I present you with version 1 of my forgtacular contest entry. The map is currently nameless, part of me posting this is for naming help, the other is to get constructive criticism from other forgers/players. Kinda lenghty post so scroll to the bottom if you dont want the TL/DR version.

This map is constructed out of the coliseum area of forgeworld. Originally designed for 4v4 TS, after the first game of play testing it might be better suited for BTB. If someone wanted they could also squeeze in objective games like ctf.

Map Description
Symmetrical map with 2 seperate bases. Each base has a big tower with a sniper nest and a small tower with a mg encampment. Each base has 3 floors. Each teams elevator can be used to go up or drop down a level.

Man cannon and grav lifts can be used as "grenade launcher" to launch grenades into other base, or set a landmine over each sides tunnel system.

Weapon set
3 DMR's per team
3 Needle rifles per team
1 human sniper per team
1 shotgun per team
2 needler's per team
2 plasma pistol per team
1 MG encampment per team
4 frags per team
4 stickies per team
1 sword
1 grenade launcher

First playtesting feedback

1) A little complex in some areas. Some players were having trouble getting to the top floor or getting lost on the first floor. Some of this is I feel is a matter of not knowing the map, some of it I can understand. Want more than 5 thoughts about it tho.

2) No graphical/texture lag - highest praise came from the look and feel of the map. It looks extremely original, and no frame rate/texture lag issues in the map (took great pride in making sure there was none)

3)Might be a little big for 4v4 TS. Again only 1 play testing has been done, so my friends still don't know the map. First run started out with a huge fight, then slowed down drastically. Not sure If I should open some areas up, or if it was just lack of knowing where to look.

4) Angles - Lots of cover, yet lots of angles to put team shots on opposing players. One player loved how you could find so many angles yet still have enough cover to remain alive during a fight.

(i know that was a long read. If you took the time to get this far, I thank you very very much.)
