF score-to-win to 5 captures, due to the small size of the map •Assault Rifle starts ARE recommended, but DMR starts aren't terribly detrimental The drops are as follows: -2 DMRs -2 Sniper Rifles [1 extra clip] -1 Rocket Launcher [no extra ammo] -2 Plasma Pistols -2 Needle Rifles -2 Needlers -4 Plasma Grenades -4 Health Stations -1 Overshield Also, I've not tested the map and spawns thoroughly yet, so if you notice any problems, please let me know, and I'll do my best to fix them. Pictures are up-to-date. A view of the Red Base. Sniper tower at left, Plasma Pistol at Right. View from behind the Red Base. A view of the Middle Bridge, Blue Base and the Pillars, as seen from Red Plasma Pistol Spawn. A view of the Rocket spawn, from the Red side Sniper tower. View of Bottom Middle, with Rocket spawn at the far back, as seen from the Pillars. That's Pompatus! If you download it and find any problems [like if the spawns are janky, one area is dominant, screen lag, etc.] please come back and tell me about it, so I can make improvements to the map, and my overall skill with Forge. Thanks! Also, feel free to send me a FR if you want to help test. Version 1.4 is in the works. LIST OF CHANGES FOR VERSION 1.3: Objectives now work properly Swapped some pieces around (no big geometry changes) LIST OF CHANGES FOR VERSION 1.2: Removed Sword Moved Rockets to old Sword spawn Removed the Two columns in front of bases Moved Snipers a little bit Maybe some other stuff I forgot about Accidentally changed the color of one of the Red Team sails to White. >.< LIST OF CHANGES FOR VERSION 1.1: Removed Shotgun Reduced Ammo on Rockets Changed geometry of "Shotgun Building" Added lift to "Shotgun Building" Switched placement of Needler and Plasma Grenades Removed Frag Grenades and Magnums (may add back in later) Changed Active Camo to Overshield Moved Sniper Rifles to the top of sniper towers Moved Plasma Pistol to the Cover pieces in bases, near Sword spawn Moved DMR in each base to room opposite the sniper tower Lowered Bunker in front of each base Added Hard Kill Volumes to the top of Red Base to prevent abuse(Seriously, don't go up there, there's even one on top of the sniper tower and wall next to it) Removed Health Packs from tops of side bases Moved Health Pack in each base to in front of the Light Added Neutral Initial Spawns (4) Added Neutral Loadout Cameras Added Objectives (more to come, pending testing)
