Clawdaddy v2.1

CLAWDADDY
"He chooses who will go and who will stay."
12-16 players

Just want to first say thanks to the community for all the great feedback and help in playtesting this map; the map would not be what it is without you. The biggest changes I've made to the map since Version 1 concern the middle platform and weapon/vehical placement. I have also fixed that Mancannon deathtrap in the middle, it now functions properly and should now easly launch you onto the claw consistently.

Clawdaddy is a Big Team Battle symmetrical map; I have tryed to mimic the playstyle of larger Halo maps such as Waterworks and Hemmorage. The battlefield consists of two opposing bases separated by a giant metal claw and a 'loading platform' of sorts. Clawmarks scar the island and surrounding beach, as if the claw was once digging for something.

Each base is fitted with a several vehicals, various small arms, and is equipped with both a mancannon and a telepoter to improve player mobility. The teleporter brings players to 'guard towers' adjecent to each base where combatants will find a shotgun, a Rocket Launcher*, and a machinegun turret. The mancannon launches players near the center of the battlezone, where they may obtain power weapons such as the Gravity Hammer, Focus Rifle, and Plasma Launcher.

Give it a Download and tell me what ya think. I do plan on submitting it to the Forgetacular Challenge, so any feedback or constructive critques are more than welcome. The map should now support most team based objective games and most FFA gametypes, Invasion is not compatible.

Thanks again.

*UPDATE: v2.1*
Due to an issue with the ghosts being unable to kill players standing in water, they have been replaced with revanents. I personally feel revenants are a bit over powered, so I've added a rocket launcher to each bases guard tower. The teleporter bringing players up onto the claw arm is gone, as is the energy sword; this my help resolve some framerate problems when viewing the battlefield from the claw (it may very well do nothing at all). Soft Kill zones now prevent players from camping on the claw arm, but the claw hand is still accessable. The Wraith now spawns below the claw in the water. Updated pics are coming soon.
