Battlefield

Map made by Mearm. 4-12 players.
This map is an octagonal war zone, where mastery of long range combat comes in handy almost anywhere in the map, but don't think that means you're safe from CQB combat. When on this map, use CQB combat on the lower floors, and long range combat on the higher up floors. You'll miss your assault rifle when you're being chased down by a guy with a shotgun, just because you wanted the sniper so badly. This map supports all gametypes.

Weapons on the map include: 2 assault rifles, 2 battle rifles, a shotgun, a sniper, 2 SMGs, a magnum, 2 plasma pistols, 2 plasma rifles, a needler, a brute shot, 2 carbines, 2 maulers and a machine gun turret.

Equipment on the map includes: 6 frags, 4 plasma grenades, a bubble shield, a power drain, a trip mine, a grav lift, a regenerator and a deployable cover.

In this map, there are 2 floors of ledges on the sides of the octagon. These are good sniping spots for carbines and battle rifles, and the floor above is best for the sniper.

When on the lower floors, watch out from above; there could be alot of bullets raining down on you if you're not careful. In the beginning of the game, race for the high ground, and if you're lucky, you can keep the enemy at bay in their own base. This map is made for at least 4-12 players.

One of the bases. This is the attacker's base. Both bases can be told apart by looking at the roof. The defender's base is roofed with boxes, while the attacker's base is roofed with fence walls. I have tested this map and there is no way out.

This is the defender's base, just look at the roof, like I said before. I deliberately made each of the bases different in design. In fact, The outline of the map is symmetrical, but the inside of the map is assymetrical. Speaking of assymetrical, there are a few things different in assymetrical gametypes. One is that one of the entrances to the bases is blocked by a fence wall, and a fusion coil spawns next to it on the inside. (There are 2 entrances to each base) The other difference is that a window panel spawns near the remaining entrance to help defend.
Now for gameplay screenshots:

There are explosives on the map, so use them to your advantage.

Sniping is difficult when being shot at by a turret, as shown by Parune. We actually tried this shot twice, and the first time, he killed himself by deflecting the bullet off of the B-sign and right into his head. It was funny to watch. Just thought I'd put that in there for laughs.(He's probably going to kill me for this)

The bases can be used for long range to, as surprising as that may seem.

Wow, that must have hurt.

Again, this is my map. Thanks to Parune for helping take pictures even though he didn't want to. When I was doing the middle part of the map, i ran out of boxes and walls, so it doesn't have that much interlocking, aside from the walls. This is my second post so comments are appreciated.
