Note: This map replaces Razor Bridge, a map by me that had 128 downloads and a 4 Column rating based on 6 ratings. This map has been improved by interlocking objects, smoothing floors and slightly altering the way it plays. This is the final version of this map.

Razor Bridge 1.1 is a roughly symmetrical, team-based map, especially suited for Team Slayer, CTF, and Assault. The map consists of 2 bases at the corners of the large squarish area in Foundry (the normal bases are blocked off) the top floors of which are connected directly to each other by Razor Bridges "TM" : ) (difficult, but possible to traverse without falling.) These bridges require precise jumps to cross, and have a sword suspended above them at the center. The flags and bomb points for each team are on the top floors of the bases.

If a player falls from the Razor Bridges, s/he lands in The Pit, where 2 Dumpster Cannons fling Dumpsters at lethal velocities. If the player can get to one of the exit teleporters, s/he can escape to the "Turret Side'" of the map.

Each base has 3 floors: an open "ground floor" underneath the flag spawn with a BR, a mostly levitating first floor, with some weapons, and the top floor that holds the flag/bomb, more weapons, and connects to the Razor Bridges.

On one side of the Razor Bridges and The Pit, called the "Turret Side" there is a tower with, naturally, a machine gun turret and a mauler in the middle, a fuel rod gun at the top, and a regenerator at the bottom. The Turret Tower connects to both bases at the first floor level via bridges. There is also a Ghost at ground level whose domain is restricted to the "Turret Side" and under the bases. 2 SMGs sit next to The Pit.

The other side, called the "Sniper Side" has a sniper tower in the corner with 3 levels. The sniper rifle is at the top, a mauler is in the middle, and a power drain is at the bottom. (Look around carefully from this tower for a really sweet sniper shot.) The "Sniper Side" also contains two bubble shields, an overshield, 2 plasma pistols, 2 plasma rifles, and a Brute shot.
A teleporter connects the center of the "Turret Side" to the center of the "Sniper Side" across The Pit.

In addition to the thrill of crossing the Razor Bridges while under fire, this map offers a lot of room for strategy, tactics, and weapon control. In CTF, try to control one side of the map, then coordinate a flag attack with teammates on the Razor Bridges.

I worked very hard on this map, and fussed over every little detail, so if you are going to download the map, or you have, and like it, please comment in this thread to keep it alive for others to find. Thanks, and enjoy! : )

If you manage to escape The Pit, it will be on your knees.
This unfortunate flag carrier fell into The Pit and couldn't get out before he was splattered.
