    Catha

    Catha is a 1v1/2v2 map that I've been working on for awhile. Catha is the first map I've ever desiged on paper before going into forge and building it.​

    I haven't had any 2v2s on this map yet, so if you're interested in playing it, let me know.

    It's much cleaner than most of your maps which I like, but it looks a bit cramped.

    Im really liking this Eight, it looks very clean and the pieces have been chosen well for the theme,. The purple fx fits it really well, and I love how you made the rock placement different and more aesthetic than your previous works. You and a couple others helped me learn how to really make my own projects stand out, and reveal more details so I'm always happy to see your new previews.

    Hit me up if you need some help testing I should be around :) hope this project turns out well.

    So far, this map has the most promise than any of the other maps you have in progress. I really hope you release this one.

    lol Catha... i remember this one, i remember getting owned sevral times on it and well i hated it but back to the map it looks nice with that FX and the orange 2x2 blocks that goes well with the map, using the back pieces of 1x2 blocks for a wall gives this map a better texture to the map. the only confusing thing to me is all them damn teleporters.

    Mi catha thu catha? Spanish with a lisp?

    This looks really interesting. And I'm surprised you aren't getting more haters on the purple filter. I personally don't think they affect gameplay that much. I also like the height variations. Is it possible to get an overhead pic?

    Anent and Lux just had a baby! Kidding, though it bears some resemblance to both aesthetically. Looks pretty cool Eightball.

    The layout looks solid, and I love the little touches of color. But I freaking HATE the filter (someones gotta be THAT guy, might as well be me lol). It's giving me a headache just looking at it on here. I'd need a box of Excedrin to get through a game on this. Other than than that, looks very interesting. Have any concrete ideas on which weapons will be available? Cause, i'm definitely getting sniper vibes from those site lines.

    Thanks, man.

    I'm going to try really hard to get this posted.

    Yes, Catha.

    Thanks man. I'll make sure to send you an invite very soon.

    Thank you. I'll send you an invite. I'm not sure If I have you on my friends list...Is your GT the same?

    Thanks, man. Get on xbox more so we can play on it. ;)

    LOL. Spanish with a lisp. Clever ;)

    I could do an overhead. It might be confusing, but I could do it.

    I tried pretty hard to make sure this map didn't look anything like any other map. Never seems to work. I wonder why..Thanks, though.

    No worries. I'll be making a version of this map without the filter.

    Weapons are Spiker, Sniper, GL. Thanks for the comment.

    Thanks, man. Are you confused on where the teleporters go? Or how they look?

    You had one game on this, so I don't expect you to know where they take you. Like all teleporters, they take time to understand. Sometimes after one game or 2, depending on how many there are.

    In this case there's 3, but after a few games on it, it will be quite apparent where they lead you.

    I'm going to be really critical but don't take it the wrong way. This looks like at least 10 other maps I've seen. The pallette 2x2 flats, 1x1 tall and thins, tunnel larges, and medium bridges is starting to get old. Its the same pallette I've seen on 90% of longshot maps. Try doing something new aesthetically. I know you have the ability to come up with something really unique. I am also open for testing. But invite me one day and maybe we can find a new style to use.

    Sure is :), when your xbox died it took your gamertag with it but its the same SilentRaine. As far as aesthetics I like the look of it, and the orange goes surprisingly well with the purple fx. I'm a sucker for the 1x2 blocks since they always give me that ruins impression and some hint of Halo CE. The reason alot of people use this palette is because it handles framerate very well and these are generally the best pieces to use no matter the size of your map if your going for a good framerate quality and mix of nice aesthetics.

    Either way I should be on a bit this week, I have to finish up a few projects :) so feel free to send a friend request my way Eight.
