Concave
This structure, reminiscent of other facilities, is under siege from enemy forces. 4-10 players. By AceOfSpades.

Concave, as you may or may not know, has been sitting finished on my hard drive for a couple of months. Also, as you may or may not know, I forge extremely quickly; it's getting around to releasing my maps to the public that I slack off on.

Concave started out as an idea in my head to make an Essence-styled asymmetric map on the pillar of Forge World. I saw the pillar as a perfect location to make a very vertical, asymmetric competitive map. Building off of the design concepts and what I like to call success of Essence, Concave has commonly been referred to as an "asymmetrical Essence."

Power weapons are placed, as in all of my maps, as to make a player risk their vulnerability to acquire a power weapon. The rocket launcher is placed in a position of little cover from the upper floor, with no easy way back up to the upper floor. If one is to get the sniper rifle, they must fully commit themselves to getting that sniper rifle, as it is at somewhat of a dead end with little line of sight blockage protecting the player. The shotgun is placed in an area where it is definitely not readily useable, as it is in a fairly open area with little tight corners in which to hide. Both it and the overshield are placed at one of the lowest areas on the map so that the player acquiring them has to sacrifice any height advantage to get them.
