Tank Crossing

Tank crossing. (updated September 23rd, 2009)

A symmetrical Team based slayer/Objective map. Build on the sands of the original sandbox foundation this map features two 3 floor bases. On the second floor are based wraith tanks with the ability to strafe and fire at players attempting to cross, also has just enough range to fire at the opposing wraith tank. Playable settings include All Flags, Team Slayer. Teams of 3v3-5v5 are best played with but larger teams are possible.

2. Is your map symmetrical or asymmetrical?
It is a symmetrical map.

3. How many players best suit your map? Can it support players below or above your ideal player count?

2v2-5v5 is the ideal play. Prefer Big team for the best play value.

Vehicles Include
2X Warthog
2X Wraith (based they are the main factor in this map)
2X Ghost
2X Chopper

4X Mongoose

Wraiths are primary defense of the bases while warthogs serve their average purpose of heavy transport with a gunner. Choppers are included as well as mongooses which serve their average purpose.

5. Does your map have teleporters? What purpose do the teleporters serve?
Yes, there are 4 teleporters, two in each base which connect to the same node. The ports take you to the right center of your base. Ports are mainly used to cut-off walking flag runners or rushing cloak/hornet/rockets.

Tank Pit

This area is where Wraith tanks are placed. They are placed in a pit type area to keep them from moving anywhere other than inside the base. They are the main defenses of the bases and catch many unsuspecting players with a large plasma blast.

Rear Base
A picture of the rear bases both sides are identical. Grav lifts are used to get to the top level and may be destroyed but are on 10 second respawns so it only holds off enemies for a short time. Would be unfair to destroy them, so I added equipment grav lifts as well.
