Arbitration

For everyone who liked the look of the original (and unreleased) Arbitration, you are going to LOVE this. I did not release the old one because it did not meet my standards of forging. Myself (E iNGLouRIouS 3) and redshadow11492 decided that a good idea like an all-direction lift needed a brand new remake with nice aesthetics, and smooth gameplay.

Arbitration is a radially symmetrical map in the skybubble of Sandbox. It is set up to play well for team vs. team games of Slayer or Flag, and also FFA Slayer. The best gametype for Arbitration may though in fact be multiteam Slayer (4 teams of 2 to 50.) Because the map is radially symmetrical, it is absolutely fair for 4 teams to compete. The spawns were set up so that there would be neutral spawns throughout the map for asymmetric play i.e. Slayer and Multiteam Slayer, but opposite sides were also filled with symmetric spawns (TS and Flag) so that teams would spawn on their own side. Needless to say, a lot of planning went into Arbitration to make sure it played smoothly.

Weapons and Equipment:
Battle Rifle.......x4..........60 Sec...........2 Clips
Carbine.............x2..........45 Sec...........2 Clips (For symmetric play only.)
Frag Nades.......x4..........10 Sec
Sticky Nades....x4..........10 Sec
Over Shield.......x1..........120 Sec (Located in the Middle)

Gameplay:
-Team Slayer
-Capture the Flag
-Slayer
-Multiteam Slayer

A hint: there are not a lot of weapons on the map, so if you are not seeking a competitive game, mix it up with Fiesta (Random Weapons.)

The main idea for the map was to build around an all-direction lift. To understand how cool this is, let me explain: when you walk into the bottom of the lift, 4 man cannons facing in propel you straight up into the air through a vertical tube. At the top is 4 man cannons facing out shoot you in a random direction, which means you can land anywhere on the top level. The top level is walled on the sides for gameplay reasons, but more specifically to make sure you do not fly out of the map when you take the lift. The map is called arbitration, because it is random, or some would say arbitrary where you come out of the lift. The top is open, and so the randomness of the lift cannot provide too much protection.

Gamers have found that you can jump onto the fins fused into the obelisks, which adds some spice to gameplay, and is not too useful or safe for the jumper. Also, if you lean in a direction, you can influence which direction you are shot out at.

And without further ado, the pics!
