Hello again forgers! My last few maps that I have published have been asymmetrical/symmetrical slayer aesthetic maps. They were fun to make but I have decided to come back to my forte, which is, large scale One Flag maps.

Tortuga Tower is a fantastic One Flag map that is well made and very aesthetically pleasing, but the thing that separates it from other visual maps is that it is so playable. The gameplay on this map is the key point. The large defender's tower has many power weapons present, making a flag cap. very difficult for attackers. This makes the attackers work together and use thier resources.

The attackers base is located on the edge of the map facing the defenders tower. The base is partially hanging off the edge. The base is very intricate and multi-dimensional. Attackers have two vehicles, a Hornet and a Mongoose, both to be used for flag advances. There are 3 main entrances into the Defenders base. #1: series of ramps that lead from base of the Tower to the first level. #2: Man Cannon near the attacker's cover. #3: Teleporter in side room that leads to attackers second story.

Weapons
Battle Rifle x 7
Carbine x 2
Rockets x 1
Splaser x 2
Sniper Rifle x 1
Beam Rifle x 1
Mauler x 2
Brute Shot x 1
Equipment
Grenades - ? a lot
Bubble Shield x 2
Power Drain x 1
Trip Mine x 1
Regen x 1
Camo x 1
Vehicles
Mongoose x 1
Ghost x 1
Hornet x 2

[EDIT] I forgot to tell you all. On the first level(story) of the Defender's base there is a little hole smack dab in the middle. Throw a nade down that hole and it will blow up 3 fusion coils at the entrance to the base. :]


I hope you all enjoy this map as much as I enjoyed making it, and with that said; Here are the pictures.

VISUALS
Overview: Mostly defenders, but attackers base can be seen.

Ah, sweet. I was wondering if you were ever going to post this. I never got to actually play on the map but from what I saw in forge it's awesome forge-wise. I would DL but my xbox is broken :(. O well, great job anyway

This is the next Coldfront man! I can't believe you were able to make this. The pictures make it look amazing. Didn't think anybody would be able to match what Coldfront did with Avalanche but this looks great!
