Battleship BETA
-created by VI AMAC XXI
I'm looking for 8-10 people for 4v4 or 5v5 games. I have an assault variant and a territories variant that i would like to test as well as the map. I'm thinking it'll take an hour to an hour and a half. I want to get some games in but it's the first test so there will most likely be problems.
Battleship is an asymmetrical map focused on three ships in the skybubble. The backstory is that terrorists took over one boat and you have to take it back. The boat you have to take back is the "Battleship" and it's in the center of the map. Two boats are on the side of the battleship and are called the "Gauss Boat" and the "Carrier Boat". The gauss boat has an undrivable gauss 'hog and the carrier boat has a banshee and a transport hornet. The battleship has a cargo hold, an engine room, a bridge, some extra rooms for cover, a helipad with a transport hornet and an unmovable wraith "Artillery Cannon". The attacking team uses two man-cannons to get onto the battleship to prevent the defenders from getting onto their boats.
The attacking team starts on the smaller boats and have a total of 4 shotguns, 2 snipers, 6 BR's, 4 smg's, a splaser, 1 rocket, 2 plasma pistols, and two machine gun turrets. There are also teleporters allowing players to switch between the boats.
The defending team starts on the battleship with a sniper, a shotgun, a rocket, 2 maulers, a sword, a brute shot, a needler, a carbine, a BR, 2 plasma pistols, two plasma cannons, and a machine gun turret.
Also, somewhere on the map is a "Skull" (Actually a sentinel beam) that earns the finder lots of respect.
The gametypes are battleship bomb, and hijacking. Battleship bomb is basically assault with a few minor tweaks. Hijacking is territories, and the attacking team has to take over the bridge, the cargo hold, the helipad and the front deck.
EDIT: Also, if anyone has suggestions for names that would be great.
