Alright so, this is my first map post :D haha.
Some of you might be saying "wow hes demon how the hell did you get so high up without even posting a map". Well simply because I wanted to figure out what people liked about maps and what people didnt like.

what I found is that people like:
-Originality
-Good Gameplay
-Good aesthetics

so without further ado i preseant to you a map that i beleive fits those three things perfectly; Escallation!

A picture of my team (im in the far back on the right)

Map Description:

This is a holdout style map, with a base on the middle level of sandbox. I have tried to incorporate a working elevator. This part of the map took me the longest. Just a warning: It does not work unless you put the grav lift in the right spot. It is hard to do but with practice you will get it 100% of the time.

If you the elevator doesnt work for you simply just holdout wherever you like to prevent the opposing team from getting any points.

I have also put in drop ships. There are three reasons for them:
-To give the attackers a place to "spawn"
-To give the attackers additional protection with plasma turrets
-To give the attackers a easy way to get to the vehicle spawns.

Weapons/Vehicles on the Map:

-3 Br's
-2 SMG's
-4 AR's
-1 Shotgun
-1 Rocket launcher
-1 Sniper
-1 Spartan laser
-1 trip mine
(*These are all the weapons that are placed around the base)

-1 Ghost
-1 Chopper
-1 Wriath

Classes:
Brute:

The brute has the most variety of the classes. Best if used in a swarm.

Weapons to choose from:

-Carbine
-Spiker
-Bruteshot

Equipment to choose from:

-Flare
-Radar jammer
-Bubble shield
-Spike grenade

Brute Cheiften:

The brute cheiften is special. They get a custom power up that speeds him up,powers him up and increases his defense. A good brute cheiften will be able to takeout the asset

Weapons to choose from:

-Anything in the brute spawn area, they also get a gravity hammer with the custom powerup

Equipment to choose from:

-Anything in the brute spawn area

Brute Stalker:

The stalker is pretty much the "assassin" of the attacking team. A skilled stalker will be able to kill the asset somewhat easily, by using his equipment properly to sneak up and assassinate the asset.

Weapons to choose from:

-Two maulers
*Please not that the stalker DOES NOT HAVE A Carbine*

Equipment to choose from:

-Active Camo
-Radar Jammer

Grunt:

The grunt is the "healer" of the group, because he gets a regenerator This piece of equipment can be very helpful to you and your team mates. A good grunt will be able to pick off ODST's even if they are with the asset.

Weapons to choose from:

-Needler
-Fuel rod cannon

Equipment to choose from:

-Regenerator
-Spike Grenade

Jackal:

The jackal is quite obviously the "sniper" of the attacking team. When spawning as a jackal your teleporter will transport you to a spot behind the base in the dunes. Use this sneaky spot to your advantage to pick off stray ODST's with a simple headshot and to severly hurt the asset. Be careful though you only have 10 shots, use them well.

Weapons to choose from:

-All the jackal gets is a beamrifle. I figured if i gave them anything else then they would be too powerful.
