I am proud to present Terrace, my submission for Forge Hub's Throwdown 2v2 contest. Its design is simple - a courtyard with a bridge running over it, and a path around the outskirts of the map. While at first the map might seem large for a 2v2 scenario, I designed it with mid-range DMR skirmishes in mind, along with plenty of opportunities for close-range carnage.

The map revolves around 3 main power spawns - the Concussion Rifle, the Overshield, and the Active Camouflage. With Armor Abilities out of the mix, Terrace embraces the classic Halo feel, involving keen map control and tactical awareness of when the powerups and weapons spawn.

Other weapons can be found on the map, as seen below. Two plasma grenades rest at Bottom Middle, and sole Frag Grenades can be found at Top Gold and Center Hallway. I treat them as power weapons in their own right - as far as grenades go, they respawn rather infrequently, so use them only when it would be advantageous to. They are a valuable asset. Don't spam them.

Thanks for looking, and enjoy the map!
