FFA Super Abyss

Map Info
FFA Super Abyss is large 8 person Free For All map that has easily defendable natural and third. Other expos are shared so you have to fight for them. In the middle of the map there is "Super Xel'naga Tower" with increased range, which covers all four gold expansions in the middle that have 3 vespene geysers. The texture set is Braxis Alpha added few new textures on to it through data files.

Spectator mode
I decided to learn to use triggers because it was annoying to play ffa's with friends then have to leave if you end up dying and not be able to spectate the rest of the game. So now the map has built in spectator mode that should work without any problems.

Other info
I made this map because i couldn't find any decent maps to play with my friends and searching "FFA" ended up finding not so good maps. And the blizzard "ffa's" just aren't that good. This map is based on Blizzard's Abyss map but i felt like it was too small so decided to make this.

I have worked on this map quite a while now with the addition of the Arcade i decided to finish it and polish it. There still might be some bugs, I am currently aware of few small ones, trying to fix them right now. Would be appricieated if u could say if you encounter any bugs in game.

Find it on EU by searching for "ffa" or "superabyss" in the Arcade section. (it has marine arcade image) Please rate and review if you end up playing this map really would like to see your feedback.

Thanks for checking this out!

I feel like if we're making maps for FFA, an asymmetrical gametype, why not have asymmetrical maps? Sure, it would be imbalanced, but the whole FFA concept is imbalanced already, why not have fun with it?

Now I want to go faff about in the editor...

@Kmatt
I think it would drive me crazy if tried to create something asymmetrical.

Hope you fixed the issues with f.e. players leaving > whole map visible for all the remaining players like i wrote in the ingame feedback.

I would much rather play this in FFA over the current Blizz maps they have given us for FFA.

Me and my friends just discovered this map, and its awesome that you can spectate when you died, thats just what we were looking for, however this map is way too big for us. We are only 3-4 guys playing. Is there any chance of making the spectator thing work for normal Blizz maps? Is it hard to do? Is it something anyone else have the time to do? Let me know guys, we would love it!
