Description:

This is version two of my last map, The Mountain. However, I have completely started again, and redesigned the whole mountain itself, making it symmetrical; as well as redesigning the starting locations and game type, which I will describe more in-depth below. The major development from version 1 is from the most common complaint, that the map was too "sloppy". The first was made quickly in one day as an original idea, I have spent a lot more time aligning this one and thinking through each box, as I did not wish this map to be as sloppy.

Spanning the sky, this map's central mountain doesn't appear difficult to climb - but try climbing it whilst being shot at!

The map's design is for two teams, red and blue, as they battle to take hold of the mountain that takes up most of the map. They climb to the top to reach the goal - and be the King of the hill!

The map contains just one hill, a central point.

The map itself is made mostly out of boxes, as these were a generic shape, allowing me to make a planned-out and geometric landscape. This meant that the map is completely symmetrical, which is important as to not give one team an advantage.

Inside the mountain it is close-quarters combat, as each team struggles back-and-forth to gain ground on the mountain. Once the first tier has been taken, it is not he end; they must defend this first tier whilst conquering the second, then the third. When they get to the forth, they reach the prize! The hill is on a small plateau at the top.

Each team starts separated, to stop spawn-killing, which was a problem on version 1. When they start at the side of the mountain, they are greeted with this view:

They may take path A, which leads them inside and up the mountain, such as has been described above. Or, they may take path B, which leads to an open field, with a constant fire-fight, as seen below:

The game type is not much different to normal team King of the Hill. However, ammo is spent quickly in this map, so players start with pistols as secondary weapons. There are also no grenades on the map or in the game type to stop grenade-jumping, which was also a problem in version 1.

The final development from version 1 is the very limited use of shield doors. I received a lot of complaints about their over-use in version 1, and I have almost completely removed them for version 2. This forces players to not just defend the hill from around them, but from above and below as well.

I hope you download and enjoy playing my map! Any feedback would be much appreciated!

p.s. Although it was not designed for this purpose, the map should work quite well on team slayer as well, as long as it stays two teams.
