Weapons on map:

1 Sniper rifle
1 Shotgun
2 SMG's
4 Plasma grenades
4 Frag grenades
8 Battle Rifles

NOTE: when playing oddball, the shotgun will disappear, this is because i find it far too powerful for a team to have both the ball and the shotgun, when the ball has similar characteristics to the shotgun anyway.

Introduction:

Welcome to Firing Lane, my 3rd released map. This map has taken quite a while to perfect. 90% of the entire map is Interlocked. The map is also, around 90% Symmetrical, because the shape of Foundry forced me to make a few changes to one side. I have played many test matches, and i think it plays very well. I believe this map supports any amount of small players, from 1v1 to 4v4, although i recommend not going past that.

NOTE: It is clearly possible, as you might have noticed from the pictures, for a player to 'frag jump' out of the map. I decided to allow this, because i dont have enough items left to block off all the areas off, and if i did, it would ruin the look of the map. But to be honest, if a player is sad enough to try get out of the map, they arnt worth playing against. It also gains no advantage, there is no cover, nowhere to hide. To get back in they can just go through a teleporter, which will drop them in the middle of the map.

Description:

This map is basicly 1 big room (the top 4 pics) with a raised level going around the outside. There is more cover around the outside, with the risk of bieng fragged easily. There are 2 sets of staircases, on opposite sides of the map, each takes you down to the lower level, which is a large 'ring shape' corridor, which goes all around the map until joining back up with itself. This corridor is very tight, and acts as a seperate way around for the sneaky players, there is plenty of cover, but also plenty of ways to bounce grenades around onto your enemies. There is a clear balance of skill and tactics, so the better player will not necassarily win, especially if he doesnt think before he acts.
