Rendered video walk-through

Map Haiku:

Lazing on the beach,
I spy a slender beauty.
Nope. That's a rocket.

Supported Gametypes:

Everything except Race and Infection (I ran out of items. Sorry.)

Recommended Gametypes:

1 Flag CTF - 8-16 players - What else would you expect to play on a "state/dance" map?
1 Bomb - 8-16 players - Hard to plant, harder to disarm. Epic Falcon assault is epic.
Team Snipers - 4-12 players - It' a large map, so fewer people might want some ranged weapons.
Invasion Slayer - 6-12 players - The quarters are a little tight for the vehicles, which makes it perfect for explosions.
*you may want to turn off the map's initial weapon spawns. Up to you.
Headhunter - 8-16 players - If you like large-map headhunter, I mean.
Invasion - 8-12 players - Remember, read team (spartans) has to be the attacking team
*This was made with Territories/Territories/CTF phases in mind.
King of the Hill - 6-12 players - Yup. Might want a slower moving hill for this map.

Map Preview Screenshots:

Overhead View
D-Base is on the left. O-Base is on the right. The cave is in the top left. The sniper knoll is on the bottom. It's that simple.

Offensive Base
Voila the offensive base. Pretty defensible if you decide to play some symmetrical objectives.

Defensive Base
This is the defensive base. There isn't always an exploding wraith outside. Unless you're playing invasion slayer

Central Boardwalk
There's a grenade launcher in the tunnel!

The Cave
The teleporter in the offensive approach building leads into the cave. Devinish like to rocket-boost his Ghost into stalactites here.

Shallow Water
Just stay on the shallow side of the buoys and you should keep your head above water.

Lessons Learned:
1) You do not fly the falcon over the big wall.
2) You do NOT fly the falcon over the big wall!
3) If you want to get behind a sniper on the knoll, jump out the window and take a man-cannon.
4) Wraiths don't float.
5) Neither does Cosmic Rick.

Final Notes:
Thanks to everybody who was involved in this map. Testers, idea-men, forge-gnomes, and friends, I thank you! I hope the community has fun with this map. And I reserve the right to modify the map at my leisure (but I think I got everything set up right this time). Feel free to let me know when, where, and how I failed on anything in this big guy.
