CONTEST ZONE V1
Download Contest Zone Version One

What is Contest Zone? This is an asymmetrical Foundry map that mixes competitive and casual gameplay together to create an unusual playing experience. It caters for 4 - 12 players and is best compatible with Team Slayer, Oddball and KOTH gametypes. Due to the complete lack of symmetry in this map, I found it near impossible to make good CTF and Assault spawns, though these are still fun to play. Infection works extremely well on this map.

What are its main features? Contest Zone has very little structure, but is instead filled with many different 'novelty' sections. All of these areas can be accessed in different ways, bringing in an element of ninja attacks into the fray! The centre of the map has a small two-storey building with a large flat roof that enables players to access the other high areas with ease. On one side are two 'chutes' - both are accessed by teleporters on the side of the central building. One chute takes you to the top of the side platform and the other chucks you across the map, often landing you on the central roof.

At the front of the map is a Ghost pit. This is completely symmetrical and has one Ghost on each side parked on to a ramp. In Team Slayer, players will reach the Ghosts at roughly the same time, creating some awesome midair collisions. The pit can be accessed at ground level as well, allowing normal gameplay to flow around the Ghost battles in the pit. It is possible for the Ghosts to escape the pit if they reverse over the pit wall - this can create mayhem with one loose in the main area. There is also a massive suspended platform above the Ghost pit that has been geomerged into the ceiling. This gives players an incredible vantage point and a sniper shot at pretty much every area of the map.

It is also worth mentioning that on the other side of the central building is another teleporter that is lodged between two walls. This throws you into another chute that takes you on to the first floor of the building.

In the two 'prongs' of Foundry, there is various cover geomerged into the ground and walls. There is also a little weapons room for pure novelty reasons that is stuffed with pistols and SMGs.

Why Version 1? I confess that this is only my second serious Forging attempt, though I reckon this map has been made up to a pretty high standard. However, my knowledge of spawn and weapon placement is limited and advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks! ;)

Thanks for downloading and I hope you enjoy this map. I have thrown in a lot of tactical opportunities into this map - I hope you can make use of them while playing. Advice and feedback would be great. Thanks! Jebby
