Headquarters v1
Download

This symmetrical map is great for long range, tactical team BR fights.

After making many maps in the square section of Foundry, I decided to implement the existing map geometry and the built in bases. I wanted to create a map that demanded tactics and teamwork, and also I wanted to use buildings as cover, and not just put random boxes everywhere.

When making this map, I thought more about the functionality of the buildings than whether or not there would be enough cover...and the effect was that this map feels very realistic. The map itself is in the shape of a "U", with the teams spawning in the original foundry bases, behind the cover of a garage, housing 2 mongooses (mongeese?)

From there, the teams progress up the side of the map into the first, small base. This is where the first battle will take place, with the teams using the cover of their respective bases to hold back the other team.

The ultimate goal of the teams is to reach the Headquarters building at the turn of the "U", as it gives a great view of the map, good cover, and has the only power weapon on the map (the sniper.) Once a team has control of the HQ, it will take tactical teamwork from the opposite team to overthrow them.

Long lines of site and space in between various buildings (along with map symmetry) gives Headquarters a great feel.

The only weapons on this map are:
Battle Rifles (15)
Carbines (4) and
Sniper (1)

Another change I made was to remove grenades from the map to encourage team shooting and to promote the use of the Headquarters buildings.

Edit: Interlocking is used on this map.

---Set up for all gametypes, works well with TS, CTF, and KotH

This shows the main base located at the end of the two streets. (This is the main HQ, and the flow of the map places heavy emphasis on control of this base.)

Main street. On the left you can make out the roof of the Headquarters and the mid-bridge area. To the right you can see the back alley, and towards the back you can see the B-side spawn and garage.

Helpful tip: Don't get caught alone without a teammate or two in this long, desolate street. Especially when the other team is about to respawn. X-l

A view of one of the side bases, as well as mid-bridge and under bridge.

This shows the A-side spawn (B-side is just the same, I didn't feel I needed to include a picture.)

A view of the side base and bridge again, but you can see the main HQ. You can also begin to see the map's general "U" shape.

This is my first posted map, so feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
