    looks really cool. I also had an idea with kill ball, but it was more centered on that idea of killballs. I'm sorry though, you have way to many things on the map, might want to take out the teleporters(lasers) because 1. too much stuff 2. that would be so annoying and takes some competitiveness out of the map. It also would kill all those people who play on the map, and havent read the post. at least a moving killball is self-explanatory. nice map. good pics.

    you also might want to think about changing the lighting. it really takes away from the map. and in the picture you show your air vent. the struts are different colored. thats a no-no. gotta keep consistency. thats what i meant about the lighting the lights are fine. but the sword is a waste of money. well, it just doesnt fit in. just leave the glass so you can see through. and take out the vent. please. Jet packing only areas are stupid, and makes this a casual map, not competitive. and I think the map would be neater if you took out some of the unnecesary street cones.

    actually, theres just way to much clutter. See those objective markers in the picture next to the health pack? thats unneeded. and it doesnt fit in. Yeah it sounds like i hate this map, doesn't it? I don't. This map is awesome, and im just trying to help.

    Very nice.

    I'd encourge anyone to download this, if not to play, than at least to view the beautifully crafted aesthetic electronic feel.

    This map actually makes you feel as if you're playing inside of an electrical appliance, seriously. The symmetricality of it flows nicely with stockpile, but it looks like it would work fluidly with MLG as well. The assorted hazards, however, may be an issue with some of the more competitive players, but overall, they do add a nice aesthetic syndicate to the layout. The shotgun hall was a bit adventurous, seeing as one-way choke point funnels aren't currently used that often, but it seems to function without too much error.

    Firedrone, I do agree with you on the vent, but the sword is his signature touch. And besides, it really fits the electric theme well, eh?

    I'm just starting to get the strangest feeling that I'm that armor lock guy...

    I updated Power Surge to accommodate the 2v2 throwdown
    longer spawn time for rockets and shotgun.
    Removed Jet pack tunnel (sad face).
    Removed kill zones for the lazer beams, now they're just for looks.
    Added Aesthetic's.
    Plus minor tweaks.
