MLG Requiem is a symmetrical map designed for MLG gameplay.
Design, spawns, weapons, and tweaks: Insane54
Map geometry: Sir Toppum Hat1

The first thing you'll notice when dropping into the map is probably the enormous hill in the very center of the map. Outlets and openings are all around it to open up gameplay and allow players easy access through the middle. The key thing to know about the hill is that it is extremely easy to grenade it from many areas, making it a very hazardous move to run across without teamwork, without the flag or not. However, all of those areas have multiple access points, making it dangerous to camp the hill. In this vein, risk and reward (the risk you take to get to a better weapon or advantage) and lines of sight (how much you can see from any given point) are particularly central in this map.

One of the most useful features in this map is a teleporter in the back areas of the map. This teleporter will transport you to the other 'wing' of the map, allowing you to flank the enemy or aid a teammate. Be careful though - it's easy for your opponent to camp the receiver node, should you be running in blind without reconnaissance of the area first. Another extremely useful area is the Purple platform. You will find access ramps between the back bases (orange and white), on top of which you can find a Battle Rifle and frag grenades, but most importantly, a hole for a devastating grenade barrage, should the enemy attempt to run through the middle. Controlling this vicinity will usually allow you to then control most of the map, giving your squad a immense advantage.

Requiem plays every gametype, but the best by far are MLG Onslaught Capture the Flag, MLG King of the Hill, and MLG Team Slayer. It also plays a very enjoyable Team Snipers or Team BRs game. You can find downloads for the aforementioned three gametypes in the download parts of this post.

When playing CTF, you should keep in communication with your team at all times. At certain times, different runs are better than others. For example, with the whole other team down, a run straight through the bottom or top offers the fastest way to get back, while if there are players around, your best bet might be the purple side. If the enemies are just spawning, yellow is probably the best move. In King, the hill moves in standard MLG 'V' formation, that is, the middle, to orange street, back to middle, and then to the white street and back to the middle. The hill moves every 2 minutes, along with a Custom Powerup at the same timing.

Thank you for reading, and enjoy MLG Requiem!

Notice at the end how we had a spawnkill. If you and your team have control of the map, you can spawn trap the other team and take a massive advantage. This is considered a good thing in MLG games.

Gameplay video coming soon.
