As the map description says, this map emphasizes grenades and equipment, not weapons. This map is different from most Forged maps you see, in that most Forged maps are filled with a lot of scenery, weapons, vehicles or warps to make the level crazy. This map has none of those things.
The only things on this level are grenades and equipment, with the exception of one Flamethrower that spawns in the middle of the central platform. If you look at the screenshots, the level looks quite bare, and to tell the truth, quite unexciting. But to be honest, while I spent a lot of time making the level look good, it wasn’t made to look exciting; the gameplay was made to be exciting. You kind of have to play the map with several friends, and not by yourself, to get a good feel for the level.
I’m a casual gamer, but I consider this be a competitive map, because you will often find yourself with eight grenades and a piece of equipment. This will help you practice switching between the appropriate grenade for a situation, and when to use a certain piece equipment, or when it is actually better to switch the piece of equipment you have for a different one because it is better suited for your situation.
You can set the starting weapon to whatever you want, but I prefer Assault Rifles (close range weapons work best). 2-8 players recommended. Same concept, different map: Powers Pit.
