If so, it was subconscious. It is similar in design (central structure with an outer ring), but it was never a conscious decision on my part to adapt Foundation into this map. Plus they both play very differently.
As for the Plasma Rifle, it's a pretty powerful weapon when combined with the BR here. Dual wielding
PR isn't nearly as powerful or skillful, and since I already had two Spikers I didn't want to overdo it with the weapons symmetry and make
everything the same.

I love the teeth and other forms of cover you have set up. And you know I like curvy round things. I'm gonna download this and when I can get some time to play on it I'll come back and let you know what I think. :D

Why thank you good sir! Maybe we can do some games on it this weekend. :-)

Thanks very much for your kind words. I'll be anxious to see how you think the map plays. The teeth have worked out pretty well for a semi-unique structure that allows for a safe spawning point and cover but still prevent a player from camping behind it with an Oddball or Sniper. A solid grenade to the right spot in the teeth will flush an opponent right out.
And yes, the horizontal stairs under the teeth serve as a tactical jump to the ring. If you look closely, you'll see that each location has two stairs merged together in opposing directions to give it more of a grill look than just stair steps poking out of an upside down box.
