IZ9 Courtyard

This is an updated version my map which was featured on the Bungie vs The World playlist on July 7th.

List of changes:
* Added an additional sender/receiver teleport
* Moved the sender teleporters, they are now positioned so that when the player takes one they are still facing the same direction as when they entered. Just keepin it simple
* Receiver nodes detached from the top tower level and placed on small platforms slightly higher to give people taking the teleporters a better chance against people already on the top tower level
* More cover added to the bases so spawns are protected from people wandering the outskirts of the map
* Placement of the attacker and defender spawn areas and spawn points were refined
* The sword was moved to the pillars geomerged in the sand do help reduce camping the top tower.
* The two rockets were consolidated into one rocket with 1 spare clip and placed on the middle level of the tower where the sword was.
* Regens removed (to help reduce camping and get more $$)
* Snipers reduced to 0 spare clips and respawn time set to 180
* Modified grenade assortments, grenades of the same type spawn togher. e.g. plasmas spawn in twos instead of one plasma/one frag
* Added two assault rifles
* Moved some dual wieldable weapons to spawn next to each other instead of one over here and the other somewhere over there annoyance.

YouTube Playtest films: (note that the first one is the newest, but none of these have the version where I moved the teleporters at the bottom of the tower)

IZ9 Courtyard

Map Description (As seen in map browser):
IZ9 Courtyard, celebrate your special day at Area IZ9's most sought after wedding venue! 6-12 players (v3.2)

The main focus of this map was to include multi-level action along with close and medium range combat.

I also worked hard on the aesthetics of the map. I tried to make the architecture believable, so I searched the internet for ancient temples and ruins for inspiration.
