    ENDER



    Ender is an inverse symmetrical arena designed at its core for CTF. Ender is a reforge of Black Site, a map canvased on Erosion that appeared in the Community Forge FFA playlist and that will begin appearing in the SWAT, Rumble Pit, and Flood playlist starting Monday. Ender, canvased on Forge Island, is designed to promote constant movement and acrobatics as core gameplay features. I was encouraged by several prominent members of the competitive community to complete this reforge so the map could enter consideration for Team Throwdown/v4 tournament settings. I am very open to all feedback, and I can't wait to hear what this community thinks about Ender!

    In my opinion, this is the best CTF map in the game, period.
    The sides were probably the weakest part of the design on Black Site. The extra routes in this version are an enormous improvement, and the movement feels completely natural in that part of the map now.
    Awesome job!

    Good to see you on ForgeHub man. Still haven't played this though :/ Are you running a lobby tonight?

    Edit: After looking through the pics though, I definitely feel like this needs to be downscaled some. :p

    Did you even ****in' read? Get lost Haunted. Well Fated, this looks incredibly well forged, it looks really nice! Black Site was the best 4v4 map I had seen on Erosion, And you just brought it to Forge Island.. Wich made it twice as appealing as it already was. I really can't think of anything that could be improved. Excellent map Fated! Really looking forward to see this in the Community Forge FFA playlist, something good to play on for once :p (I didn't enjoy previous maps that much, next to Scythe and Simplex)

    I wouldn't go that far, but thanks Chunk. This is technically still only my second design. I've got a long way to go before I make map worthy of that title! Ender is the result of months of feedback from a very knowledgeable group of forgers as well. It may have my name on it but its success is shared. I agree that the new routes in green and gold greatly improve those areas.

    @Redemption, he be trollin. You can't troll a troll though. Nice try Haunted :p

    Agreed, its HUGE. I plan to run a lobby tonight but the start time is TBD.

    @Haunted, these magnificent people include Limey, Nitro, SaLoT, Redemption, Darkling Ninjas, Warholic, Chunk, and Chef Linguini to name a few. All of these guys saw huge potential in the design early on and stuck with me every step of the way to make sure this map reached its full potential.

    hey! i helped with 0.1%!!! ...

    but seriously, the map is nearly decent for my standards, just a good demonstration of how listening and working with feedback helps a tone, and how smart the THC crew is.

    So this is your attempt in helping others with constructive feedback? ...and you wonder why you become attacked. You sir, are a internet bad-ass. Very motivational and captivating use of words, ideas, and criticism.

    i don't need to repeat myself to fated, he already knows my thoughts on the map because i've helped him playtest it on numerous occasions and helped hm get the gold & green corners into a workable state. to post my feedback on here again is just pointless repetition.

    doesn't mean i can't have some fun though.

    Why are people taking Haunted so seriously when he's obviously joking with Fated?

    Anyways, Ender's good stuff. The white / brown sides make navigating easier and they're still symmetrical (especially now that you removed those pieces that were causing bumps). I still think the OS > rockets, but hey, gotta please as many people as you can. :)

    Ok ladies, one question, who's the man out of your relationship? Get a hotel room and leave your affection for each other out of ForgeHub. Back to your question, how am I suppose to know he wasn't serious, he's a blatant asshole to everyone here.

    That's completely uncalled for.

    Fated Fire liked Army's joke post.

    OS already spawns. Did you mean you think Rockets > OS? Rockets are awesome on here too, but OS is better for competitive settings.

    To anyone who is having trouble understanding all the sarcasm/trolling in this thread, please don't misinterpret it as insults. I know Haunted, Spin, Hulter and Dax through other forums and Xbox Live, and they don't mean any harm.

    I was talking about that version with Rockets and snipe. Did you go with the OS variant?
