About:
So I felt like making a map. It'll be for the Stronghold gamemode. What'll it be like? Well, expect some more close quarters combat, a lack of any abuse-able base areas, and hopefully lots of fun for everyone. What do I classify as abuse-able? You've probably seen it; people building ramps up to easily breach a base instead of going through the motions of a breach and clear style tactical special forces S.W.A.T. type exercise. You know the type, one guy with the repair tool in break mode, while your mate is aiming their AK at the entrance, ready to blow the head off whoever decides to answer the door. Expect a distinct lack of that stuff. Why? Cuz I'm a whiny guy, and I don't like it. Don't bother arguing.
I'll not have any real big opportunities for sniping, either. The entire map will not be one big sniping and camping fest. Indeed, there'll probably be a couple of nice spots for bursting heads. Not many. I'm looking to be making a map with less rage, fewer places for base building, so you actually have to fight over them, and potentially the necessity for building your own homes. Why? For more fast paced, actiony, lack of camping spots action. This is good. Why? Because, nobody likes a camper. It just induces rage, and makes everyone bloody unhappy because it's just so unfair to those being shot. Yeah, yeah, it's fun to just nuke anyone you please, and they can't do anything to stop you. Not for those poor guys being shot at. But, I digress.
This is all horseshit. Forget it. It'll be what it'll be.
This is a completely spur of the moment thing, so don't expect this hunk a map to get going.

http://www.mediafire.com/?xw25k0cxcxniozkThis is a complete beta. Alpha, even. So far my train of thought is going with three extra buildings, each on a vertical line up and down the grid, from the centre of course. Wtf is that? Don't ask me. There'll be an underground bit, that will connect everything up. It will go to all of the spare squares, of course, so that it's easy to move about. It's pointless checking it out by yourself, however, unless you just wanna check things out I guess.
