FOR OPTIMAL PLAYING EXPERIENCE, USE SMG OR AR STARTS. BR STARTS WRECKS THE GAMEPLAY AND MAKES THE SPAWNS IFFY. ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE TRY IT WITH THE RECOMMENDED GAME VARIENTS. THERE IS CLEAR REASON WHY SOME ARENT THERE.

Boasting a fresh new layout coupled with uncanny flow, Redeemer makes excellent use of the forging canvas that is Foundry. So what does Redeemer bring to the table that makes it 'ever so special'? Not only does it offer unique geometry and imposing height to the structures it showcases extremely balanced gameplay. With an inspiring layout, similar to that of which a default map offers, Redeemer also hosts a stable equally weighted weapon set. Do not confuse yourself with openness and breathing room, though there is plenty of room for one to dance around, there's an abundance of tight corners and corridors for one to seek refuge. Combining a revitalising layout and riveting gameplay, Redeemer is one map definately worth checking out.

Redeemer is set up for all gametypes. Here are our favorites:

Team Slayer
Team Shotty Snipers
Team King of The Hill
Assault

PLEASE NOTE: CAPTURE THE FLAG ISNT ON THE LIST.

STRATEGY TIPS

If you are being attacked, it is possible to jump/crouch through the front of the bunkers for a quicker escape.
The lifts don't do all the work for you. Try to guide your player where you want to land.
It is possible to get onto the rocket bridge from the lifts, but the right angle and a last minute crouch are required.
Try the map out by yourself to get used to the lifts and how they work before you jump into battle.
If the Ghost is becoming a large problem, do not forget about the power drains, rockets, grenades or plasma pistols.
Sticking together as a group will land you better results for living.
The most valuable weapon on the map is the sniper. If your team has it, make sure it's in the right hands.
If an enemy is hiding in their back hallway, you can coordinate an attack: have one player with a power drain go in the other side of the back hall while the rest of the team makes its way to the enemy's side. The player can then throw the power drain through the center while the rest of the team storms in to finish them off.
Stay on high ground as much as possible. Do not just run around in the open areas shooting wildly.

JOHN'S THOUGHTS

I started this in September with nothing more than the central design known as the C. Chuck Memorial. When I saw the work Alex did on Remedy, I knew I had to work with him. What better map to work on then? Through the past few months, we've spent alot of time designing the perfect layout for a balance between combat and vehicle. The map looks as nice as I'd imagined, and it plays very closely to how I dreamed. Thank you to Alex and everyone else involved in testing and tweaking this map to be everything I wanted it to be.

ALEX'S THOUGHTS

It was more a matter of "when's this going down" as me and John had teased with the idea of a collab for several, several months prior to Redeemer's release. I was eager from the get-go, though after seeing ,what was later dubbed, the C. Chuck Memorial, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. There seemed to be an abundance of bad timing throughout my turns. Around the time the time I first 'nabbed it, I was heading towards exams, obviously I had little time to forge. The design process was great. Each structure was inspired by the both of us. Certain structures were my idea, with his design and my build or vise versa. I was a little disappointed I missed out on the initial tests. Either way, I truly enjoyed working wth John. I look forward our next one ; )
