Proof Of Concept:
consider "concept cars' produced once a year for the big auto maker car shows. You see them, you drive them, you get ideas, you see new directions provided by others that you yourself have not thought of.
the POC Battle Arena maps I've released in the other thread are just that - an alternative way of looking at a break away from the norm for advantages the perspective may provide.
concepts:
Faster paced game play due to protected default spawns and NO default bases.
Builders more vital than in regular maps.
Teamwork MORE important than in other maps.
(for example, you won't get an arm if everyone doesn't protect the builder)
That wide open areas and large playing fields CAN BE both an advantage and a drawback for either team.
You would have to try those maps on multiplayer with a nice full server to get what I'm saying.
Some things can't be placed into words.
