Mini-Contest - think of an amusing quote for the final action shot. If I like it better than the current one, I'll give + rep and post it in place of the previously existing quote.

A Quick Rundown

If any of you FH vets remember Azure Trail which I released three months ago or so, then you'll recognize this as the much-improved remake.

Almost exactly a month after releasing Enigma, I give you a symmetrical Standoff map that oozes innovation while is still a blast to play.

If you've never fallen to your death before, then let me inform you that it is an invogorating experience that this map will not let you miss out on. Therefore, even though all standard games/gametypes work well here, it might be a good idea to turn off the suicide penalty.

Just so you know what you're getting into, this map contains:

1. Bouncing ghosts and choppers. If you don't know that RB is used to exit a vehicle, now might be a good time to learn.

2. Destructible cover, pathways, scenery, etc. If you love to blow stuff up, then this is pretty close to paradise. Just remember that the pallet you're standing on might be gone a second later.

3. Various tunnels and ways to navigate the map. Don't be afraid to take a chance on a jump, the respawn counter won't make fun of you if you miss.

Overview n' Description

A whole map overview. At its core, the design is relatively simple: two bases and a central platform.

An quick shot at the main level of red base. The main deck is open enough for cross-map BR'ing, while cover is not far off.

Two small tunnels at red base. The left tunnel contains a teleporter to blue base, the right tunnel holds a Needler. Look before you leap: the pallets won't be around forever. OS is aesthetic only.

Under the bridge at red base. A good place to sneak around and get the jump on unsuspecting players coming down from up top. OS in the fence box are aesthetic to differentiate between bases.

The bottom level of red base. A perfect example of destructible cover/scenery. Grab that Brute Shot while you can. The active teleporter shown is the exit to red base's long tunnel.

Boom. Can't argue with this logic.

The entrance to red base's long tunnel. Drop into the mancannon from the main deck to access a Deployable Cover and Mauler. The upside down reciever node linked to the sender node at the end of the tunnel takes players up to the BR barrier, above the tunnel entrance.

The top deck of red base. Either take a vehicle across or hop across the pallet path onto the center platform.

A shot of blue base's pallet path (red base's is identical on the other side of the central platform) which players can use to get to the center platform. Don't fall off.

The center platform, indicated by aesthetic CP's. The Splazer is the main feature here, but the Bubble Shield on the other side of the platform is equally useful.

Maybe I forgot to say that the aesthetic arches are destructible cover. Don't expect them to respawn either.

A overhead perspective of mainly red base, though some of blue base can barely be seen at the right edge of the shot.

Action Shots

One blue attacks with SMG's, the other attacks by shoving his ass in the red player's face.

Either I posted this picture to show how hard I fail at jumping, or I just wanted to show off my amazing inpenetrable* boundary wall.

Insert mandatory "GET TO DA CHOPPAH" here.

Did I say that the area under the bridge was safe? Well it is...sort of.

A well placed nade leaves me trapped in the Needler tunnel.

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to check out my previous map, Enigma, which is currently at over 200 DL's.

Don't forget to DL, rate, and comment.

*inpenetrability of wall is debatable
