    I'm drunk. But I'll try....


    Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww

    dude I loved this shizzle.

    Awesomejuice map. I really liked it. It played like MLG but with a bit of a casual feel to it. I really like that.

    I love the general layout. the top ramp from teleporter. the window side walkway. the rocket spawn the sniper spawn crows nest. It all flows together very well.

    Yoiu have all done an excellent job.

    One thing I disliked and like at the same time:

    It was rather annoying how by custom powerup spawn there is no way to get to level 1 height apart from the two ramps at either side of the map.
    It would be really handy if there had been maybe a geo merged box somewhere there to make it easier to get to level 1 so you don't get closed out so easily.

    I can see why you did this though.
    It makes it pretty cool for people grabbing the Custom Powerup, as they can grab it then nade jump while its charging to get to level one then head under the bridge and charge those rockets.

    Ruthless. Some original thinking. I love how y'all didn't make this map just like all the other MLG maps out there got original and made it your own style.

    It's unique. I like that.

    Another thing I thought was really sweet was the use of the teleporter up to the top.

    it can really switch up the gameplay. It provides a good escape route. But not too good. The opposition still know where you're going and can easily penetrate you with their team BRs as soon as you get out of the teleporter.

    this makes it a good escape route, but not toooo good if you know what I mean.

    It doesn't let the winning team just camp tele to wait out the round.

    It provides temporary cover for shield recovery but not too easy. You still have to stay on your toes.

    Infact this whole map revolves around staying on your toes.

    Alot of ninja jump assassinations.
    especially in the back corner below the teleporter walkway.

    good times raping Shad0w Viper n' Tex :p

    But seruislyyyyy like this map. Plays spectacularly. and looks like sex.

    Wonderfull job.

    Again. sorry for rubbish post.

    maybe If I remember I'll make it better

    wow man this looks sweet.

    The geomerging and interlocking look really well done and the layout of the map and execution of the layout and gameplay looks great.

    I really like the multiple floors feeling and the tunnels look well forged.

    So great map and will download.

    Good job!

    it would be cool if another version of this map was made, with the unlimited budget, so you can add more things like barriers, so it is "prettier" otherwise great map.

    Nice asymmetric map, reminds me of the Halo CE map Damnation and that custom power up grenade jump thing to rockets is almost exactly the same as what happens on damnation.......

    Yes, that is what NeXn was aiming for while deisgning the map. He wanted it feel exactly like Damnation and one of the msot important things he wanted on the map was the grenade bounce from OS to rockets.

    I am glad people like the map and yes we know it doesn't look pretty but in order for the people from MLG's forge forum to really look at the map is to stay within budget. Otherwise it has framerate and causes lag. There is a matchmaking version of the map though, it was created to be submitted to the Bungie ATLAS. The only changes are weapon placements and nade placements. The map name for that particular map is Flux, what we originally wanted to name the map but for reasons that don't really concern you was named Xyience. That map could be found in xZonKeD's fileshare and there is also an MLG One Flag variant that was created to play with Xyience II.

    If anybody is interested in testing the matchmaking version so i can get some gameplay videos of the map please add me at: xZonKeD. I will be looking to test most of the day today and it would be great if i can post the map to the ATLAS as soon as possible.

    I love playing on this map, it's just too bad I haven't been able to get a full party on it. I think it is good enough to make it into the pro circuit as a slayer map, which I think it would play best on, and it would defiantly be better than Amplified was.

    Dude this was REALLY original.
    It just needs more cover, and I'd replace the Custom Powerup with some invis.
