Map Overview: Torsion is a symmetric map utilizing 3 floors, 2 bases and an expansive network of bridges that meet in the center "Arena". Primary Red base is located in the Northwest corner, with a smaller base located in the Northeast corner. Primary Blue base is located opposite Primary Red in the Southeast corner, and the smaller base in the Southwest corner. Both Primary bases feature 3 floors with the 3rd floor giving access to the twisting bridges or to each teams "Sniper Perch" and smaller base, depending on which way the player decides to go upon reaching floor 3. The Central "Arena" houses the all powerful Rocket Launcher, Neutral Bomb Spawn, and Oddball spawn. (each spawn only in their respective gametypes) Gravity lifts offer access to this area if players don't want to navigate the bridges or if jetpacks are disabled. Also found on the ground floor are 4 two-way teleporters. (Inspired by Wizard/Warlock)

Final Words
Since I've updated the map to have less cover and to feel less "safe", I haven't been able to adequately playtest it to get the feel for how it works. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.
