Yet another map that simply popped into my head. I pictured two large octagonal structures on each side of a center set of structures, progressing from shortest at the outsides, to tallest at the center. And connect a bunch of octagonal platforms/towers with slender walkways. So I love making people pay for being clumsy by providing me with endless laughter. Schadenfreude at its finest.
This one is a bit more congested and enclosed than The Abridged Version, and the spawns are much smaller, but there are two spwns per color. The spawns for CTF and CAH are simple: spawn either East or West, and either use the doors to exit, or one of the four teleports. The teleports are simple as well: The two on the right send you to the top of the octagonal "Core" on your right, while the ones on the left send you to... wait for it... the octagonal "Core" on your left. So, even if you spawn in your left spawn, you CAN easily get to the right side by using the appropriate teleport in your spawn. The fact that the right teleports ALWAYS go right, and the left teleports ALWAYS go left makes them (nearly) idiot proof.
Additionally, this Abridged includes lifts! To the East and West on both sides, you will find a life at the lowest level on the outer East and West edges built into the octagonal platforms. If you get to that lowest platform and find a big column instead of a nice lift waiting for you, simply use the bind you set for opening a door, and et viola! Lift returns for you. There are also lifts in the rear center lowest platform on each side (center North and South) that will take you to the 3rd level. The minimap shows where these lifts are if you take the time to look.
The center structures are all slippery on top! But, do not worry too much, for if you do fall... sorry, strike that.. WHEN you do fall, you might be afforded a chance to try try again before being awarded with a glorious death. Falling into the Great Nothing will damage you. If you have full health, you SHOULD be able to walk off two times and still retain some health. A third time will definitely kill you without restoration of health. If you do survive the fall, you will be ever so gently teleported above the top center structures, spit out, and you will fall toward the center, 3rd floor walkway on the same side you fell. Fall off in the North, get spit back out into the North above the 3rd floor cetner walkway. Fall in the South, your clumsy ass gets laughed at and tossed out in the South above the 3rd floor center walkway. See? Aren't I a kind and benevolent being?
