Map Preview Spearhead

[Stevo]

Spearhead
Spearhead is my 1v1 submission for the Forge Hub contest. I'm still tweaking it here and there, and trying to get feedback from a variety of players.
It is a symmetrical arena so it represents an even environment both players can experience from the very start of the match. The asymmetric element is in the central area where most of combat seems to occur.
Fair starts, with a mostly varied area of combat.

Feedback so far has mostly been positive, and the weapon set and style of the map makes players feel like they enjoyed the game (even in cases where players do not like 1v1s).

Weapons/Powerups
Rocket Launcher - Spawns at start - no Respawn - 0 clips
Sniper Rifle - Delayed Spawn - 2 minute exact timer from countdown start (not game start) - 0 clips
Active Camo - Delayed Spawn - 150s Respawn from game start

But Steve, what about Nexogen? Let's remake that for this contest!

This looks pretty nifty, though. Your single-use rocket launcher is an interesting idea. I suppose how well it works is a function of its placement and the map's geometry. Should be interesting. We shall play some time.

Haha totally! Energy bridge rules!

It's a head start for someone if they use it right. It also puts pressure on the very first conflict and since players spawn facing each other, it adds that extra tension from the very beginning.
After the initial combat I've found the gameplay slows a lot more based on the game type and conflicts are much more close range.
The sniper rifle can be utilised for the longer sight lines but the camo is certainly the big dog in terms of power "weapons" especially with the assault rifle.
