Shameful Plea   : Wanna hire me? Oh pleeeeeeease, I'd love to map
                  for a living. :] (oh please oh please...)

*** Info about the Map

Like some other maps out there, this is a sniper practice map, 
where two teams try to use long-range sniper attacks to decimate 
each other. I wanted to implement teamscores, but I can't get it 
to work without serious modifications to the map. So you'll just 
have to do the math yourself. :]

The difference between this map and other sniper maps is that I 
believe there are more sniping spots in this map than all the 
other sniper maps combined. There are 3 floors per base, each floor 
having at least 3 windows, some 4. Then there's an outdoor area 
that adds even more spots. Plus this map has quite a bit more 
ambience than other maps.

Hope you have fun with the map.
