End Game is a large mutliplayer map ideal for the BTB, Assault and CTF gametypes. The premise of the map is very similar to Paradiso as it is on the Island part of forgeworld, and I am not very original.

The whole concept of the map was to create a fun gameplay experience within an enclosed environment where access to the Warthog Gauss was enabled. As one of the best vehicles in the game it rarely features in competitive maps and I wanted to change that.

The bases are of a very simplistic design and act primarily as a landing pad for each teams respective Falcon and Wraith. The majority of the gameplay will be away from the bases in slayer, but during objective gameplay the design becomes all the more important as there is essentailly only one route to the point of interest increasing the difficulty of scoring.

The Falcon is a vehicle I am also very fond of, and I believe it to be fairer than the Banshee which sually features on Paradiso. The battle can be won in the skies here with the Falcon and manouvering around the mountain with attacks coming from all side is exilarating.

The Wraith again is a fairer version of the Scorpion which would usually feature. Though powerful the Wraith is slow and therefore relatively easy to destroy. Despite this however it is a fantastic counter to the Gauss Hog and keeps things in balance.

Offset from each base is a Sniper Tower, which (unsurprisingly) houses the Sniper. The positioning of these towers makes it very difficult for the opponent in particular during Assault gametypes.

Overlooking the main arena of conflict are elevated sections for each team, accessible by following the coloured strut markers on the opposite side of the map. These introduce another level to the gameplay.

The reverse side of the map links the two respective bases with a large bridge.

The tunnel which passes though the mountain and the centre of the map is exposed and possesses the Spartan Laser on low respawn. This, in addition to the low ammo Rocket Launchers, are present to counter-act the vehicle heavy map.

Above the tunnel is a teleporter which transports the user to the top of the area which houses the gauss/neutral bomb/neutral flag depending on gametype.

This area is only accessible via the top entrance through either Falcon drop, Jetpack or teletport. One way shields prevent access otherwise. Camping in this area is not a good idea however as from the top you are very succeptible to grendades amonst other things.

So there you have it. Hopefully the size of the map means that the the weapon set isn't too overpowered and that frantic and fun games await those that play this map. I hope you enjoy it.
