Unholy Relic
Hello and welcome to my 2nd map posted here at forge hub. Unholy Relic is a multi purpose map that works with any gametype except infection. The map works best with slayer (in my opinion) and is great for 2v2. The max party size I would recommend would be 8, but thats pushing it. What is unique about this map is that on ground level, you actualy have an advantage over your opponent. Because there is few structures to post up on up high, view points are limited. Concentrated BR fire and teamwork are the key here. The Sniper will prove difficult to use because as you aspiring snipers know, the higher your vantage point, the better. However, the sniper spawn is far away from any of these key spots. The Fuel rod Gun was added during testing as a counter for the ghost, and the energy sword, but since it only has one clip, you will only be able to use it for one or the other. The energy sword is probably the main focus of the map. Because it is equally hard to obtain for both teams, controlling it can prove difficult. But the reward can prove crucial for your team because of the many close quarter battles you will be facing. The ghost is very useful for those ZOMGWTF where did he come from splatters, but because there is little room to manuever, plasma nades are your worst enemy. I hope you enjoy the map and thank you for taking the time to read my post.
