RAMPARTS

Ramparts is a Symmetrical map (diagonally symmetrical) optimized for 4v4 team slayer but it also supports most other gametypes. I recently (i.e. about an hour ago) submitted this to Bungie's Forgetacular contest thingy so we'll see how that goes but anyway. As with most of my maps Ramparts is fully enclosed (it makes me feel safer about the play area then simple kill boundaries really). But to offset this fully enclosed look it is planted on a patch of grass providing a stark contrast to the silvery sleek hues of the rest of the map. I worked hard to ensure there was minimal z-fighting and lag and i believe it is a fine specimen of forging.

its basic layout could be described as sort of five quadrants, a center circle with 4 entrances from the ground and 2 from the second floor, which is surrounded by 4 squarish zones forming a rectangular lower space, with a figure 8 placed around it as a second floor sort of skirting the map(with four large ramps as well as a couple lifts aiding upward travel). This has led to good flow throughout the map preventing either side from staking out in any one place to long. The Rockets lie in the very center of the map and have only 2 shots at a 150 second respawn. Each team spawns near a sniper rifle as well with 8 shots which is also at a 150 second respawn. In addition to these power weapons there are two concussion rifles, two needle rifles something like 8 DMRs and 2 plasma pistols. I have had very positive feedback from my own testing sessions (as well as others from the testing guild and other friends)and any largeish problems found have been fixed long ago. So without further ado the rest of the map:

Blue Spawn

Red spawn (identical to blue spawn just taken from opposite angle)

Sniper Spawn

Rockets spawn in the middle of the stone structure

Upper Mid (Left Side)

Lower Mid (Right side)

Quarter of the map with spartan for scale

Double Snipe Gameover Im so Clutch lol
