Presents...

First and foremost, I'd like to say that this was the very first map design I had planned out for Reach's Forge. Due to lack of motive though, I never really got around to finalizing it and posting it. Once the 2v2 Throwdown contest was announced though, I felt that it was the right time to get the map out there. With that said. I put myself in gear and started working on the map. Making tweaks, fixing some framerate issues and generally making it a better map. Which, it really has improved. I'm glad with the final results and hope you're too!

Sinoviet is a symmterical map that is basically fully enclosed. There's some glass that lets you peak out into the world of forge and even a sight line that lets you see the water below the map. It's kind of small and just about all the lines of sight are aimed for close quaters. There are some mid-ranged ones though, so no worries there. There are two holograms, and one evade on the map. It also fancy's a 'nade launcher, shotgun and a sniper that spawns later in the game. All of this combined really makes the map a lot of fun.

Here's a weapon list for Sinoviet

x2 Needle Rifles; 30 sec. 2 clips
x2 Plasma Repeaters; 30 sec.
x2 Magnums; 30 sec. 2 clips
x2 DMRs; 30 sec. 2 clips
x2 Plasma Pistols; 45 sec.
x1 Grenade Launcher; 90 sec. 5 clips
x1 Sniper Rifle; 120 sec. 1 clip (doesn't spawn at start)
x1 Shotgun; 180 sec. 0 clip
x2 Frag Grenades; 45 sec
x4 Plasma Grenades; 30 sec
x2 Holograms; 30 sec (up to four can be on the map at once)
x1 Evade; 45 sec (up to two can be on the map at once)
x2 Health Packs; 15 sec (in the base area)
x1 Health Pack; 30 sec (in center area)

And now, on to the pics and a rendered walk-through!

NOTE: It's a symmetrical map, so everything is the same on each side... so I didn't bother to take a screenshot of both sides.

Be careful of this LoS, you might lose your head.

Don't be too afraid of the shotgun, just know how to be able to handle someone with it, like this guy!

So yep, that's all I've got to show, hope you enjoy the map and be sure to come back and tell me all about it.

I'd like to thank those who gave me great feedback on layout tweaks and tips for making it have less (none now, that I know of) framerate lag. I'd also like to thank all the peeps that helped me test the map out (you know who you are!) --and thanks a bunch to MickRaider for resizing my imgs and titmar for the banner. :D
