    [FONT=&quot]“High in its perch the raven gains the advantage over its prey. Be sure that you are the one with the advantage.”[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Raven is a symmetrical team based map focusing on map control and tactics to outplay you’re opponent. Early control of the top area is a must as you can see a lot of the map from there and with the sniper and camo both situated at the top its quite easy to gain an early advantage. [/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]However not all is lost for the players that were not lucky enough to take hold of the top. The rocket launcher situated at the back of the map will be an easy weapon to acquire with the enemy stationed up the top. With the lack of cover the top area provides a few rockets will either send them to the respawn screen or send them running from their perch.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]The sword placed at the bottom in the middle can prove helpful as well. It may seem unfair to put sword, sniper and camo in the same area but it is quite balanced. Both teams will usually go to the top and attempt to acquire both camo and sniper, if one team acquires both than they have to make the decision weather to drop down for the sword or stay up the top, if they drop down for the sword their in a dangerous position, the person with the sword is right in the middle of an open area and since the enemy probably has the rockets the guy with the sword is likely to get a rocket fired at him. Of course he could get away but then his teammate is probably going to get double teamed.[/FONT]

    Sweet you finally posted it.
    It is a very nice, symmetrical map.
    I found this map to be very suited for 2v2.
    But sometimes I found that whoever controlled the top area controlled the game.

    yeah, but with a little teamwork and smart thinking (in other words get weapons instead of running in with your assualt rifle) its fairly easy to take the top back :)

    Looks awesome! I like the interlocking you used, it came out really well. From the screenshots, I don't see a way up to the second floor? Would be a little useless to a have a platform which no one can get up to. I cant DL, my custom items is 100 strong. It looks really good though!

    In those two pictures you can see a gravity lift (overview, left side of pic) and a crate (bottom middle sword spawn pic) they get you on the 3rd floor

    Glad you like it!

    because the map is focused on the top area I wanted to use a bird for the name because your looking down on your enemy from a high point and I like the word Raven :)

    Looks like a very nice symetrical map! I like the catwalk leading to the invisability. Good work! A DL from me

    This map looks very well made and looks like it could be awesome for FFA. If you have a V2, then you should make a ramp leading up to the higher floors or something, just to make an obvious way up. Then, people would watch the ramp, not the lift or crate, and, die. Lol.

    It's still a great map and looks like it makes for interesting gameplay.

    Map: 4/5

    Seems good, although a bit too simple, but I'll never judge a map until you played it!

    5/5
