This is my first attempt at using a little bit of interlocking and geomerging. The basic idea of the map was to separate it into structures, rather than doing it the way I used to, by just forging as I go and ending up with one big map. I planned out what it was I wanted to build, and what the best positioning was for each of my structures. I can say that I am pleased with the end result. While it's by no means the nicest looking map, the gameplay value is there. Feedback is definitely welcome, I am always in need of suggestions and any ideas that you think would improve the gameplay quality or aesthetics of the map. For those of you that like pictures, the screenshots below detail each structure in the map and gives a short description of what you can expect to find.

The main structure in Legacy East. A ground-level passage leads all the way around the massive structure, with an optional grav-lift leading up to the top of the Monolith where one of the two Sniper Rifles is located. From there you can also fall into the center of the tower, where you'll find the gravity hammer. Leading away from the top of the Monolith is a bridge that will take you to our next attraction: NeedleNose Towers.

Pretty basic structure here, two towers with a tunnel on each side. Each tunnel has 2 fusion coils placed in the corners for good measure. The left tunnel contains a Battle Rifle. The bridge that comes down from the Monolith leads to the Needler. In between the towers is a fence wall, with an SMG on each side of the fence. Now for the centerpiece:

Again nothing too complex here. Smack in the center of the map is the Energy Bridge, the location of, you guessed it, the Energy Sword. This area makes a great target for the snipers on each side of the map. Speaking of snipers, let's take a look at the corner opposite the Monolith:

A sniper rifle sits idle next to a staircase that leads up around the outside of the tower. The first half of the staircase will bring you to what I like to call the halfpipe. This is a nice structure in itself, and it's great for tossing grenades into. You can jump around like crazy without fear of falling off, as you're pretty much enclosed and don't have to worry about what's behind you. The second half of the staircase will lead you to the top of the tower. A single barrier provides cover as well as the nice size of the floor to protect against those who are ground level. While the top of the tower isn't the safest place to go, you can easily retreat back into the halfpipe in case of danger.

Next up is the back center of the map, a place that I call:

I know Foundry is probably the worst map that you can place a turret gun on. Which is why I've constructed a sort of limit barrier. The gun will only shoot at certain key points of the map, for instance the Energy Bridge, the Sniper Tower (but not the halfpipe), and parts of the next section of the map. With two sniper areas and plenty of walls, it's not likely that you'll be on the turret for long. It's designed so that it will hopefully get you a quick one or two kills, but is a dead givaway to your position and makes you an instant sitting bull.

And finally, we have:

I'll be honest with you. I was out of ideas. If I make a version two of this map, this area will probably be scrapped for something else. In the meantime, we have carefully placed fence walls and shield doors, and near that center box we have the mighty Shotgun. This is a great place to break out the tent and wait for unsuspecting victims to come running through your shield door, only to find a shotgun blast to the face waiting on the other side. Be careful though, they may just be carrying that Energy Sword, knowing your plan all along. And believe me when I say that snipers will be watching you.

And there you have it.
Feedback, please! =)
