There's a fight brewing at the old Forerunner power station

Let's get to it, shall we? This multi-tiered map occupies the water-filled gorge that lies just off the edge of Hemmorhage in ForgeWorld.

We'll start at the bottom and work our way up. The circular canopy structure in the picture below serves as the "hub" for the lower part of this map.

Just below the canopy, you'll find yourself in the middle of a four way intersection.

To the "north" end of this intersection, there's a mancannon that will throw you to the higher end of the map. The walkways leading "east" and "west" will take you to the side base structures that are built into each wall of the gorge. But first, let's go "south".

Moving down the ramp you'll step into a shallow pool of water collecting at the end of a tunnel.

As you make your way through the tunnel, water will be flowing through, rising and falling at about knee/waist level. When you emerge from the other side, you'll step out onto a winding walkway just above the water's surface. (The mancannon mentioned before is visible just above the door you'll exit the tunnel from.)

Exiting the tunnel, your view will be something along these lines:

Move through the stone archway, and you'll be heading up a wide incline that leads into the large base structure ahead.

Once inside, you can hop on the grav lifts to reach the second level.

Exit to the curved ramp that winds its way around the rocks, and you'll find what I like to call the gazebo.

From the gazebo you can move straight through and up the tower that reaches the map's highest point.http://img502.imageshack.us/i/towerq.jpg/

The highest level of the map is also accessible by way of the mancannons on each side of the gorge.

Speaking of the sides of the gorge... If you chose to go "east" back at the intersection under the canopy, your path would take you this way:

Or, If you chose to go "west" back at the intersection under the canopy, your path would lead here:

Or, if you have no interest in travel, and would prefer to lay down some fire from above, check out the sniper perch that sits along one of the gorge walls

Or, perhaps the one on the "jet-pack-accessible-only" island, which also doubles as an explosive storage area. (can't have snipers just owning everyone now can we?)

So there it is. Have fun with it and let me know what you think.

Per usual, there are a variety of weapons to play around with on this map. For more serious games, some of the power weapons could easily be swapped out. Also, I'd recommend the jetpack loadout for this map. It's already pretty easy to get around the map quickly, but the jetpack increases your travel options significantly. Of course, it often makes you more of a target.

P.S. --(Map now also supports CTF, Assault, and Territories gametypes. Guessing this map would also be great for Infection and Invasion type games, but to be honest, I don't have much experience with laying those out.)
