Introduction
If i ever decide to run for Guilder at ForgeHub, i need to start making maps out of Foundry. After a lot of deliberation, i came to this idea on Rat's Nest, of a tight 1vs1/4 man FFA map on the cliff-face, overlooking the Pelican-Pad. Since you have a bare minimum of large, un-movable pieces to build the maps with, it was a bit of a challenge to get things to sit right and have a decent sized play-space. I hope you guys think i did a good job.
FYI - All of the man-cannons and teleporters are to stop people getting out of the map.
Layout
The layout is very simple: a small open area, with a semi-circular walkway above; a raised bridgeway spanning the widest point of the walkway; and a floating platform hanging way out over the cliff. Cover comes from the open containers on either side of the walkway or from the Bubble Shield (placed on the bridgeway), but other than that, its all open and you're forced into combat nearly at all times.
The shotgun is placed out on the floating platform, and is balanced by the Brute Shot (placed opposite on the mid-level patform), which (when used properly) can easily foil an attempt at owning the Shotty. Battle Rifles are available at either end of the walkway around the edge, two spikers sit on the floor near the Brute Shot, and a Plasma Rifle finishes the armaments under the Bubble Shield bridgeway.
The Hill points are: in the middle of the open arena floor, on the Bubble Shield bridge and on the Shotgun platform.
Oddball spawns on the floor near to the Brute Shot.
Game Recommendations
- 1v1 Slayer, with no radar and a short round time.
- 4 man FFA, again with no radar.
- 3/4 man Oddball.
- 3/4 man KotH.
This map is too small for any type of CTF/Territories game and thusly isn't set up for them. You could try Juggernaut if you have 4 players. Infection may work, but it'd be immensely hectic.
