Description

OK so I've been gone for a really long time from Forge Hub. Within the next few weeks I will be releasing some maps to make up for my absense. Here's the first of many.

As I used to I always started with a little bit of map history and how it came to pass. So this map was made to take advantage of a new standard gametype, Squads. Squads came to pass when good old rusty eagle was applying for guilder and needed a map idea. SO I was like you need to do something VIP. SO we came up with Commander... it didn't work to well on Standoff. Basically your commander was the focus of everything, picking up weapons, regenerating shields, etc. And he had to stay at your base so he was very slow and he stayed back with a sniper rifle and gave out orders to everyone. The commander basically got bored every game. So instead of having the commander stay back he traveled with you as a squad leader. That worked so much better. Now on to the gametype details.

Squads is focused on keeping players together and communitcating. When you are away from your squad leader you do not regenerate shields, you run faster (so you can get to your squad leader), you have less damage resistance, and you can't pick up weapons. When you are next to your squad leader you gain a team waypoint, can pick up weapons, gain more resistance, regenerate shields, and gain better radar. When you are away from your squad leader you don't have a waypoint on your head so it is your job to find your squad leader. Also VIPs are worth 2 points and everyone else is worth 1. Respawn timer is set to 15 secs. And score is to 25. Maximum number of teams is 8.

As for the map it was made specially for squads. Squads can technically be played on any map, but being flanked from ALL sides was frustrating. So we made a map where you can only be flanked on two sides. Many objects are available for cover, making it ideal for games like SWAT. There are only starting spawns for Slayer and VIP cuz we hit the item limit. Throughout the match more advanced weapons spawn from plasma rifles to sniper rifles. Other than that the map is just a standard oval map with cover. No interlocking, and no geo-merging here folks. Just good ol' object placement.

As for future additions for Squads maps... I suggest hallway based maps where you can only be flanked by a contolled amount of sides. Being assassinated in Squads is the only slightly annoying thing. Anyways, that should be enough description for yall for now. If you want an example of gameplay or if you want a tutorial on the rules for squads check the youtube video links by Asper.

Enjoy!
