    MIDSPHERE
    Forgeworld:Slayer:MLG/Competative:2-6 best

    Midpshere: Tangent to every edge of the polyhedron

    Now while my map Midsphere is not a perfect 'midsphere', the name does fit.
    Originally this map was going to be a remake of Octagon.
    But I wanted to go above and beyond that. I was going to make it have as many sides as possible
    That got hard. I was at 16 sides (2-D) and looked back at the map.

    I realised, I could have a ceiling on the map.
    [​IMG]
    After making that, I realised I could make a floor too.
    [​IMG]
    After finishing that, I put a flat top+bottom, making this shape have a total of 50 faces.
    Then I cut the sphere in half, with a grid, cause playing on ramped floor would be lame.
    I wondered, what to name it.
    Sphere?
    Ball?
    Pentablablabla?
    No.
    Midsphere.

    So Midsphere. Midpshere is a competative/MLG map that was inspired by the popular forged map from Halo3, Octagon. Midsphere serves essentially the same purpose. For those that dont know, Octagon was a "warp up" map used by many competative players to warm up their BR/Sniper, or face off 1v1. A lot of people liked it. I hope the same for Midsphere.

    Midpshere can be played with many slayer variants, but it is best played with MLG, or Midsphere slayer (which is linked).

    Have fun, please rate+download+comment+love it.

    DMR/BR Arena maps are actually better when they have slanted surfaces because it makes you look along the x-axis AND the y-axis rather than just the x-axis like octagon where you never have to look up or down the whole game unless the other kid jumps.

    True yeah. But on a lot of maps you encounter pretty close to even-floor DMR fights. So while making slants and even some cover would help, there is a reason Octagon was so popular in Halo3.

    And I coulda posted it in Competative. Oh well. Thanks for the comments
