If you are the lazy sort and do not want to occupy yourself with all of the reading, I have marked the most important parts with (*).I do however recommend reading the whole thing as it will help to better understand the map.
This is my first posted map on forgehub so if anything isn’t up to standards I apologize in advance. Please let me know if something is wrong and I will fix it as soon as possible.


Built in 2496 as an asylum, the psychopaths from all around the globe were the only ones to see its interior. The amount of patients started to deplete as time passed and people were "cured". It was eventually closed down due to its useless nature and reconstructed as a full time high standard security prison and renamed Maximum Security Correctional Facility (MSCF for short). Harsh treatment conditions for the prisoners and the constant eye of the ruthless guards makes this a truly unpleasant place to be. Strict laws and regulations with a painful death as a consequence have made it very infamous among the law disregarding community and is widely know to all those who chose the wrong path as the "True Hell on Earth". Due to the danger of the inmates and the fact that this building is being improved upon everyday in construction, it has been sealed shut from the inside and out. It is said to be virtually inescapable but some insist on trying still to this day...hoping one day to actually be able to roam free in the metropolis that stands outside the walls of the harshest prison in the world.

---

This map is a cops and robbers map with a twist. It was based around the idea of escaping the prison and the hiding in the city that is stationed outside. This sort of game-play offers freedom to the players and is fun for everyone. Most of the maps like this (cops and robbers) only allow the cops/guards to be entertained since the prisoners can’t do anything but stand there and obey, and with only one (or in some cases none) way out its is very hard for the humans/prisoners to actually win or survive the round. I’ve gone to change all that by creating a map of my own and implementing a variety of different ways to escape as well as numerous opportunities to survive.

*I have tried my best to create a game with as few honor rules as possible and at the same time make it fun and enjoyable for everyone involved. Unfortunately I could not completely get rid of the honor rules so a few still exist. These two (or three) simple to follow rules include:

• The guards cannot kill the prisoners unless the prisoners disobey them (the guards should give warnings before shooting), assassinate one of the guards or try to do so, shoot the guards, or if they escape the prison or try to do so.
• The prisoners are allowed to roam free inside the confines of the prison unless told otherwise by the guards.
• If someone escaped or has tried, a nice thing to do would be to give them a warning to get back inside the prison or not to do it again, then killing them if the don’t obey. They could always return the favor. This is not necessary but it is something that my friends implement while playing and overall it makes the game much more enjoyable.

*There are about 50 different hiding spots all around the map including inside the prison. Escaping is somewhat easy if you know what you are doing. With about 8 different ways to escape it should not be a problem. Some escape opportunities are much easier than others as shown in the pictures. There are objects inside that can aid you in the escape. These include 2 deployable gravity lifts inside the prison which can be used in the courtyard to get out, but be weary as the guards can come after you just as easily. Once outside you are able to use the environment as you please. The map has multiple structures on it which you are able to utilize for cover and in the end, survival. There are about 7 of them total. When you are outside you can use any of hiding spots around the map which include but are not limited to hiding inside, next to, on top of, around, and behind various objects on the map such as pallets and crates. You can just use your imagination and finding them won’t be a problem. Using the hiding spots inside the prison as well as outside is the only way to survive the round other than assassinating the guards. There is a Garage which is connected to the prison and is accessible via a door by both the guards and the prisoners

This game consists of 6 rounds. Each round is 3 min .This makes the game play a little more challenging. Another reason for the short time is the fact that everyone has one life and those unlucky enough to die don’t have to wait as long.

The prisoners start out in the respective holding cells either on the top or bottom floor. The guards start out near the main entrance of the prison, which can be easily opened by using the power drain found upstairs. The prisoners upstairs are the lucky ones since the have the easiest opportunity of escape. The prisoners can work together to outsmart the guards or can escape and look out for themselves. They can either trick the guards by using the environment to their advantage and then escape or stay inside the cells and wait for the right distraction.
There are 2 guards and the rest are prisoners although this can be changed if there is a large amount of players. The prisoners have radars which helps them in the long-run. The guards have to rely on their eyesight alone. Since some people will have trouble figuring out the escape routes I will point out most of them or list hints to their location. I’m not saying you need to get out of the prison to survive because the prison has a few good hiding spots of its own, but it would increase your chances of surviving the round.

• The pallet that is located in the courtyard.
• Using the gravity lifts to get out via the courtyard.
• By going through the door leading to the garage.
• The windows located upstairs.
• The front door. (opened by throwing a power drain near the fussion coils.)
• There is a hole in the ceiling near the hangar door.

*GAMETYPE SETTINGS:

*IMPORTANT*: Do not change the setting to more than 3 guards as there are not enough spawn points. This is why I recommend my own game-type which can be found on my file share.
Everyone has 1 life per round.
The Prisoners :
Default settings.
Primary weapon: Magnum
No secondary weapon.
Weapon pickup: Enabled
Speed: 90%
Gravity: 100%
Default sensors
Forced color: ORANGE

The Guards
Damage resistance: 1000%
Normal Shields
No Shield recharge (0% recharge rate)
Primary Weapon: Shotgun
Damage Modifier: 200%
Infinite ammo: Enabled
Weapon pickup: Disabled
Default Movement
Radar: Off
Forced Color: BLUE


Weapons and Equipment on map:

• Shotgun x3
• Sword (hidden somewhere on the roof) x1
• Machinegun turret x1
• Plasma turret x2
• Firebomb Grenades x3
• Power Drain, Trip mine x2 (each)
• Grav lift, Flare x3 (each)
• Active Camo (Respawn Rate Never) x1
• Overshield (Respawn Rate 120 sec) x2
• Custom Powerup (Respawn Rate 90 sec) x1

Custom Powerup Traits:
Duration: 30 seconds
DMG ressitance: 200% with 2x overshield. 90% recharge rate.
Damage modifier: 0% and infinite ammunition.
Speed: 150%
Gravity: 75%
Sensors: 10 Meters (Enhanced Mode)
Forced color: White
Waypoint: Visible to Everyone

The basic idea behind the custom power up is that it can benefit both sides. (guards and prisoners.) It gives the guards an enhanced, 10 meter radar for 30 seconds, which helps in finding the hidden prisoners as well as offering a speed boost. But it forces the guards to do absolutely no damage and lowers their damage resistance which makes them very vulnerable. As for the Prisoners it gives them speed boost and additional protection but at the cost of having a point over your head which everyone can see for 30 seconds. It’s a short term benefit and a burden in one.

Now for some pictures:

This is the prison itself. As you can see from just this picture alone there are a few ways out. The invisibility seen above the main door can be used to try and assassinate the guards.



This is the courtyard of the prison. The pallet (respawns every 20 sec) is the easiest way out. One of the gravity lifts is located above the second story cells.



These are the bottom cells. At the end is the courtyard. The stairs lead upstairs to the eating quarters while going past the stairs leads to the front door and the Cleaning rooms (shower, toilets).


This is the second floor of the prison. A few hiding places can be seen. The power drain that can be used to open the front door is located here.



This is the bottom floor. The front door of the prison can be seen here (fusion coils). The cleaning area is also somewhat visible in between the 2 “B” signs. The second gravity lift can be found behind the wire spool.



This is one side of the whole map. It holds a few of the structures and numerous hiding spots.



The other side of the map. (The hallways in the back are not connected together)



This is the garage. It is connected to the prison via a one way door. The Custom powerup which sits in the middle of the map can be seen here.

Gameplay pictures.

This is the easiest way to escape. Just jump on the pallet and jump again. This is what you want to do when you play.



This person attempted a more risky escape and failed miserably. This is not how you want to end up while playing.



Here is an example of someone using the environment to their advantage. Since the prisoners have radar it is much easier to switch hiding places before you can be seen.

*That’s it for my description. I hope everyone who took the time to read this enjoyed it and hopefully would be kind enough to give me their download. I have been working on this map for a while now and I keep updating it to make the gameplay more enjoyable. I want to thank:
~D4VY JON3S
~FTR CHURCH AO
for helping me out in finding glitches or exploits in the map, as well as helping me fix them and greatly improving the map in the process, and also for being there during the boring process of making the map. Also thanks to anyone who helped me test out the map.

*I have worked hard and long on this map and I want to see everyone enjoy it. I appreciate any constructive criticism and any tips that would help me improve my map. If you guys have any questions please let me know. Feel free to contact me on my gamertag - DeadLock25. I also have an old version of this map which I build long ago. This map is the new and improved version as the other had little or no merging and was less entertaining. If anyone is interested in seeing the old version please let me know.
By the way I didn’t take off the roof to take pictures because the pictures I have so far, almost fully show the whole prison.
