Exertion

This is a repost of my Exertion map. I submitted last night too but the forums were erroring on me and apparently a lot of other people. With my luck, file shares were having problems too. I know it's technically past the deadline but I'm resubmitting just in case there's an extension or clemency due to the forum problems.If it's too late, that's fine, just getting my map out there anyway.
Exertion is a relatively wide open map with two base areas that each team spawns at and also a middle base type structure where some key weapons are and a pathway that connects all three base areas. There is also simple two-way teleporter that just puts you across the map; you can still see each other from port to port also.
The weapons were all placed very specifically and the rocket is on a 2:00 drop spawn as is the sniper which is at 1:00. All other weapons are either at 30 second or 60 second respawns. There is also a shotgun and an AR among other short range weapons. I had no problem putting those for several reasons. One is that the map is very wide open so short range weaponry will have minimal impact. Another reason is that variety increases situational awareness. Personally I would very seldom if ever pick up the AR but there will be that rare time where it can be used in a certain situation and it can be clutch.
The map has a slight HH feel which wasn't initially intended when creating it but I went with it a little bit. I made sure to not make the top base area overly powerful by spawning the weapons and powerups in lower more neutral areas. There is a camo and a custom OS on opposite sides of the map in the neutral areas. They are both on 60 second respawn times like in Halo 1 because quick respawn times promote constant flow throughout the map.
The map is intended for TS mainly but CTF and KOTH can also be played on it. For posterity, every single gametype was changed in forge, including assault and oddball and the others in case anyone chooses as such.
