Map Description
All download links are at the bottom. This is my de-virginizing map post, so I would truly appreciate some constructive feedback.

_________________________________________________

A look down the back hallway reveals some obstacles, grenades and a Power Drain.

The view from Base 02 shows a little cover, a ramp on the left (Mauler below the ramp) and several structures in the main area of Foundry.

UPDATE: Looking toward the previously-described Mauler location shows a Flare. This thing has proved very useful in the area displayed. The Shield Door has been removed and the 'B' sign has been moved to the right a few feet.

This is the first of eight structures. Behind the ‘A’ wall is a teleporter to take you to the upper level where you have access to a Brute Shot and a Man Cannon to shoot you to the central structure.

Upper level of first structure. The walkway/ramp heads toward the Man Cannon.

Another view of structure number 1.

UPDATE: Structure number two contains a Battle Rifle and Deployable Cover. It can be accessed three ways; 1. jump to from the first structure, 2. jump to from the ramp on the left, or 3. walk onto from the central structure. All of it is above the ground except for the single box seen through the Shield Door (Spawn location on top of it).

The third structure is where you can find the Active Camo and the Needler. There are also a couple of good snipe locations here. The Man Cannon shoots you up to the central structure and the ramp is used to get onto the upper level here. The wall merged into the double box can be reached by a jump from the central structure, and vice versa. The wall/floor below the Active Camo is not against the window wall. A wary jump to get the Camo will result in you falling to the ground level. Also, obviously, there is a Ghost resting in this area.

UPDATE: In the center of the back wall is the fourth structure. It contains two Spike Grenades (replaced with Plasma Grenades) and the Energy Sword. The sword is over the hump, which creates a great sniping location or ambush spot. It can be reached by the bridge leading to it, or from the lower level of the central structure. A jump from either end of this will reach structures number 3 and the next one. Below this is a sign sticking out from the wall to provide a little cover to running Spartans and Elites, as well as a Trip Mine to help combat the Ghost.

UPDATE: Structure number 5 is in the rear Base 01 corner and contains; a Brute Shot, Carbine, Overshield, and Power Drain. It seems like an overly powerful area, and would be if it weren’t for the minimal cover. It is easy to get grenade-spammed if you spend too much time here. The Man Cannon will deposit you on the central structure and a Gravity Lift will assist you in climbing it from the left end. The Man Cannon has been fully merged into the single box. It no longer sticks up from the top.

UPDATE: This view of structure number 5 shows the Overshield, Power Drain and Brute Shot. The Brute Shot is stuck to the side of the single box containing the Man Cannon. The visible Plasma Grenade has been replaced with a Frag Grenade.

The sixth structure guards a Plasma Cannon and two Spikers. The Spikers are below the ramp and against the vacuum pipes. There is also an Incendiary Grenade located above a small ledge facing the central structure.

A second view shows a Shield Door that provides a little cover, but which is lifted from the ground to still allow explosive things to get by. The Man Cannon is used to access the central structure and to shoot the Wire Spool at your enemies. It sucks to get killed by that when someone shoots it up at you. Ask me how I know. There is also a Man Cannon on the other side of the dividing wall opposite this one. It did not appear in the image. And, a Mauler rests on the ground in front of the Wire Spool.

This is the central structure. It is a four level pyramid. There are three doors on the ground level to access the room in the bottom center. The second level also contains a small central room with a bridge for a floor, as well as several closets and a hall that passes through the width of the pyramid. The bridge floor in the central room does not cover the entire floor, which allows to drop into the lower level. The third level has a hallway through the width and the top level has a Sniper Rifle with an extra clip. Two Gravity Lifts help you get up the higher levels and four ramps, along with the myriad Man Cannons allow you to access the pyramid from the outer areas and ground level.

Here is the Base 01 side of the pyramid. You can see on the second level there are two doorways. The right-most passes directly through the width of the structure and contains two SMGs. The left-most door allows to either pass through the center to the other side, picking up a Regenerator along the way, or to drop into the lower room. The Gravity Lift gets you onto the top level. The doorway to the left of the Gravity Lift contains a single Plasma Grenade and passes through the width of the structure.

The Base 02 side has four doorways. The left-most doorway on the second level is the SMG hall. The next doorway to the right contains the Regenerator and allows passage through, or down into the pyramid. The next doorway to the right is simply a small opening, or a closet. It is very useful for a quick hiding spot when turning the corner. People run right by. The doorway on the upper level passes through to the single Plasma Grenade. There is also an equipment Gravity Lift on the upper level.

UPDATE: This is a view from the top to the seventh structure. The double box contains the Flare seen above. The ramp that leads up to the top of the double box, as well as the Man Cannon on the right and the one on the left (normally seen where the small pile of trash is located) do not span until 45 seconds into a match. A Battle Rifle is found on top of the box along with a few Doors for cover. Each large room in the base areas houses a Carbine and a Crate for a little cover.

Here’s a view of the central room of the pyramid. It contains some line-of-sight cover, a Bubble Shield, Spike Grenade and a Shotgun. The Custom Power Up gives you super speed, Active Camo and a Waypoint Marker over your head.

Another view of the central room.

The Shotty location has been moved to the top of the stairs and the Bubble Shield remains in it's previous spot. The Custom Powerup has been moved to a special place not described in these pictures.

I'll take up everyone that has offered to test this with me, likely this evening. I'll send you a FR via Xbox Live. Hopefully you can play. Thanks, Sentinel, for the excellent feedback and ideas. I appreciate it.

Further, there are now three types of grenades on the map. I removed all Spike Grenades and replaced them with either Frags or Plasmas.
_________________________________________________

I know you expect action shots and there are two reasons I do not have any. 1. My friends don’t like to play Custom games. 2. The two times I tried to solicit testing help here, I got no love… nothing, nada, zip.

I hope you give the map a chance because it plays very well. I’ve played with eight people and it was very past paced and fun. I’d use those images but they are of an old version, a real old version.

For all you interlockers there are like five or six things that are not interlocked. Aside from that, all the required jumps to get here or there were included purposely. Any small humps in my interlocking were not.
