    Articulation is a symmetrical map made for swat. It has four bases in the four corners of the map as well as a large center structure that is in the middle comprised of 8 Y-Intersections with Ramps leading to the top on all four sides. The blue and red side are separated by double walls. This map plays best with 4v4 but it is also a great 3v3 map or even 2v2.

    This is what the bases look like,

    Good looking aesthetically, but questionable in gameplay.. The effects make it too.. umm juicy haha. This reminds me of Warlock from the middle structure. I do like your walls in pic 3, very cool.

    Wow. This is almost as good as a feature. I don't see why you'd worry about people not being "benign". This map is sweet. The concept of it I'd give a 9/10, as it's virtually quadrasymmetical, and the whole centerstructure looks cool, and the maneuverability around the map looks fairly easy. The design of it is just as good. There's lots of cover and certain walls single out each section from oncoming gunfire. The centerstructures and the Red/Blue overpass and the constructive useage of the Y-tube are all examples to why I'm giving this a 9.5/10 on design. Granted, some spots are a little too open in my opinion. And the crafting of it is your best part. Flawless interlocking, can't even detect merging, but if it's there it's so good I can't even notice it. You're an expert in the arts of putting a map together. Your crafting skills deserve a 10/10, and overall this map deserves a 9.5/10. Just being "benign" with you.

    The design of this map is very unique and created beautifully, its all clean and looks great. Preferably I would have included a couple more stuctures, which reminds me I have a very similar structure to the one in the centre of yours in the map I'm currently making so don't think I've copied you.

    Its a shame I haven't got the time to play on it at the moment, its looks very good.

    An excellent map I think you put alot of time into forging and planning this map so the gameplay should be smooth I like those walls for cover as well as the centerpiece 5/5. Keep Forging!

    Can someone tell me whether or not the name has anything to do with the map, because I'm positive it doesn't. I realize most maps just try to use larger vocabulary to sound smart, but as for the people who actually know what the word you used to name your map means, it's really embarrassing on your part.

    I really like this map, it looks awesome so im definately downloading. The overveiw of the mpa looks magnificant and the whole design of the map looks amazing, but the overshield looks as though it could be easily obtainable, is it ment to be this way? even if its not easily obtainable im sure you could still get it with a nade jump or double jump.

    I' m sure if you've downloaded the map by now you would see that the power ups are completely unattainable even if you grenade jump it's just for aesthectics.

    Wow. Once again a really great map. I think Im rather impressed with everything on the forgehub site today. Your map has some of the best asthetics i have seen in many maps, and your middle structure, as well as the bases, are epic wins. Too bad the whole quadra-symmetrical thing with a cool thing in the middle is the most over used concept since foundry came out. Every MLG map and 90% of competitive maps have it. I would try to build for assymetrical next time, because you are definatly good enough to pull out a feature if you try. 8.5/10, simply because it has stale gameplay.
