Focal is a small symmetrical map for 2 to 8 players. It is built on Tempest and utilizes the beam as an aesthetic. I had the idea myself, and began working on this just days after the release of the Noble Map Pack. However, due to the extensive testing the map has gone through, it is just now being released. Speaking of testers, there are many I would like to thank such as Stevo, Skisma, Throwindembows, inferno, Secret Shnitzel, Kittenpaste Company, Pacmonster1, Mac XL, Natetendo83, and many others, you know who you are and I thank you. The map is set up for all gametypes except for Race and invasion. Team Slayer is probably the best here, but Multi-Flag, Stockpile, and FFA games are all quite fun as well. I'm tired of blabbing, so I'll give you a weapons list and some screenshots.

Map Layout:
This is a small map with a simple layout. New players should be able to get their bearings almost instantly. There is a large central dance floor where the sword is located. Ramps lead from here into the bases, and a grav-lift takes you up top where the concussion rifle is. The bases also lead up top, and thats about it. It works great for competitive team games.

Weapons:
DMR x6
Plasma Rifle x2
Needler x2
Energy Sword x1
Concussion Rifle x1

Frag Grenade x2
Plasma Grenade x4

Health Pack x2 (3 in FFA slayer)

I knew I wanted to have a sword on the map, so I chose the concussion rifle also because it's stopping power, and ability to knock players out of sprint is a great counter for the sword. The other weapons fell naturally into place.
