    "The ground below trembles from the raging battle for the ultimate prize."

    Supported Gametypes: Slayer, Capture the Flag, Assault
    Recommended Gametypes: Team BR's, Multi-Flag BR's, Neutral Assault BR's
    Recommended Players: 10-12

    Sassafras is like no other map you have seen before.
    The multiple levels of play coupled with
    the presence of two banshees and two choppers give a playstyle
    seen no where else, on any other map.
    The presence numerous vantage points from which opponents
    can slaughter you keep you on your toes for the entire game.
    And it's all shoved into the Crypt of Sandbox.

    Consider it an early Christmas present.
    This... this is Sassafras.

    Very nice map, i have been waiting for the release of this for a while. I really love the look of every thing, but mainly the blue base. Usually having a banshe in a crypt map doesnt play well but its cool that you pulled it off, great job!

    This is incredible. The idea of vehicles in the crypt is a hard pill to swallow, but you seem to have pulled it off quite deftly. The aesthetics are also unique; nothing is just a simple block.

    By the way, nice name. You got my download just for that. lol.

    EDIT: I was surprised by the lack of grav-lifts, did you ever consider adding them?

    I've been waiting for this release for a while now. Using vehicles in the crypt is one of the harder things to do, let alone aircraft, but you seem to have pulled it off extremely well. You've earned my dl. Don't like the name though.

    Nice write up for this Ace. We poured so much effort into this map to make it what it is today. You're a fantastic forging partner and I'm glad you were totally down for the idea of shoving Banshee's in the crypt.

    Also, to make up for not writing up the post, I'll try to get a video of gameplay on this instead.

    /shitty review

    EDIT:

    You mean the **** I put on my ****ing fileshare to recommend to Ace so he can look over any changes I have made because we have conflicting schedules? Yeah. Quit stalking my ****ing file share and quit stalking my God damn recent screenshots. It's really getting on my ****ing nerves. No, you are getting on a lot of peoples nerves. I know that for a fact. Whatever 'version' you downloaded was incomplete and not test ready. This is the only first version and more than likely will be the final version of this map.

    Also, thanks for the positive feedback.

    Honestly, it didn't roll of the tongue as good as Sassafras. Plus, Infamous doesn't tickle your tongue the way Sassafras does.

    Saaaaassafras... Hm, sorry.
    Looks like a really cool map, especially with all of the unique, interesting concepts (which seem to have been praised highly, no less). Although I'm not really a Team Slayer guy, I've got a feeling this map may change my mind.

    Keep in mind that 5v5/6v6 Multi Flag BRs works the best on this map and I suggest judging gameplay based off of that over anything else.

    Thanks man. Also, because of you saying this, Ace owes me five bucks. :D

    Still hate the name =P

    Can I just say I love the way you have set out you're map post with the weapons graphics. As for the map I think that 2 banshees and 2 Choppers is a tad overpowered, but I've never played the map so what do I know.

    You released it. I love the map idea. Only thing that really pissed me off were the banshees but that's me. Easily a 4/5 only because the banshees just make me depressed and there hard to maneuver and overpowering. Great map regardless.

    WHAT! I am unaware of this. Do not like...

    Thanks for all of the feedback guys. Like Scobra said, the best gametype for the map is easily Multi-Flag BR's. And if you're complaining about the Banshee's maneuverability, keep in mind that that is why they work well. Normally in a ground level Sandbox map, the banshees rape repeatedly because there is usually not very much to counter them. In Sassafras, the limited amount of airspace for the banshees the maneuver makes them not so overpowering.
