Stratus

Stratus

Stratus is a map that I have been excited to post, but never really got around to it. Many of you will recognize it from winning the Template contest, hosted by Bl00D F1R3, a while back. Every mergable (making up words, that's right) object on the map has been merged

How many players?
As an asymmetric map that is built on half of Foundry, the recommended number of players is 4-6, similar to Maverick. :)

Gametypes:
Team Slayer is the best gametype for Stratus, however, Multi and One Flag gametypes, as well as Team King are fun.

Power Weapons:
The two main power weapons on this map are the sniper rifle located in the back base and the gravity hammer in the open base.

Yellow and Purple towers:
These two locations on the map are small towers that can be used for map control or call-outs. There are interlocked power-ups designating a specific color to each tower, so it is easy to call-out, purple, or yellow.

The Ghost:
From the start, I wanted to include a Ghost in the design of the map, so I centered the structures around this vehicle. As you will notice, you can drive the ghost clearly under the Spiker Ramp, under Yellow Base, and many more locations.

I appreciate those whose took the time to read this, but now for some pictures! :D
