Original Map --- Divide

[Cadillac]

Okay Its finally done. I spent around 40 hours on it, or over a week. It has very good attention to detail. Not only do signs show sides, but so do the barriers. It has unconventional ways of using the simple objects we are given. Its balanced nicely, has different heights, and quick access to a majority of the spots. Aesthetically its by far the most beautiful map Ive seen forged. Its not nearly as bland as the majority of maps Ive seen. Anyways I dont know how to upload my video or pictures so if someone could help me with that I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the link to my file share. The map is in slot 1, the flythrough in slot 2, and 3-6 are screenshots.

Okay I uploaded some screenshots. I realize that I should have taken them with nothing on the screen, but forgive me for being stupid. I have a fourth image that shows more of the bases, but couldnt get it to upload right. If you want to see it, its in my fileshare. I got someone to upload my flythrough and hopefully it will be up tonight if all goes well.

This map has been set up for:
TS
2 Flag CTF
Oddball
KOTH.

It features:
2 Sniper with only a clip
1 Shotgun
1 Invis
2 Plasma Rifles
2 Assault Rifles
BRs
Carbines
2 Fire Grenades

Minor changes are still going to made to BR/ Carbine spawns. Possible removing of fire grenades. Spawning is getting better but may still need tweaks. However, overall its nearly complete.

Oh and after you download leave some feedback, suggestions, or general comments.

Okay after several rounds of playing 2v2s on my map I have found that it doesnt play nearly as well as it looks. Regardless, for lack of better competition I still believe its one of the best if not THE best original map out right now. Visually its stil the most diverse and pleasing to the eyes.

The problems I found came with too many quick escapes, unbalancing of weapons, and a general problem with the U shape of the map.

This post is primarily to tell you that I am certainly going to make changes. While I realize that MLG doesnt use the shotgun I dont feel as though its extremely over powered on some maps. For example a shotgun on Guardian is absurd and should be replaced by a mauler. However, you can put two shotguns on a nice open map like The Pit and you hardly ever die by them. I thought my map fell into that category but I was wrong. A mauler, or perhaps a sword will be replacing the shotgun.

Overall expect a large update to this map to hopefully fix the gameplay issues. Also expect a second map from me with the same attention to detail, but hopefully I will get the gameplay side right.

Once again while this isnt a positive update, Im not knocking my map by any means. Its by far the best looking map, has great attention to detail, and plays better than any other map ive played with exception to KC's FFA. I still recommend you download it, give me feedback, and help me turn it in to a classic.

Sorry buddy but this map is not good at all, guys don't waste your time downloading this one until some changes are made.

Whats wrong with it?

Sloppily made
There are ways out of the playing area
No surface is really smooth
Not ideal for MLG play
The maker is ignorant and thinks its the best map

It's not even all that great to look at, do yourself a favor and go actually play on some of the better maps out there instead of toting your own as the best nub.

Just a few things:
1. I spent around 50 hours on it. It is by no means sloppily made. Every side matches nearly perfectly. Boxes,crates, etc. are all lined up. Attention to detail is without a doubt there.

2. The majority of the map is the bottom level. Its completely smooth. Im not sure where you getting this. Im beginning to wonder if you got my map confused with someone elses

3. Ideal for MLG play? Its completely symmetrical. Weapons are being balanced. I've said myself im not a fan of its U shape. Either way there is no reason its wouldnt be good for MLG play.

4. Ignorant? Every person that puts their map on here thinks theirs is the best. Im atleast willing to update and admit the flaws in my map.

Im betting that this is someones second account just knocking my map because they dont like me. Either way ive played many rounds on it, and the problems you mention are far from what other players have mentioned. Most everyone agrees it looks great, but just isnt playing smoothly right now. Im working on that, and playtesting it.

Thanks a lot. Im currently doing a lot of work on this map, and it honestly looks nothing like it did. I think that when this map makes a come back. It will look entirely different, and hopefully play better. Hell if it keeps changing I may have to change the name as well.

Anyways ill send you a FR and I appreciate the offer to help.
