Map Title: Dosado - (DOE-say-DOE) is a basic dance step in several dances including square dance. The term is a corruption of the original French term dos-à-dos for the dance move, which means "back to back".

Description:
Don't forget your dancing shoes...
Dosado is a medium sized 4-way rotationally symmetrical map with 3 levels. There are color coded bases in each of the 4 corners of the map which are connected by a series of walkways and a central atrium. It mixes long lines of sight with close quarters combat and numerous routes of access to all parts of the map including several creative sprint jumps.

It was designed with slayer (including elite slayer) gametypes in mind, in particular (4 team) multi-team slayer, but supports KotH and Oddball gametypes as well.

Default and DMR starts work fine and it is compatible with all armor ability loadouts (in particular, it is incredibly balanced with the jetpack unlike most user created maps).

4-16 players recommended, its been tested with up to 4 teams of 3 and played beautifully. I've also play 1v1 games on it, though slow, they were not unbearable.

Weapons:
1 Sniper Rifle (one spare clip, 150 respawn)
4 Grenade Launchers (5 spare rounds each, 120 respawn)
4 Concussion Rifles (one spare clip each, 120 respawn)
4 Human Turrets (180 respawn)
4 Needlers (60 respawn)
4 Needle Rifles (30 respawn)
4 Plasma Pistols (60 respawn)
4 Magnum Pistols (15 respawn)
4 Assault Rifles (15 respawn)
8 DMRs (15 respawn)
4 Health Packs (20 respawn)
8 total Plasma grenades (20 respawn)
16 total Frag grenades (20-30 respawn)

Original concept sketch (I always sketch all my designs before I start building in forge)

Green base - each of the 4 symmetrical bases are color coded, but the natural light goes a long way to compliment the colors, I was VERY pleased with how the lighting turned out.

The red/orange juncture, several advanced jumps waiting to be discovered from this spot.

looking back the other way at the same juncture (remember everything is 4 way rotationally symmetrical)

view from green turret, notice both walkways visible, its a nice position, but balanced by its exposure.
