Default Sapphire

Sapphire
Created by Chipsinabox

Sapphire is a small, completely enclosed map that makes use of the rave gametypes. The design and execution in the forging in this map are superb, combining many new and unique aesthetic touches whilst still providing unparalleled and intense close-combat gameplay.

Gameplay using the rave gametypes (needler starts) allow for explosive and sometimes hilarious gameplay which lends to the maps casual side, often you will find players laughing manically into their headsets as they fall a foot short of a flag capture, and constant teabagging is a curse of the maps festive nature.

The map is generally symmetrical, the only differences are in the bases, teleporters from the bases allow you out into the central room or "hub" room from which you can walk to either base. plasma weapons are in abundance, but still equal without being overpowering. you will often find yourself coming back to sapphire for the hilarity and often quite addictive gameplay that it offers.

Wow, 2 featured maps in one day (and within an hour)! Well this was a fun map when I last played it. It's really small though.

Congrats on the feature! This map totally deserves it. Looks really fun to play. I guess the featured map party will play it.

Oh wow, two great maps featured back to back! I love Sapphire, it's completely original and the Rave game type fits the atmosphere perfectly!

This is what you get when originality meets fun, learn from it.

two features in one day? wasnt expecting this. I've actually never gotten to play this one, but it looked beautiful when i first saw it. I'll have to play some rave gametypes on thism because they are obviously fun if this got featured.
