Description:

The concept behind dry dock was simple, make a map centered around some sort of ship. It really started out with just making the ship for something to do, then evolved into what I hope will turn out to be a reasonably fun map.

Right now it only supports FFA slayer, though I'm working on adding a lot of the other game modes as well once I look into doing so properly. As well this is an early build, there are a few possible changes, I plan to update this thread once I have everything 100% complete, including all game modes. As usual I just like to know what people think, and any tips or help that can be offered are always a plus.

The level design is fairly simple, there's an open area where the landing pads are with scattered cover. Across from the landing pad area is a storage bunker of sorts with a mancannon to the top of the control tower atop it.

The main base itself consists of the gravity lift room, the transporter room, and the comms building. Inside makes for some very close quarters combat (Luckily some forgetful spartan left his trusty shotgun in the control tower.)

There are two transporter rooms with three transporters each, all two way. These rooms link the Dry dock to the Facility. Once onto the Dry Dock platform it's a straight shot to the hatch of the ship (The SR3, if anyone gets the reference. xD) Inside the ship you can go left or right, left ending in the cockpit and a dead end, right taking you to the main interior and engine room. In the middle of the interior is a gravity lift which will propel you up on top of the ship. (There are a few goodies scattered around up there, including a banshee. Did I mention there are two banshees on this level? Hopefully balanced out by a few power weapons and lots of cover.) And thats pretty much it. I havn't had much of a chance to play test, though me and a few friends had a few very amusing and hysterical kills on this map! (See the pictures below!) So give it a download if it's something you think you'd like, I appreciate any and all feedback.
