Map 058 is a quintessential arena map. Two bases surround a central tower with walkways branching out in 4 directions. Weapon placement promotes movement around the arena, which can support a variety of team-based gametypes.
Design Goals:
Create a symmetrical map capable of supporting team-based games
Allow players many options for movement while not making it too open
Design an interesting and intuitive layout that can be learned quickly
The center ring and tower is the main focal point of the map. Players can converge onto this tower from any walkway, and it houses a grav lift within to take players from the ground to the top.
Both teams have access to a side base which includes weapons and a man cannon to the top level. Players can access this base from multiple walkways and levels.
Sightlines are important in any multiplayer arena and 058 has ample space for players to see across the map and into important areas, while also providing cover.
Players can see their options of man cannon and grav lift in the center right away from their initial spawn point.
Grav lifts by the side walkways give another option to get to the middle level. Both sides of the map have symmetrical grav lift placements.
Many walkways have drop-downs to further promote player movement between the different height levels and create opportunities for players to be sneaky tricksters.
