Version 2 Pictures and Updates.

Map: Orion V2 **Updated 9/19/09

Well it's about that time Orion got another update.

This update was all about creating even safer places for people to spawn and re-balancing where I wanted the player movement to be focused.

The Gravity Lifts in each base has seen a makeover as well.

It was also my focus to create even better gameplay in the open "Kill-zones" of the map.

Here are a couple Pictures of some of the changes.

1. About Your Map

Orion is a culmination of two maps; Tribal War and The Kingdom. Orion has taken what worked best about each map and not only fused them together but made the map more accessible to a map that suits 8v8. This is a true BTB map, maybe the only map on Sandbox that can say that right now.

3. How many players best suit your map? Can it support players below or above your ideal player count?

8-16, 4v4 runs really well on this map, but if you increase the numbers the action starts to climb.

4. Does your map have vehicles? What purpose do the vehicles serve? Can it sustain vehicles?

Yes, two Warthogs (90 second spawn) and two Mongooses (10 second spawn). This map was made for Warthogs to be a primary choice for players, yet they are very balanced. Not only do the vehicles add depth to the map, but they make for good transportation for Objective games too.

6. What standard gametypes (Slayer, CTF, Oddball, King, Assault, VIP, Juggernaut, Territories, Infection) are supported by your map? Which work best? Which gametypes are not supported, or do not work best?

Supported:
CTF, Multi-Flag, One Flag
Assault, Neutral Bomb, One Bomb
Slayer, Team Slayer (ranging from 4v4 team slayer to 8v8 team slayer)

Not Supported:
Oddball
KOTH
Territories
VIP
Infection

The arm point in Assault Games has been moved since films to accommodate the large line of sight that it had previous. It is now closer to the grav lift. Since the films the Invis Cloak has been taken off the map. Four columns have been also been added for additional cover.
