MLG Select

Select is an elongated bridge based symmetrical map designed for submission to MLG for their play list. It traces its primary source of inspiration back to H3's Narrows, however, it is far departed from that map in the same sense. This map ideal for MLG 3 Flag, however it supports Bomb, Territories, Slayer, Oddball and KotH strongly as well.

This map is a testament to what a open and supportive can accomplish. The original concept and design of this map is my work, however as time progress and I'd hit "forger's block" I started to bring in my peers for assistance. This slowly turned into a massive collaboration between Dawkins, Bleu and GreedyGuts with myself steering the way. A lot of the brace work branching off the main bridge to the streets is attributed to Bleu, however he was a also present to help with a lot of the forging over all. The base design is attributed to GreedyGuts and Dawkins. Greedy designed the original, however we could not implement it correctly with our Mancannons and thus Dawkins redesigned it to do so. The final base design was what I tweaked from the prior two. Over all we shared ideas and were very open to what each other had to say. While I was the final deciding factor in any matter, I placed much value on the input of the other forgers. This map would not have been possible without them.

I showed you this back when it was still in conceptual phase right? It's come a long way since... And has eaten up waaaaay too much time.

Game play is, as usual, phenomenal. Even better yet, of all my maps this one is the easier to port to non-MLG gametypes. There are a few points JPers can abuse, but those points are very open and offer little advantage. Points that would be game breaking have been soft killed.

I'm interested to see how this will be received here at FH considering the authorship and all. I honestly expect to get either ignored or trolled hard.

 

Done. I forgot how bad you guys are here about little thing.

 

@Titmar: Glad you gave it a chance and enjoyed it. I wish the shield doors weren't necessary, however, they're needed to catch the player from smashing against the wall as the heavy mancannons are the only one's strong enough to make the distance... And are too strong at that. :/

@Proxi: Thanks man. I probably should have included that video and written this up a little better to show this isn't exclusively for MLG. It's a bit funny how all the other MLG forgers here don't get their maps moved. Oh wait... They didn't piss off certain individuals like I did.
And to answer your question that seems to be missing now... It's because come people are lacking any sort of thickness to their skin. If you don't go out of your way to be "polite", they seem to take offense. Or rather, I'm a very rude and confrontational jerk.

@Bloo: Almost nabbed 2k downloads even with this getting kicked to a low traffic page. How 'bout dem apples.
Stalk by Bloo: See, It wasn't a bad thing after all, was it

@Stevo: Camo got patched a while back... Grab yourself a copy of the game types off match making and it works fine.

*EDIT*
Please stop stalking my posts and editing them. kthxbye.

 

Thanks every one who's supported this map. This is my last original for a long time to come. New versions are up in my fileshare, Select v2.2 for MLG and Select (CC) for standard game types.

 

I went over it with Killa KC the other day in forge. He told me a few small changes to make and said he's starting in-office testing on it after Dallas. There have been major changes to the map since the original post. Will update in the near future.

 

Thanks for the video Ducky. Loved it. Shame you posted it while the fileshare was down... Woulda loved to see my download count sky rocket from the vid.
