Review of the Map(Couldn't post in comments, too long)
Great map, have tried it twice with a couple of friends. It's well done and though you can easily die, you can just as easily survive if you know what you're doing.

Now, I'm going to go into my biggest gripes about this entire map so far, mind you, we have played it twice, and neither time have we beaten the Balrog. The last time we got it down to a quarter HP before it physically blocked us into a corner.

1. The chance for specific weapons in the box is absolutely and utterly horrendous. The chance of getting any kind of "wonder weapon" seems to be nearly zero. I say this, because I spent over 120,000 points on the box, and couldn't get a simple rocket launcher for one of the challenges. I did not, at any point using those 120k points, get any form of what this community knows as a, "Wonder Weapon."

2. The amount of health the Balrog has. Don't get me wrong, I know it's a boss, and it's supposed to be tough, but when three people, with upgraded, high damage weapons, are STRUGGLING to kill the boss? It's health is set just a tad too high.

3. The awful ass flashlight that shines on just about every sight that makes it nigh impossible to aim down some sights. A great example is the Outlaw. With the flashlight, it makes it visibly impossible to use the scope, as it becomes one giant white blur that offends the eyes. It is akin to getting flash banged by your friends in Discord.

4. Damage Models, I don't know why most of the guns feel like I'm shooting BBs at zombies by round 6 or 7, but it's kind of awful. The damage fall off on a lot of the guns makes trying to get "good" guns via RNG from an already awful RNG box maddening.

Other than these four key problems, I really don't see anything wrong with the map. However, for the problems I've listed, it's an easy 3.5/5.
