Irritation

Description:
An asymmetrical map with a lot more merging than my first, EXpholosophus. Obviously, it's hard to think of a decent name for a map, for me anyway, so I randomly came up with Irritation.
When creating Irritation, I took note of what people said on Expholosophus, don't have power weapons by Overshields, do more merging etc, so I did that, to the best of my ability. One thing that was liked by people was the 'Sword In A Crane'. I have re-done this but changed it. I have replaced the sword with a sniper rifle and used floating platforms to allow players to jump up and take, although doing so will put you in a more vunerable place. A sword is on the map at a half-way point, making the players fight over the sword, just like they would for Rockets on The Pit. I have added a bit more scenery to this too, I used Fusion Coils to help players eliminate such eneimes around corners. A merged bunker (my first one too) has a pair of fusion coils in there, again, making another risk of life. I may have overcrowded it with equipment, but it does somehow build up the map. Power Drains, for example, can be very crucial at times in Irritation. Throwing these round the corner and moving to the side can easily eliminate enemies.
Another thing I have done with Irritation, is put an offensive vehicle in it, the Ghost. Unlike Expholosophus, which was very close-quartered, Irritation is open and close at the same time. I wanted to keep Irritation covered up whilst providing the Ghost some space to move about in. The Ghost however, does have weaknesses in Irritation. If a player can draw the Ghost out into a close space, the player shall succeed.

Overall opinion
I think Irritation can offer good gameplay but have a few downsides. Irritation, for me, is quite a nice map. With the cover and open space, it makes it a map that changes your decisions depending on where you are.
I rate this 8/10.
