Map Description: I once played a BHD map online that was pure excellence. The layout, the placement of objects, vehicles and buildings was genious. But after spending hours looking for this map online without success, I decided to make it myself, only with my own additions to make it even better. Most of the map was just an image in my head at first but I improvised much of it as a went along, and tried to picture the way a battle would be fought in my head. 

The map can be played in several different ways. TKOTH, TDM and DM. You will notice there are A and B versions of the TKOTH / TDM maps. Like the default maps, blue and red team will be able to switch sides. It's a city map with boundaries, but if you're clever these boundaries can be surpassed and you'll be able to access other certain areas of the city, which may or may not be to your advantage, depending on the game type. I should imagine most of the fighting will take place on the rooftops, as I've set hundreds of ladders around a lot of the buildings, and also used as planks from one building to another. To emphasize the rooftop fighting, for TDM I've put in a PSP on a rooftop, including many other objects and structures, such as fixed machine guns behind sandbags, smaller adobe huts, two archway bridges extending across a street, etc. You will notice that most of the city is packed together quite tightly, except for one street which zigzags through the middle. This is where you'll find parked vehicles, and a secluded path revealing a downed chopper. 

Among other things, I implemented a bombed out building with 2 floors, inside a complex big enough to house a chopper. This chopper works! This particular complex is what teams will be fighting over in TKOTH. For TDM, there are three PSP's in total, but the object of the game will be to control all the PSP's, and try to overun the enemy base. Each team has base consisting of a weapons garage facility, defensive sandbag stations, mounted machine guns and an armoury. But it's by no means easy to defend your base. There are many alleyways, heaps of vegetation and rooftops all around to be weary of. DM, on the other hand, will place you in one of 16 random locations over the map.

Hope you enjoy this map. I've tested it with a couple of friends and without being biast, this is both my personal favourite, and personal best.
