    Specialist Gametypes


    Hybrid is compatible with most gametypes. However, to get the best experience out of Hybrid download the specialist gametypes:





    Tips


    • The action shot, 'BR v Oddball', guy who dies with the oddball. right behind him is a place where everyone seems to try and camp with the ball. Get on the bridge above and flush them out with grenades.

    • Things can get pretty hectic in the middle, especially in KOTH, my advice is to take the shotgun and clear it out. However, if there you are not really a 'Close-Quarters' person, try and get the sniper and control the middle for your team.

    Wow this map looks very interesting and original exspecially because of the structure in the middle. Thats the part that makes this map stand out.

    I love the interlocking and weapon layout, good Job

    I absolutely dislike MLG but this is splediforous :D

    the map's layout doesn't have that 'made in 5 min, ripped off of onslaught' look to it. While it is symmetrical down the middle it most definitely sets itself apart from the others. The gameplay was golden, as I was able to get a some games of CTF and Slayer in on it. The weapon layout compliments the map in many ways. I'd lastly like to just say congrats on the sexyness ^_^

    ver. interesting layout
    i like the organic yet geometric design to theis map
    the grunt ramp is awsome, dont see spectacularly simple yet insane pieces of forging like that to often

    What i really like about this map is the different layers in the map. The map has good interlocking. I didnt see any geomerging, but i could be wrong. Not that i care if it does, but if it did i would critique it.

    Looks pretty sweet although the center walkway thing looks like it might be in need of some cover.

    It does have geomerging the double boxes in the bases are merged into the wall. Plus, we'd love a review LOL

    Hey, it was really fun testing this map, the competitive gameplay was great. i see you took out the mancannons, which was probably for the better. even though you have 3 power weapons, they pretty much cancel each other out. and the equipment placements are great. fun map!

    Your work looks great, I like it, but I see more of an arena feel to this with the center, I dont mean to say go change it or anything but I think the two bases thing may not be needed, its looks like a cool foundation style thing going you know? Ill check it out? Nice job bro.

    Hey Elite thanks for the special mention, that was really nice!

    To all people who download this game, get to the rockets! No one ever gets them and they just sit on top of the fence wall unnoticed, they destroy people in CTF, KoTH, Assault, pretty much any gametype.



    Review:

    Gameplay 9/10: THis map has one of the most intense gameplays I have seen in a Symmetrical map in a long time! The middle doesn't get as much action as you may think and saying so is usually a OK way to travel, watch out on the side though because people BR you quite a bit. The point deduction is that you can get spawn killed very easy if you spawn down below the second level and should try to get up top because you die slower when you above people in this map(with the exception of the rockets spawn, becuase you hugely visable).

    Creativity 8/10: I like how the bases have a hole in the back center, but this seems to be very common idea since MLG Onslaugh came out a while back. I very much enjoyed the middle how the diferent layers allow easy access to the second story and surprise ambush to the people below. All in all, very good layout and creativness for a symmetrical map

    Aestetics 8/10: The map has some cool Aestectic features in it, like the grunt walkway and the floating middle, but some of the walls could have been interlocked better(sorry didn't mention because I noticed after testing was done, sorry again) but that aside not much was eastetic, but a Symmetrical map cant get that aestetic or the gameplay usually isn't as great as this is!

    Overall 25/30: VEry good game, a must DL for all Symmetrical map lovers and for anyone who enjoys Competetive gameplay. This map is also unbreakable so no need to worry or even try to break it.

    nice map this one ill have to dl one suggestion i would take out one of the 3 power weps just so that it balances out caus if a team got a rocket launcher and a sniper a houtgun would almost be useles otherwise great pretty detailed and it is tootaly hectic in ffa
