I've heard a lot about maps with "good rico possibilities" lately and I realized that I didn't really know how to incorporate that into a map. I built this map to try and teach myself (criticism greatly appreciated!).
The concept is very, very simple. There are 4 bases near the center, separated by some walls. The map is higher near the middle and gets lower towards the edge.
1/4 of the map
Here's a shot of what each team's corner looks like. The wall near the middle of the image means you can hit anywhere on the third layer from pretty much anywhere else. Also, you can hit people in neighboring quadrants by bouncing shots off the outer walls provided they're on the same layer as you. But the really good part is the pyramids...
The hourglass
This object lets you shoot from the 4th layer up to the 5th, and vice-versa. It's much easier than you think to get the shots where you want. With some practice, you can shoot from one hourglass, across the top layer, and back down the OTHER hourglass. I dunno if that's important tactically, but it's fun to try
Finally, here's a screenshot of the radar for the map. It helps you visualize it much better than I could get in observer mode.
I didn't add any flags, I think this map is better without them. Feel free to add your own mix of flags, though, I think pretty much any combination would work.
So, comments welcome. I am aware that by most standards the map looks pretty empty, but I think the varied terrain makes up for that. However it is one of the things I'm not sure about, so I'm interested to know what people think.
