This is my first attempt at some decent maps, and within these maps I have used many techniques learned from forgehub 101, and random threads scattered around the site. I'm basically posting these maps for you guys to critique my abilities as a forger, and tell me what I can improve on. The following maps are supposed to be very open, with nowhere to hide. These are great FFA maps, but I do not suggest huge parties on these maps, as it can get hectic.

Pit.

Features:
A sniper lookout on top of the level
4 Vehicles on the bottom of the map creating insanity when people try to rush the teleporter (see pic)
Very clean and merged, plays very nice
A simple design, but it plays like a complex map with the multiple levels.

Weapons:
12x BR
9x Carbine
5x Sniper
4x SMG
2x Plamsa Pistol
2x Magnum
1x Rockets (1 Clip)
1x Shotty (No Clips)
1x Spartan Laser
1x Flamethrower

Equipment:
Power Drain
Regenerator
BubbleShield
Trip Mine
Deployable Cover
1x Overshield

This map is pretty simple, but also very fun. With multiple levels of carnage, and a "Vehicle Stadium" at the bottom, Pit appeals to the vehicle-lovers, and the slayer-lovers.

An overview of the map

The bottom area, also called the "Vehicle Stadium" Notice the teleporter inside the wall. This brings you up to the balcony (Last Pic)

Soy Sawce.

Soy Sawce. A map of insanity. A merged wraith hiding a sword? Breakable pallets hiding an underground grenade stash and overshield? A 4-Car Garage? MARIO PIPES? Yes. Soy Sawce, aside from the rediculous name, is pretty much a merge-fest. almost everything is interlocked, making gameplay smooth, and very appealing to the eye.

An overview of the map

Pipe-Side
Armory-Style Barriers containing shotty
Mario Pipes
RocketCage

Tower-Side (Notice the pallets)
Turrets on top of the tower overlook almost whole map, but that also means you're very exposed.

The pallets break revealing....

Grenades, and an Overshield. There is a teleporter in the bottom left that leads to the top of the "Tower" where a turret awaits.

A Rocket Cage
A Bridge leading to Active Camo and Flamethrower

There is also a hidden teleporter somewhere on pipe side. It is in a wall, so it's very hard to find, but there are street cones near it to make it a little easier to find. This teleporter brings you up to a lookout post above the vehicle garage. Try to find it =)

Please leave comments and critique. Anything is appriciated. =)
