definately the first option for your dilema.. it looks so much better being rotationally symmetric.. its technically less map to get used to as well as half of the map is the same
Yes, I would definitely go with option 1 for your dilemma. I'd make the map play rotationally symmetric, which I like.
Id have to go with dilemma 1, though they are both decent ideas, if your going to make it MLG, then I would suggest #1, in fact, even if you werent making it MLG id still say that you should go with #1. Hope you update soon.
What everyone else has said. #1. By the way, the map is looking great so far. Rather epic, actually. And unless I'm missing something, do you plan on making a path through the middle area?
The map is just a few steps from being done, If you want to see the map just send me a friend request, I'll try to get pictures up sometime today.
This map really is quite amazing. I really enjoyed the 2v2 games we had tonight. (*cough* jump-up to center bridge thing. *cough cough... cough*)
