THERMOPYLAE

Updated 11/9/13

 
Thermopylae is a small-to-medium sized map designed primarily with CTF in mind (6 - 10 players), but should play Slayer with sprint down to 2v2.  NS settings should be played with 3v3 or 4v4.

Map Info

Canvas:  Ravine

Size:  A bit smaller than Solace

Layout:  Symmetrically designed and positioned bases.  The playspace around the bases is somewhat asymmetric.  Both bases are connected by a 3-level structure through the narrows, with 5 total routes.  The bottom and mid routes are connected in the center and at the ends.  Players can jump between the top routes.  Each base has three entry points and a side platform with a view of the middle route, while a taller platform and Dominion piece block the LOS for the top assault route.  The top routes and basement routes cannot be covered from the bases or platforms.

Changes from WIP Version:

1.  Teleporters no longer give immediate access to the bases (thanks Juanez Sanchez).  They are now used to transition between lower and mid.  The fourth route to the bases formerly provided by the teleporters is now a hard route.

2.  Oddball, Extraction, and KoTH added.

3.  Additional spawning changes.

4.  Fixed some jump-ups.

Ordnance:  1x Railgun (100s), 2x Needler (130s, one for each base)

Weapons:  2x each DMR, Carbine, BR, AR

Grenades:  8x Pulse, 8x Frag

Overview:


 
Additional Notes:  Some play area is hidden by the cliffs (they overhang).  The coliseum walls on the right hand side of the map are no longer present.  I deliberately avoided coloring any pieces, as I think Ravine is so much prettier without that.  It shouldn't be hard to tell where you are on this map . . . coloring just adds clutter.

looks like a good flowing map, with areas for some great distance and CQB lines of sight, it reminds me of a smaller version of the Narrows

Can you show on your overview where the teleporters are? If you need testers, send me a FR @ n0mnom321.
