Overview of map

I made this map trying to utilize the Blood Gulch, but make a straight line map into a U-shaped map. I did this by placing both flag bases and initial spawns on one side of the map, then filled the rest with large buildings on the same side to push all vehicle traffic to the opposite side. At the peak of the "U" there is a neutral base with a machine gun and a Spartan Laser. Cover is given for those on foot by covered paths from base to base and large rocks to mess up the sight lines.

Map Design Intent

Warthog battles, being able to move from base to base on foot without being outside of cover for too long. There are two Scorpions, but they don't spawn initially because they just dominated too much right off the bat and wouldn't even allow the Hornets to get off the ground.

Map includes:
4 Warthogs (45 Sec Spawn)
4 Mongoose (30 Sec Spawn)
2 Falcons (45 Sec Spawn)
~~2 Scorpions(120 Sec Spawn)~~
2 Ghosts (30 Sec Spawn0

1 Rocket Launcher (1 clip)
1 Spartan Laser
10 DMR
2 Concussion Rifles
5 Plasma Pistols
2 Sniper Rifles
2 Shotguns
3 Mounted Machinegun
1 Grenade Launcher
10 Plasma Grenades
10 Frag Grenades

I have played on this twice now. Once BTB and once CTF. BTB was good fun but the Scorpions dominated so quickly early that I took them off the initial spawn. I figured this would allow the Hogs and the Falcons to get rolling and make the team part of this work a little better right off the start.

CTF is fun because there are about 4-5 different paths from each base, but each base is actually defendable pretty easily.
