Deadlock v1.0

"Heavily fortified positions around Deadlock's central tower ensure chaotic and fast paced gameplay [4-12 players]"

Description

Deadlock is a symmetrical map intended for fast paced slayer and team slayer games, although the map also supports capture the flag and assault/neutral assault.

The map is built around a central tower, with an elevated platform that runs around the outside. Two sniper towers that offer excellent coverage across the map enable a moderately skilled player to lay down effective covering fire. Cover is sparse, apart from the fortified positions at each base.

'A Base''s fortified pillbox

Each base is home to a pillbox - an effective means of defending flag spawn and bomb plant areas. For CTF gametypes, the flag capture base is at the top of each sniper tower, to improve the longevity of gameplay.

'Sniper tower A' overlooking the map - notice there isn't much cover at lower levels

The maps single power weapon - the flamethrower, is housed at the top of the tower, reachable via a gravlift on the ground floor

More screenshots showing spawn locations for 1 half of the map are available further on in this thread...

The Geometry of the map allows for fast and frantic rounds. At the game's start, players tend to rush eachother by the most direct - and most heavily fortified route. Players soon learn where bottlenecks and weakpoints in a base's defences are, and a mix of good teamwork and determination will see a team to victory.

A particular focus was put on making this map feel almost like an MLG map, whilst allowing for gamers who prefer a different, more casual playing style to also enjoy this map.

Props to the MLG gamers, who's map - 'MLG Amp v5' i used the wall from to block off each regular foundry base.

The map features almost 100% interlocking scenery.
