'Launch yourself into the elevated cage WWE style, or fight on and around the structures below it. 2-8 players.'

Overview

This is my third posted map, and itâ€™s better than the first two by a longshot. Nearly everything has been interlocked or merged, and the layout is creative without sacrificing gameplay. Cagematch is a somewhat symmetrical, medium-small map for 1 vs. 1, small team battles (4 vs. 4 is max, but it might feel a bit crowded), and FFA (6 players max). Anyway, Iâ€™ve decided to switch the post formatting around a bit and use pics to describe the map instead of a whole block of unwanted text. So, here ya goâ€¦

This is an overview of the whole middle structure. At the top of the screen with the receiver nodes, fence boxes, and fusion coils is The Cage. Below the cage is a platform with eight interlocked walls and four mancannons in the center, a.k.a. The Octagon. Below the octagon with the fence walls and barriers is The Fire Room.

The Cage â€“ there are two entrances to the cage, one behind the interlocked doors and above the mancannons. There is a gravlift that takes players up this way, but it can be destroyed to restrict access (10 second respawn). The other entrance is though a teleporter on the catwalks, which takes you to one of three random receiver nodes on top of this cage, all of which shoot you through an Overshield and into the cage on different sides. The only way to exit the cage is down, either past the doors or all the way down to the bottom floor (must destroy gravlift).

The Octagon â€“ the octagon allows access to the catwalks (floating fence wall), the cage (three angled fence walls), and the fire room (walk into mancannons, they shoot straight down). The shield doors provide cover, but if you get too close youâ€™ll be sucked down by the mancannons.

The Fire Room â€“ this is where a player that runs/falls into the mancannons will be shot violently. The room contains some powerful fire-based weapons, but it also is extremely easy to throw nades into (just chuck one into a mancannon and see where it goes).

This is an overview of Base A and the surrounding area. The teleporter into the cage can be seen on the top of the screen. At far left is the cage, octagon, and fire room. In corner of map with two merged single boxes is the spawn area.

This is an overview of Base B and the surrounding area. It doesnâ€™t look exactly the same as Base A, but the concepts are very similar. In place of the teleporter in the previous pic is a Regenerator. At far right is the cage, octagon, and fire room. The spawn area is in corridors below the roofed structure in the corner of the map.

This is an overview of The Catwalks and surrounding area. Pic was taken from above Base B. The octagon is at far right.

The Catwalks â€“ this is the second highest area on the map. It includes a mini sniper cage (where stairs lead to), the spot above the sniper cage, and the two bridges extending outwards (with Regenerator and teleporter). There is a hole in the top of the sniper cage that allows players to drop down and jump up between the two levels (using a barrel). The floating fence wall also provides access to and from the octagon.

This is an overview of the Brute Shot Shack and surrounding area. This area is located directly opposite the catwalks. Pic was taken from above Base A. The octagon is at bottom right.

Brute Shot Shack â€“ this mini-house consists of a few fence walls, breakable pallet entrances (never respawn), and an interlocked roof. Inside the shack is the weapon itself along with some barrels to provide cover. Players can easily reach the roof, but there is nothing useful up there.

Details and Pickups

Inside of the cage. Note the Fuel Rod Gun in the far corner. The Bubble Shield is in the other corner (from where the pic was taken). A Plasma or Frag sits at the end of each wall. Watch out for the fusion coils!

Upper entrances to the cage (through teleporters). Overshield would be above the hole but it has already been taken (Overshield canâ€™t be reached from inside the cage). Note that this area is above the level barrier, so players wonâ€™t have to worry about overshooting the cage because gravity makes this impossible.

The octagon and fire room. The Flamethrower and Firebombs can be seen inside the fire room.

More detailed view of Base A. The Power Drain and BR are on top of the single boxes and wall, the SMGâ€™s are on ground level. At top left is the Base A sign and a merged double box. The Carbine sits atop the sign and the Mauler is inside the double box (hanging). At top right there is a small passage with a couple doors that goes up to the octagon. A pair of Plasmas sits at the end of the passage. Just offscreen to far right is another barrier behind which a pair of Frags sits.

More detailed view of Base B. Weapons and equipment are in same places as Base A.

More detailed view of the catwalks (and sniper cage). Sniper is hanging as obviously seen. A pair of Plasmas is directly above the sniper, and the teleporter and Regenerator are on the ends of the bridges. Two BRâ€™s are offscreen and sit resting against the single boxes on ground level.

More detailed view of the shack. The Brute Shot is attached to the wall in the far corner (behind the barrels), and a pair of Frags sits behind the center fence wall.

Looking straight up from the fire roomâ€¦

Warning, the big metal cage is a fire hazardâ€¦
