MIZU: THE WATER ELEMENT
Mizu is japanese for water, found it when reading about zen gardens and it stuck with me. The idea behind this map started with the central pond. I then built going outwards from there to create a fast paced symmetrical map that can play ctf and team slayer. I originally felt the map was potentially too open but now that sprint is in I think it works well.
There are various ways to run the flag, similar to midship you can toss it top mid to another player, or run it bottom mid and take the lift up from under the base. I feel it would make for some really fast paced games. I used rocks to counter balance the metal and also to go with the zen garden vibe from the central pond (Forge needs fish :P)
I'm still looking for people to test the map with so if anyone is down hit me up (GT: a Swan ting), I'd love to run some 4s on it too see how it plays out. I'm still very open to changes and hope you guys will download and run through it.

Open to all criticism positive or negative all I ask is that it be constructive. For the aesthetics of the map I am still working on polishing the overall look but I wanted to get some feedback before it was all set in stone. Look forward to hearing back!
