Site Update - January 6th


Forge like a Pro
Fritzer and Kon Artist's MLG contest is now at its end. The basic run down of Forge like a Pro: run by two highly respected members of the MLG community, you were to submit your (foundry) MLG map in the proper category. Once the time is up, these two will judge each map, decide and announce the winners. We hope to hear back soon, we're all anxious to see the results.

Lazy Mapmakers Contest
The third instalment is also at its end. In this time of interlocking and geomerging anything and everything to each other, this contest implores just the opposite. The point of the LMC is to create a map with no interlocking or geomerging to prove that technique is not everything and to emphasize design. Judging will begin soon, look out for the results in the near future.

Off Topic and Warned Members
Those of you who have been unfortunate enough to wear the warned rank lately may have noticed that you don't have access to the Off Topic sub-forum. This is no accident nor is it something that is in need to be fixed. In an attempt to help rid the site of unwanted activities, members who have 3 or more valid infractions no longer have the privilege of Off Topic.

Regicide
Created by: Fritzster
Recommended Gametypes: MLG Team Slayer, MLG Oddball, MLG KOTH
Recommended Players: 8

From its conception in sketch-up, Regicide has been one of the most anticipated MLG maps of 2008. Fritzster breathes new life into MLG, by leaving the familiar 2-base symmetrical layout for a far more complex design. Regicide is an asymmetrical, abstract work of art that plays like a masterpiece. The map consists of four main areas: Sniper tower, OS room, Red base, and Blue base. These four unique structures are connected with ramps and catwalks that cut through the air aggressively. The combination of solid structures and weightless walkways create some unique shooting angles, cover, and tactical jumps.

Creating a map within budget that looks great is an accomplishment few can claim. However, Fritzster raises the bar by creating an asymmetrical playground that is awe-inspiring and yields non-linear gameplay that is shockingly balanced. As you play multiple games on this, you will realize and assuredly welcome its refreshing nature. Each battle plays out like a beautiful symphony that is never redundant. Regicide is a testament to careful planning, painstaking building, and grueling testing. Regicide is currently being considered for use in the next MLG season. As a result, the MLG community, has become more accepting of visionary map designs for competitive play.

Tremor Blast
Created By: Creep1ng De4th

Gametypes Supported: Tremor Blast
Recommended Players: 8-16

Ever think what would happen if you mixed TrueDarkFusion’s Tremors with Mastar’s Tremor N’ Mouse? Tremor Blast is the illegitimate child we’ve been waiting for. The players are thrust into an “Iced Valley” full of tunnels, pillars & ramps. The Tremors hunger for the taste of human flesh and will stop at nothing to keep the players from capturing the flag. At the most there are 4 tremors who must use tactics and cunning to outsmart and out drive the faster mongooses.

The players with mongooses have access to a few bruteshots to help with their journey but other than that they are practically defenseless. A good driver is able to outrun and out maneuver the slower tremors but any mistake will usually cost the driver one of their five lives. The valley is forged excellently with all the boxes merged seamlessly into the ground and designed to create optimal maneuverability without limiting the playing area too much. Tremor Blast is a welcome remix to one of Forgehub’s longest running gametypes.
