New map: Caricature

[phreekopath]

Those of you who know me pretty well know that lately I've been somewhat perturbed at the desire for, and subsequent influx of, H1/H2/H3 map remakes. Given the tools that we have (Forge) and the time and effort people put into remaking a map that not everyone liked to begin with, and usually doing a terrible job at it, why not turn it around and do something creative, unique, and best of all NEW. Admittedly, there are some features of some maps that were great, and they played certain things well, while they didn't do so well on others. I've taken some of the maps I've enjoyed over the years, threw them all into a bottle, filled it with water, shook it up to make sure it was well mixed, then ran over it with a truck. I now present to you: Caricature.

Currently untested, looking for to4's to skrim on it for me.

Primarily designed for slayer only, unsure how flag or bomb would play on it. Currently, there are no spawns for objective. There are also no power weapons at this time.

WEAPONS
DMR x 5
Needle Rifle x 3
Magnum x 3
Plasma Pistol x 2

GRENADES
Frag x 6
Plasma x 4

Built with just over 6K, I'm hoping there won't be any screen lag issues. I haven't seen any while building it, but there was never more than 2 players in the game, and there weren't weapons and bodies and grenades flying everywhere.
