For whatever reason my other account keeps telling me it needs to be activated, even though I have used it here for years now, so if a mod can help me get it back, it would be most appreciated.

But in the meantime I will use this account to post my maps for this forge the foundry contest.
This map I made well before this contest, I actually made it a few days after the map packs came out. So i went back and made a version 2 of it, that fit better for MLG rules and weapons, although some of my own creative flare it equipment and weapon choices are still in version 2, but I figured if these maps I make were ever used, weapons are by far the easiset changes you can swap in and out. So the importance is placed on the design and layout more than anything.
Description of "A Lofty Hell"
This map was made off the idea of having an elevated style level with platforms and walkways consisted completely off the ground. It is symmetrical as far as the base sides are concerned. The sides however are different completely.
There are 2 main platforms, a side one that contains rockets, and a middle larger platform that contains the sniper. The other side of the map has a large walkway that connects the bottom of the base sides. Each base side has similar hallways behind them, which contain the iviz powerup and a shotgun on a long respawn timer. There are stairs that connect to many different location and platforms located through out the map.
The only real drawback to making an elevated style map, is that to encourage the idea of "death" if you fall, is that one must walk into the constantly exploding barrels. So an honor system of sorts needs to be enforced if one falls to the bottom "dead zone". The barrels exploding seem to cause no lag when I tested 4v4 on this several times.
The difference between version 1 and 2 are no more then a few weapon choices and lack of shield doors on version 2 to fit the style of gameplay required by MLG.
The map has been forged and optimized for the following gametypes:
~ Slayer (Team and FFA)
~ Oddball
~ KOTH
~ CTF
~ and even assualt (1 sided, multiple bomb, and neutral)
best played (1v1, 2v2, 4v4) any more then that really compromises the already lack of surface area.

The pictures you see here are from version 1, version 2 looks exactly the same, minus the shield doors which seem to be opposed here, so in that respect I removed them from version 2. You can however, dowload both version 1 and 2 on my file share to try each style.

Version 1 is on slot 1, version 2 is on slot 2
I will be submitting a few more maps, some of which are already present on the file share, so look for my other threads soon.
