Map Description

A simple map which can hold up to 4 players, 2 on each team. The map consists on two bases connected to the central area with ?-shaped passages, each holding a Shock Rifle. Each side of the central area and both bases has different weapon/item placement.

The central area is composed by a big reactor which cannot be entered into, but players can swim into the coolant below it. There are also two ramps, one per side, leading to some ledges ending in wach side of the base.

The asymmetrical weapon/item design, not to mention the infamous corridors to the flag, guaranteed that the map wouldn't be popular.

  • Another alternative is to go to the ramp, without getting nothing, and avoiding the enemy fire. Be prepared, though, if they can get in your way by translocating.
  • By all means, except before entering to the enemy base for their flag, avoid the coolant pool like the plague.
