POSSIBLE REQUIREMENTS: All models are packed into the map, but if they do not show up, you can download the "Japan Content Pack".

If you are a fan of Titanfall 2, then chances are you have come across this level in the game before.

That's right! This map is my Titanfall 2 interpretation of every riflemens' training evaluation: The Gauntlet. In the game, riflemen undergo this "test" to become one the most experienced soldiers in the militia: a pilot. As a part of the militia SRS (Special Recon Squadron), the player acts as rifleman, Jack Cooper, who must undergo a kinesthetic agility test inside a psionic-neuro-amplification-virtual-reality-obstacle-course-simulation (a simpod) with his commanding pilot, Lastimosa. What Jack Cooper didn't realize was that he never needed an evaluation to become an acting pilot of Lastimosa's titan, BT-7274.
In this map you do. In the simpod, you are taken into a beautiful world where physics do not apply and stone prisms and water, can float.

MAP COMPOSITION:
-A river flows up stair steps (and teleports) as a basic navigation.
-Droplets from pools rain out through the ceiling.
-Ammo and weaponry fall from thin air into rooms to form together an arsenal (with an epic landing). Any parkour mod that allows wall running/climbing is recommended, not required.
-A firing range consisting of 5 targets (their textures were accustomed to the PS4 version of Titanfall 2)
-A gauntlet, which I will explain in the FAQ.
-Two temples containing some wall running exercises.

Something I want to point out:
You will notice Barney Calhoun sitting on a wood beam at the start of the game, and he will teleport to an area. Screen texts are there for communicative purposes to enact the scripting of Major Lastimosa in the original game. This is only an unfinished scripted sequence that I cannot get it to operate, though I could not delete the entire texts and npc_barney without defeating the player's purpose. I can delete them in the next update if you would like.

FAQ/Some questions you might have:

Q: When was this map first developed?
A: According to the map compile log, it says May 22 2018.

Q: Are there world brush/geometry errors?
A: Yes, but no significant source of them. But I would say that 50% of the map production was fixing "wack-o-mole" errors with black and unresponsive faces poping up, though I have never found one since the final compile. You can report to me anything strange in the comments below and I can add that to a future update.

Q: Is there that gauntlet test evaluation that most professional gamers brag about having the world record speed run?
A: Yes. There is that thing. But this one is "brag proof".

(the gauntlet is the agility "speed run" test, where the player runs through a simulator and shoots 15 IMC (npc_combine) soldiers in under two minutes. I've included a few accounted measures to a player running against variables such as combat skills percentage and the number of soldiers eliminated. Two boards are there: scoreboard, for competing high scores of other pilots, and your evaluation results)

Q: In Titanfall 2, there would be these hidden, blue, illuminating pilot helmets you have to collect. Is there at least one of those in this map?
A: Just one. Once you find it, press "E" (or your use key) to collect.

Thank you so much for giving this map a gaze and a try. I took inspiration from another map based on this setting and I thought that someone would like to see the entire level. I will be making small updates on this map such as HDR, cubemap, and fixes, which you are more than welcome to report. Enjoy!
