Contest for "Red faction unite 5" (RFU5). Make a map that is heavily inspired from an existing game. For this I choose
Shadowgrounds Survivor by Frozenbyte which is a top down shooter and recommend anyone to look into it. Frozenbyte is a small but talented development team who make top quality games, be sure to check their other games.

Originally the submission date was very short and i started the map rushing, later the submission date had massively increased but didn't want to go back on myself. Maybe this map could have been a little better.

I tried really hard to have full geo in this map which i just managed to do. I have found only in recent years that geo is very entertaining to the player as well as changing the outcome of a maps game play.

The visuals fit perfect in Red Faction, the item layout is really nice, the geometry is fantastic, and wow that chaingun. I am still in awe of how well it works. Great work BATEMAN! I can't wait to play this map at Game Night this weekend.
