Map Description:
Cradle.v2 is a map inspired from the epic showdown in the classic first-person-shooter Goldeneye, which takes place on an antenna cradle. The symmetrical concept is continued in version 2 by a complex style of levels, multiple stairs, newly added cover areas, clearer team bases and new functions.

So lets talk about the changes from the first version. They are as follows:
- The fence walls around the perimeter have been interlocked to improve the aesthetics.
- All dumpsters have been removed and slip zones have been redone to improve the aesthetics. Each quarter has its slip zone created using only walls, or fence walls to make it look neat and matching. The slip zone design for each quarter opposite each other is the same to improve the symmetrical feel.
- Probably the biggest functional difference, the death teleporters have been removed to make more use of the bottom quarters. Respawn points have been added to the bottom to make full use of the map size and reduce spawn killing.
- Probably one of the biggest strategic changes to the map, new tunnel structures have been added to both sides of the cradle to reduce spawn killing and add spots where you can take cover from fire and recover. Doors have been interlocked on the edges in places on the walking platforms to add places you can take cover.
- Shield doors have been added to the top sections on both sides to reduce spawn killing and to make them look more like team bases. Oversheilds and camos have been interlocked into the team bases to correspond to the team colour to improve the aesthetics.
- The rocket launcher and snipers have been removed as they dominate the map too much, along with being too powerful. In the rocket launcher’s place is a shotgun, with a longer respawn time may I add.
- The overshield has been removed due to it being too close to the power weapon above. An active camo power up has replaced the overshield to add to the strategy side of the map. Please note that the camo will not respawn at the start.
- All fusion coils have been removed from the bottom quarters to make more use of the map and to reduce lag.
- The small room at the bottom of the map has been made slightly bigger and teleporters interlocked into A or B doors teleport you on top of either tunnel structure. The A doors teleport you to the labelled A tunnel top. The same applies for the B doors.
- The placement of weapons has been changed. Plasma grenades, SMGs and Magnums have been added.

Phew! I think that’s all of it. As you can see, ive been very busy making lots of improvements to create Cradle.v2, the final version. Now for some screenshots.

Congratulations, an amazing map! man I love it when people put good maps on the forums, some times it takes ages, you've left the others behind! Great aesthetics, great gameplay. 5/5

It looks like you fixed up all of the flaws from v1 like the the lack of cover, overpowered-ness of the sniper rifles and fairly useless floor.
I really like the window panel tunnel and the map looks like it'll play a lot better with a usable floor
Good job

i like this personally i think it would of been good for the two on two event and also one and one, cool map

Wow, significant improvements over the old one, i like the new cover rooms in their and the shield rooms up top, this map looks like a good slayer/teamslayer map
awesome

Woah, this map is epic. I don't know why but it sorta reminds me of Buddha Crane's "Distortion". It also reminds me of the painting of all of the stairs going in odd directions, I do not know why. The layout is very cool. I really like it.
