Today, part 3 in the Norstermination trilogy has been released! I encourage you to check out the other maps in the series.

In addition this map is in the updated Extermination playlist. Over the past several weeks I’ve made a number of changes to it in order to refine it and get it ready for matchmaking.

Here’s what’s new in the matchmaking version:

• adjusted grenade placement (thanks Max Extra)
• fixed a number of clambers throughout the map (although one is still a problem, grrr)
• adjusted the density of the center beam, making it less distracting when you are in top mid
• added a series of moving rings to the lift to better indicate that it is a lift. It sorta looks like one of those deposit tubes at a drive up ATM. This is my favorite addition and Natabase helped me with the scripting on this
• added a star wars themed easter egg on the map, good luck finding it

I cannot articulate how much it means to me to have not one but two maps in matchmaking, and I could not have done it without the help and support of the ATN team as well as all my buds in iForge. I feel compelled to specifically call out Duke of Mearl, Natabase, Ryouji Gunblade, INFINUT, Brusky0086, and Max Extra for pushing me to make the map better and in some cases contributing directly to it. I feel like I’ve come a long way from where I started as a forger, and I could not have done it without your support and friendship. You guys are the real heroes.
