Not a fan of MLG? Thats okay, HERE is the regular version of the map.


SPARTAN ARENA
-- Spartan Arena was designed to be a fast paced slayer match. I wanted a map that had continual movement and removed camping. The map itself is an octahedral shape and takes up a greater portion of Foundry. This map takes inspiration from both Foundation and Warlock, but its a completely different map in its own. All players spawn outside of the arena in various locations, and use man cannon chutes to enter the arena. A player can land in multiple locations from the chute depending on the angle and speed they enter. This helps prevent spawn camping and gives a player a fighting chance at survival. In each spawn area, a player may choose to pick up a carbine or a battle rifle depending on which side of the map they are located on. A rocket launcher can be found within the center of the map, but its not truly effective until a player reaches a higher vantage point. There are also two maulers that are crucial to controlling the center portion of the map. In the center of the map there are many objects that can be used to quickly move to the upper section of the map. The upper section of the map is entirely open, so a player will have to continually move up and down the map to effectively kill their enemy.

This is my first attempt at an MLG map, and while I've gotten feedback from a few enthusiasts, I'm sure there are improvements that can still be done. After you've played, let me know what you think about weapon placement.

Very nice.... Very nicely constructed and looks like it will play good. Check my maps out if you get a chance "Vertigo" and "Mansfield"
