Finally, the first map of the Judgment Map Pack is released!

To all of those to whom it may concern, I'll explain why the release of this took so long.

When the map pack was first started back in August earlier this year, I began recruiting a bunch of forgers who were interested in the gametype and were eager to help expand the idea and build thier own maps for it. Work was steady and productive at first, with maps being pumped out rather quickly. It started with Ell3ment and his Pre-DLC maps, which helped influence others to explore new possibilities to the gametype.
However, things started to die down after school work kicked in for me. I became less involved with the forging of the maps and forging came to a slow point. Maps weren't being finished until after months of delayed forging. Things were getting a bit out of hand, especially for me, who still struggles to finish up some of the maps.
I had been waiting for all of the maps to be completed so that all of them could be released under one map pack in the same thread. I realized this wasn't going to happen anytime soon. After 5 months of waiting, and a reinforced by a couple of complaints, I decided "Screw it, I'll start releasing them individually. It'll give each map more attention and it'll give the creators who made them more praise."

And the first map to be released is the first map that was announced, Drilling Bay, the most tested and most anticipated map of the map pack.

You'll have to download the map to see for yourself. It plays great and looks great. Keep in mind that everything on this map was forged BEFORE the release of ghost merging. It would've been a whole lot easier if I'd known about it then... -_-'

Now, here are some pictures of the map in action:

Watch your back....

Power poots, go!

Don't go it alone, soldier.

Teamwork!

An assasination waiting to happen.

It's all about how you hold out.

Although the final testing group didn't make it here... if you do survive 2 1/2 minutes on the map, the final area opens up.

Note: No ghost merging involved.

Once you make it here, you have open access to the Random Weapon Box!

*happy face* :D

And, well... that's pretty much it.

Again, I'm really sorry about the incredibly late release. But, be on the look out for two things: The Judgment Guide and more maps.

Enjoy the map guys! Expect more to come soon!
