Magnetic v2
By Cory021

This is Magnetic V2. It is a symmetrical Map that plays best with 4v4 or 4-6 player FFA. I took all the elements of the original Magnetic and remade it completely in about 4 days (I did not rush it at all). I started on a completely new canvas; I didn't just edit the original map. It also looks a lot nicer. Some of the changes are a larger central room to prevent camping and smoother walls. On the first Magnetic, I used blocks for walls and walls on the floor. On V2, The walls are actually walls and the blocks are used for the floor, the way it should be. I made sure to have no bumps in the floor whatsoever, and that it was completely inescapable. I interlocked almost every block on the ground so that no grenades would fall between the cracks and hit some poor fellow below (what are you doing down there? You should be playing Magnetic up here!!!). It also supports every gametype and plays very well with Team or FFA Slayer, CTF, and KoTH. The rooms look a lot nicer and are more unique instead of boxes like the original was.

The weapons in Magnetic were barely changed. I added a Carbine at each base due to the map being slightly larger and removed the Maulers so that the sword would become more dominant in CQB. The Bubble Shield was also removed. Some of the Plasma Grenades were removed and some were changed to Frag grenades. Overall, the map plays extremely well and the weapons were carefully placed.

Balcony that goes into Sword Room. The gravity lift is purely for aesthetics

Secret platforms that give you a strategical advantage. Actually they just kill you. Again, just for aesthetics.

Odd view of the receiver node (kind of pointless, i know). Its impossible to hide in there though.

View from one balcony to the other over the Sword room. The mancannon shoots people who attempt to jump across.

Use these ledges to get from one balcony to the other. Very important to control in CTF games. The fusion coils prevent people from camping up there every 90 seconds

The gold columns are strategically placed to prevent shooting people right when the game starts

As you can tell (maybe not), the map was designed for long range fights from different angles across the map, or CQB towards the middle of the map. Download it, play it, criticize it, and rate.
