My Opinion - I liked what Fleabus did with Raven so I decided to check out his other stuff and came across this map. When I first saw the level for the first time I thought it looked plain, but as I did my usual fly by in the forge I noticed that the map wasn't actually that the map was plain it was that it was neatly organized and perfectly symmetrical. There is a floating perfect circle made out of interlocked wall pieces that hangs above the level and in its center appropriately placed is the energy sword. I studied the lay out of the high ground against the low ground and I was impressed to find that there was plenty of cover beneath. Using a barrier of wall pieces Fleabus sealed off the rest of foundry to form a perfect square where the map's symmetry takes shape. One would think this would make Foundry seem smaller, but this isn't the case. I found as I made a few run-throughs that Foundry actually seemed bigger because it stands three stories tall. I also noticed that the spawn points were very balanced and after a few test plays I found spawn killing was not an issue.

This level is simple and subtle, yet it is unique and it's perfection shines through to its gameplay. I did a test game witha couple of people I pulled in from a big team slayer battle. We played through all the available variants and they all played through with high regard.

This map is exactly what you want in symmetrical arena and in my honest opinion, not only should everybody in this group download this map it should be shared with everyone else. I believe it is so good that it is worthy to be played a a variant in a matchmaking playlist.
