I. First off Notes

This is like my 50th map post here on forgehub, but this is my first competitive map post. I used to post my maps here, bungie, and on the xbox.com forums. After I posted one of my maps on the xbox forums. A couple of MLG guys told me I should use my forge skill and make a unique MLG map that is different than most.

I laughed at the thought of, me, making a competitive map, but then I really got the urge too. I told myself that before I went and made an MLG map, that I would have to do some research.

I looked at Onslaugt, Amplified, and other various MLG maps. People told me they wanted something different. Something out of the box. I realized I wasn't going to make a normal box shaped arena with some random structure in the middle. I even thought to myself, "why even make the map symmetrical?"

I was set. I had my mind on making a unique, asymmetrical, MLG map for the ages. After a few weeks of forging I came out with MLG X-TA-C.

II. Map Description

MLG X-TA-C is an asymmetrical map that features 2 symmetrical flag cap points. The map sustains MLG TS v5 and MLG MULTI FLAG.

Attackers and Defenders spawn across from each other on two differently sized bases. Defenders spawn at purple base, which is the larger of the two bases and actually has some more cover. Attackers spawn at a smaller Yellow base, with less cover. I bet your thinking "WTF THIS KID IS STUPID FOR DOING THAT"

Well, listen up. Purple base has 1 entrance to top mid, while Yellow, has 2 ways up to top mid. It evens out the gameplay quite a bit.

This map defers itself from many other MLG maps in many different ways.

One of the most unique things about this map is the way you can obtain the one sniper rifle on the map. Once you spawn, you will look under the top platform. You will see a floating fusion coil(I know MLG doesn't use fusion coils...oh well). The sniper is resting on the fusion coil. You have to shoot the fusion coil to make the sniper fall. So, the first battle of the map is pretty much over the fallen sniper.

When you are playing MULTI FLAG, you will notice that you don't spawn next to your flag. You will see that your flag is in either in the middle east of the map or the middle west of the map. You will see more in the pictures. There are 4 different structures in all four corners of the map.

IV. Final Notes

-Once you play this map, you will realize that the matches will go kind of quick.

-I took these pictures before I added one more structure in the middle of the map. SO, once you DL and play it, you might notice something a little bit different in the middle.

-After a lot of testing. Gameplay is equal for both sides. No side has more of an advantage than another. I have won many matches being on both sides.

-When playing MULTI FLAG. You will notice people will try to grab the flag and run straight back down the middle. Bad idea. You will get taken out because you are in open terrain. It is best to take the flag up through one of the bases or even go as high as top mid.

Kk I am done typing now. I hope you guys like it. It will be a different MLG experience for you, trust me!
