Found Out is my second published map, and since I didn't want to do something done dozens of times already, I decided to get out of the Foundry and push my rapidly expanding limits(I'm still new at this) as a forger.

The idea for the map was to emulate the feel of Blackout and Guardian, with the separate distinct sections connected in the middle, but with plenty of ways to circle the map without crossing the center. I also wanted to play with jumps and verticality in general.

Unfortunately, when I began this map I was not aware of the way to get out of the map's invisible walls and create something truly suspended in space, like the recent Collision. I instead used the king of the hill trick to set up custom gametypes for Slayer FFA and Team Slayer, and dotted the floor directly below the structure with suicide teleporters to force yourself to die before losing too many points. It works, but it is very inelegant, and opens up to griefers that just want to drag out the time limit even if it means they lose. Play with people who actually want a decent game of slayer and it works great though.

Weapons include:
Several BRs/Carbines spread around
2 Spikers
2 SMGs
2 Plasma Pistols(placed separately)
2 Magnums
2 Maulers(again, separate)
1 Sword 180s
1 Sniper 150s
1 Brute Shot 60s
1 Shield Sucker 120s
1 Bubble Shield 60s
1 Regenerator 120s
1 Overshield 120s
1 Camo 120s
3 sets of Plasma Grenades
1 set of Frag Grenades

Now for the fun part:

Overview number 1. Carbine sniper and overshield visible, regenerator spawns behind that bridge I'm using as a wall in the foreground.

Overview number two, from the opposite corner. One mauler on midlevel to the right, top left platform houses the brute shot. Also visible are some of the shield doors I used to enable grenade bouncing and as cover. Also, yes that bridge is rightside up, but there's no bump.

Here's the carbine/plasma pistol "tower" with a mauler on the midlevel.

Brute Shot/Needler side. Brute shot is up top, needler is visible there. Camo is hard to see against Avalanche's background, but its there on the right.

Sniper Tower. The jump-up and the 2 ramps leading to it make it accessible, and the fusion coils further weaken the position so the sniper can't simply dominate.

Bottom mid, with the shield sucker and two ramps down to sword room visible. In the back you can see the exit of the sword lift, and the hole to drop down on sword room. Frag grenades spawn here to counter sword camping.

And the sword, with the sword lift in the background.

FFA SLAYER GAMETYPE
TEAM SLAYER GAMETYPE

Edit: It occured to me that I didn't explain the gametypes at all; FFA is 4 points per kill, -1 point per sec outside the hill, first to 100 wins. Essentially its a 25 kill game like normal ffa slayer. Team slayer is 5 points per kill first to 250, pretty much a first to 50 game. Players outside the hill do no damage, take extra damage, have no shields, and have a waypoint on their heads, but they can move extra fast to help them get to the suicide teleporter. Also, they're pink.
