    This map is is designed solely as a FFA map. I'd much rather test it a little before I release it, but I don't have that luxury as of right now. I am taking criticism and updating as needed, however there's not much that I can do about the camping.

    The map is based off of Ascension and has many tunnels to hide in. There is an outside tunnel that outlines the map. Camo spawns inside the tunnel and weapons spawn at each corner. There is a teleporter outside the map that teleports you back in if you get stuck outside.

    Description: Can you survive the harsh punishments of The Castle? 2-8 Players...

    Weapons:
    1 shotgun
    1 sniper
    1 mauler
    1 sentinel beam
    2 BRs
    1 carbine
    1 assault rifle
    1 needler
    2 SMG's
    2 spikers
    1 magnum
    2 Plasma Rifles
    2 Frags
    2 Plasmas
    1 Regnerater

    Features:
    FFA styled map
    1 Active Camo
    Many walkways and tunnels
    Tunnel that outlines map

    THAT DOESNT MATTER.
    Layout looks pretty good but fix the file share, you keep doing this. Before you post like 5 maps in half an hour, read the sticky on How To Post Your Map

    looks like you had a good idea but IMHO you might want to add more cover and straighten some of those walls. also you might want to interlock( not that its necessary in a map) to make it more smoother and look nicer. other than that good job. BTW please don't link to your file share

    I'm sorry, but you REALLY need to interlock. It looks like where stuff didn't fit, you just stacked it on top what is already there, and stuff is just kinda shoved where it doesn't fit, it looks horribly bumpy/sloppy. You probably have to jump over a lot of those floors. And the tunnel doesn't line up right, I see the side of boxes sticking out a little. Interlock =(.

    haha, thanks for the replies.
    No, it doesn't really get confusing, no there's not alot of camping, and yes it looks horrible.

    Is it still fun? Yes. Does the sloppiness effect you in game? No.

    Also, I fixed the FileShare link.
