YOU ACED THE TEST
I have never made the map reveiwer that long but you needed it.

Damn this is kickass bro. I like how the conveyor belt moves but the flag doesn't. Depending on gameplay this could be feature worthy. A real well made map. Good job sir.

Your design is flawless. Weapons are placed perfectly. It is absolutely stunning aesthetically. You took the simple idea of a conveyor belt, built an incredible map around it, and then took it a step further by making it look comepletely awesome.
Props to you, amazing job. 5/5.

Story:
_______________

First, there was Convey. Then, there was Focus. Now, I bring you Focus v1.1!
This map is inspired by Pallet Parade by Cosmic Rick. In Convey I originally focused on the map's conveyor belt, then built around that. But then in Focus (renamed it, so actually Convey 1.1) I added some more objects, such as two geomerged moveable crates and the second floor lifts, which brought more cover and flow within the gameplay. And now in Focus v1.1 I've totally redesigned the spawn system edited a few of the game objects, and more.

I hope you like it!

Description:
________________________________

Focus v1.1 is a small map made for small team battles. It's core value is to keep the player's nerves at the ready from lots of intense action going on all around them, causing them to "focus".

Here's what the map includes:

Three levels, including a ground level, a middle level, and a third level.
A drop/lift area on each base for going from the ground level to the middle level
A side lift on each base for going from the middle level to the third level
A conveyor belt with an "ON" switch which makes the conveyor belt move. The conveyor belt has the width of a pallets length, which means it's wider than Pallet Parade, but not longer.
Symmetrical layout with nothing unsymmetrical besides the two Spikers (on the red side) and the two SMGs (on the yellow side)

Here's what I changed:

Changed the spawn system so that players spawn in their given starting area, yet respawn away from enemy players.
Added Bridges and Single Boxes to keep players from getting out of the map.
Replaced a Bubble Shield with the Deployable Cover (at the yellow base).
Replaced a Bubble Shield with the Trip Mine (at the red base).
Replaced a Regenerator with the Power Drain (on the middle floor near the conveyor belt).
Added a BR on each side.
Added four Barriers for cover (on the middle floor near the conveyor belt).
Took away the two Regenerators (on the Ground Floor).
Took away the two Wire Spools (on the Ground Floor).
Added two barriers (on the Ground Floor).
Changed some of the weapon respawn times.

Overview

Red Base

Yellow Base

Red Base Side

Floor Lift (to sniper rifle)

Fixed Wall and Added Bridge (can't get out now!)

(left) The Lift and (right) The Drop

The Ground Floor (added barrels & barriers, took out the wire spools)

Middle Area of The Ground Floor (with sword)

Epic Crate Interlox

Outside (takes up most of Foundry)

How The Conveyor Belt Works:

1. Grab the Overshield.

2. This causes the Fusion Coil to drop into the ManCannon, which shoots the Fusion Coil and makes it explode, which causes the Pallets to break apart.

3. The pallets respawn back here and are pushed forward by Gravity Lifts below the Bridge. The Gravity Lift above the Bridge is meant to push any layered pallets off.

4. The Pallets go through the small tunnel and keep going as long as the Overshield is gone. The Overshield respawns after 180 seconds.

I hope that helped.

BTW, the conveyor belt works best when played in Custom Games.
