Like most of my maps this one started as just a 'grain' of an idea (heh). The alpha version of this map was a very dark and bleak looking affair which was the way I wanted it at first - it was meant to be some sort of industrial tipping site.
I wasn't happy with the map as it looked though and I brainstormed for a while and thought about turning it into a blackhole. Then I came up with the definitive look of the map and turned the whole thing into a fight within an hourglass. This version of the map is fundamentally unchanged from the original design but now looks awesome too!

Dancing around the hourglass is great fun. Killing your opponents with a SSG in this steep arena is another matter. Perhaps another weapon or two...maybe a plasma gun at the bottom?
