Map Description

This is my first ForgeHub published map, and hopefully not my last. Battledome is a 2-8 player 4-way symmetrical all out brawl. It has basically 3 main levels:

The Floor/Bunkers
Mancannon Spawns/Cage Top
Battlements

On the floor/in the bunkers, the weapons/equipment are:

2 BRs (no extra clip)
2 Shotguns (no extra clip)
1 Mauler
1 Plasma Pistol
1 Spiker
1 Needler
1 Bubbleshield
1 Regenerator
1 Deployable Cover
1 Power Drain
4 Plasma Grenades

The Sniper (the map's true power weapon) spawns on top of the cage, along with a firebomb grenade set on a 60 second respawn.

Also, 4 Spike Grenades spawn up in the Battlements.

The map flows as thus:
Players either spawn in the Mancanon spawns, or up in the Battlements. From the Mancannon spawns, you get launched out into the map, usually landing on The Cage. To get into the Battlements, go to one of the teleporters in the map's corners.* Many times, though providing great cover from bullet fire, the Battlements are suicide as they are a little time consuming to escape (i.e. grenade landing behind you). The bunkers are easier to escape than to enter, but their cover is easily bypassed by stepping into the bunker adjacent, and shooting through the fence wall.

*There are 4 sender nodes on the floor of the map, all on the same frequency. There are 2 receiver nodes in each of the 4 battlement areas (8 total), so you could pop up anywhere.

This version of Battledome is about v6. Every time it was play tested, either new ways to break the map were found, or something of interest appeared to be missing.
