    Singularity

    Good Evening!

    This is a circular map built for 1v1 and FFA based on MLG settings.
    The design is inspired by Derelict, Desolation and The Large Hadron Collider that was turned on today. If you are reading this then the world has not been pulled into a man made black hole.

    The map is setup with 8 starting points but due to the size and nature of the map playing FFA with more than four people may get a little insane, but try that if you like insane.

    The are 4 Carbines located at the top of the stairs to the circle, 4 BRs located around the inner clicle, 4 frags located around the inner structure and 4 plasmas located in the floor level access points to the circle. Starting points and respawns are not in the centre circle.

    For the stat fiends out there the map took around 12 hours to build with about 12 hours put into a prototype, I started again because I wanted the circle to be a little bigger.

    Please leave any suggestions for improvements or feedback on problems here.
    Thanks to Atticus for testing with me.

    Baron

    This looks like it could have some good gameplay to it, I like the interlocking also. But it seems within two seconds after the game has started there are already shots fired. Its not that big of a problem, anyways looks good

    Baron, when I saw this map after you sent it to me yesterday I about cried. I've been working on a very similar structure and was in the process of retooling it and seeing how great this is showed me how much my map sucks. I love/hate you.

    BTW, people need to be aware of the awesome slanted crane merge you did. That first picture doesn't show it off like it should.

    Great map, man.
    haha. I actually made an account on here to comment about this map.

    Anyways, awesome MLG 1 v. 1 map (Better than Guardian 1 v. 1's). Haven't tried FFA but it seems like it would be hectic.

    I think if you cleaned up the interlocking on the bottom and interlocked the bridges to top mid, this would have to be the best map I have ever seen.

    Overall, 5/5. Nearly perfect.
    PM me if you do decide to fix those errors, so I can be on the look out for v2.

    the interlocking and aesthetics are great, gameplay must be pretty good too, design is well done.

    good job

    somewhere in between 4.5/5 and 5/5 lol

    this loooks really great especially for MLG i do think it could possibly work as a king of the hill map aswell but thats just me. everything looks nice and neat i like the use of the bridges providing aesthetics and cover so all in all i give it a 5/5 i will be waiting for your next map if you decide to make one

    Looks nice, just dosn't look like an MLG map, Not enough areas to setup, only really one main point on the map (Usually atleast two), Aesthetics A+

    You need to stop trolling peoples threads. This map was designed for 1v1 and small FFA's. Read people threads before you go posting nonsense everywhere.

    You know I'm kinda of surprised this map was overlooked. You always seem to make great MLG maps, and this was a little underrated. Although it may appear simply circular in design, this played out quite enjoyably. Probably the only drawback was how restricted the gametypes were, but dang this was a great little 1v1 warm up before dropping into matchmaking with a buddy.

    Baron, you really are something when it comes to MLG.

    Congratulations on your brand new, stupid post. You not only made an uninformed, rude comment but it also is spam because it offers nothing of value. Please don't make any more rude, uninformed comments. Baron puts so much thought, time, and consideration into making his maps and this is one of his greatest. It ticks me off that people like you feel like tearing down people who put in honest work to make great maps.

    EDIT: The user that posted the quoted comment either deleted his comment or it was deleted for him, but I keep it here so all can see it.

    Thanks for the comments man, this was actually one of the least-thought out-before-forging maps that I have built. Im really guilty of moving onto new ideas without putting in the effort to improve maps that I have already made, but that is about to change.

    Map looks very nice, love aesthetics. Looks breakble tough, if grav is normal then you can jump on roadblocks, then on crane then out map. Well that is what it looks like from the pics...

    I find that very very surprising seeing as this map's layout was, as thought by me and other members, a great map. We very thoroughly enjoyed the map. THe design was simple, but good at that. I dunno, but really Omni, that was even more amazing. And thats on the front page as I speak.
