So let's start at the basics. I'll start by reintroducing Grinder in the words I used originally, as they're still applicable.

Grinder is based in Foundry.

Grinder is a semi-symmetrical map with an open floor plan and a two floor layout. Both the upper and lower levels are open with available cover to avoid sturdy setup locations and to promote steady moving fast paced gameplay. A Sniper are available but limited due to the maps size and visibility. Four teleporters on the ground lead to two up top (they are labeled by A and B signs, the sign by the sender indicates which sign a player will emerge from) and also two grav lifts available in the map (to avoid players blocking + camping teleporters). An open centre (Canadian spelling.) in the top floor allows players above more ability to fire on moving players below. A Warthog does exist in the map but is unusable and is for aesthetic purposes only. Players may also spot a Mongoose, Wraith, and two Ghosts. Though the vehicles are unusable Feel free to shoot the nearby fusion coils!

Reccomended gametypes:
Small Team Slayer (2v2 etc)
