    Syphon is a map that originally began as a project by Eightball. However, due to him becoming lazy and no longer wanting to complete it, it was put up for adoption.
    Which is where I come in! I adopted Syphon and have been working on it for about a month or so. It's going to be submitted to the 1v1 Smackdown: Forge Contest and will eventually be posted to the site once other testing has been completed.
    Well, there isn't much else to say. There's a download link at the bottom of the post. Feel free to play a few games on it and give me some C&C!

    Kinda hard to get a feel for the layout from the pics, but it looks pretty good nonetheless. Wouldn't mind getting a game on here.

    The aesthetics are great, though. I love the way you used the grass and the rocks in the center.

    Correct me if I'm wrong. You submitted this to smackdown without testing? Testing could reveal any quick changes that should be made. Although the map looks amazing. I guess you couldn't wait. I'd like to play on this. Send me an invite, cause you really should test it.

    I just played this, and I love it, I think I found a new 1v1 map to add to my book with friends. I enjoyed the elevation and flow through the map. Those double doors are really sexy.

    in the second last picture your 2x2 ramp leads bellow a 1x2 block which i think goes right into the ground? so the side of the 1x2 block will be right in the way of the 2x2 ramp, no?
    if i'am right you might want to change it, i cant get on my xbox atm so i cant go and see but from the pics it looks like its an easy fix:))

    also in your 3rd pic the intersecting braces should be changed because there is a noticeable bump when you walk over them:))

    and in the last pic your ramp in the bottom right of the pic is coming through the brace which you should fix as the bump it creates is annoying as hell, also the brace above the ramp should be covering the 1x1 tall and thin like th other braces next to it in the wall, it would just look nicer:))

    p.s. i know i'am nit picking but i do it with every map i obsess over the aesthetic 's :D

    I like what you've done with the place, J. I'll have to get a game on the finished version of this with you.

    Did you fix the tele? I think Mingo might have mentioned that it felt awkward or something along those lines.

    Yeah, afraid you're wrong on that one. :p Syphon was tested numerous times before it was submitted to the contest.
    Yes, a small part of it was sticking out. However, during the tests it was never really a problem. I did end up adding a rock piece there though. The pictures are just a little outdated :p

    The braces in the 3rd picture do make it look like there is a large bump, but I can assure you that isn't the case.

    You're last point was something that I decided to fix once I posted the preview thread.
    Damn right you will. <3

    And I believe I did. After I added in the height change to that area it was no longer brought up.

    P.S
    Forgot to mention, apologies for the terrible pictures. They don't really show off the map that well :p
