This is my first map posting on the forum so I hope this meets to high standards of what I have seen and downloaded so far.

Siege Castle

This map is a siege and conquer style map based around a classic castle design. Think medieval battles from long ago brought into the twenty first century.

It’s a BTB orientated game type with lots of power weapons and heavy vehicles. Designed for One flag / one bomb or team slayer; It is going to take a lot of skill to take this castle by force. The main structure is designed with an outer wall and surrounding courtyard with one main way of entry at the front. The inner castle has formidable walls guarded on each side by plasma and Gatling cannons. Inside the main walls you will find all the required weapons necessary to defend from the massive amounts of fire power this castle can withstand. Defences also include two Ghosts or as I would like to call them for this game type Chariots and two wraiths which if used correctly will push back any advancing army.

The main draw bridge is pulled up but there are two handy man cannons which allow easy exiting access when required. There is also plenty of cover inside the walls to avoid the hornet’s constant rocket barrage

Vehicles respawn quickly to make sure the castle is always under heavy fire as it’s a created for constant and unyielding attack. Its puts the classic heavy game types of halo which can be boring in to a different league of fun but it takes skill to achieve your goals.

Tips include:
Don’t let the defenders take the attackers base of toys as that will be game over as the attackers respawn in the garage itself. The attackers respawn base/area is designed to be venerable so always keep an eye out for those knights in there chariots.

If the attackers take control of the main structure there is safe respawning under cover in the outer courtyard from the barrage of fire the defenders will be under.

There are only two mains ways of gaining access to the main castle. Storm the front gates using the man cannons once you have dominated the outer defences.

There is also a teleporter hidden outside the back of the inner castle within the outer courtyard. A portable grave lift is laid out in the open between the two bases to gain access from the rear of the castle. That is almost certain death if you don’t use the appropriate tactics and weapons.

One sniper

Battle rifles and brute shots are floating around

I am constantly tweaking this map so any feed back is greatly appreciated. It hasn’t truly been tested out with sixteen players yet. But with my friends it has proved to be lots of fun if you like objective styled games designed for 16 players.

You can use standard custom game settings as this is a one bomb / one flag or team slayer game type.

I hope you have fun!
