I'm generally new to this, so basically I'm looking for any advice.

The idea for the map is a 2 base, 3 floor, symmetrical map. This being my first map I figured both 2 base and symmetrical maps would be the easiest, but I didn't want to make yet another Onslaught clone. The main focus is both team spawn on the 3rd (highest) floor but places of interest (i.e. power weapon spawns) are on the lowest floor, making it hard to get without being shot at.

Problems I see, the map is somewhat small and there might be a lack of cover available. Plus spawns camping might occur.

A few screenshots;

Middle A and a bit of Bottom Center:

Because of the nature of the map, screenshots are difficult to show off everything together so here is the sketchup file aswell:

Thanks in advance.

More pics and a flashy new name, now with more consonants. Plus this name fits a bit better.

It is, it'll likely be a 2v2 map.

You might want to change that name aswell. One of the best forgers "Matty" recently put out a map with the same name. (Although it isn't MLG format)

looks up close and personal i'm thinking 2v2, 1v1 or ffa good looking but if anyones going to forge this DO NOT ADD A MAULER that would ruin the map and camping would be way easier so I'm geussing no power wepons and mabe add an invis but deffinitly NO OS anyways good job hope some one gives it a shot I would but I'm forging my first map...
