Artifice. Designed by Whos Blaze and Forged by Whos Blaze and Mr Pokephile was originally a part of a map pack previously released though after months and months more of testing multiple changes and fixes, I've decided to release the updated version. Goodbye 5k downloads, lets hope this one will do a little better.

Artifice is one of the larger, more segmented fours maps set in the deep space of Impact. Putting the design aside for a moment, a notable aspect of the map is its unique choice of weaponry that includes two Scattershots, a Concussion Rifle, and an Energy sword. As with the design, the three weapons encourage and cater to short-range engagements, heavily emphasizing close-combat gameplay. However, Artifice does not feature such gameplay exclusively. Blaze and Pokephile have purged any complaints about a lack of range variety through the addition of several lines of sight that span across the design making for a solid mixture of encounter types. If you can manage a lobby of eight, Artifice is a must play.

Recommended 4-8 players. 2v2 for tactical team play and set ups or 4v4 for facepaced somewhat chaotic objectives. Set up for Team Slayer varients, CTF, Oddball, KOTH and Extraction but exceeds in CTF, Team Slayer and extraction. CTF works best with a quick stand on return time and flag at home to cap.

The map is designed for distinctly different areas of combat where each starting weapons range have their advantages and disadvantages. The tactical jumps in artifice give players who can think on thier feet and exicute them an upper hand in mobility and some combat situations.
