    I like the look of the structure here,

    I'll queue it, but i'm not going to be around for a while, so don't expect feedback for about a week!

    A suggestion:
    1 -Clean up links by using [*url=LINK]What you want the name to be[/url] (W/o the *)
    -Example - The Octagon
    2 -Maybe a little more detailed description

    Other than that, the map looks pretty good. Looks very small however. You think 10 people wouldn't be too crammed?

    I guess I will queue it and see how it plays.

    I love small maps like this. (I'm a shotgun man, myself)... I really don't see this map supporting more than 4 or 5 players, though. I'll try it out.

    I like the name of the map, has somebody been watching Napoleaon Dynamite lately!?

    "Welcome to Rex Kwon Do! After spending 6 months at the Octogon, I have decided to put together this 8 week system that will give you reflexes of a puma, the strength of a bear, and the wisdom... of a man!"

    This has the look of a fun arena-style map. The question is, are your spawns good enough to make it fun? I also noticed that you can easily grenade-jump out of your map just by looking at the pics. You might want to consider fixing that cuz there is always some kid who is gonna "Escape" the map instead of play it.

    Im not going to queue it unless it gets more feedback but so far it looks neat. It has inspired me to make an arena-style map as well.

    You may need to make "mancannon spawns" outside of the Octagon and launch people into it, and if you do, make them lauch from different directions to keep it fun.

    1.) If people want to be lame and and try and get out of the map, that's on them. They won't get points and the host can always boot them.

    2.) The map was originally based around a map I made on Standoff where the players were shot into the arena using man cannons. However on this map the canons were too inconsistent to leave in the game.

    Thanks for the comments and please keep them comming :squirrel_giggle:

    This map reminds me a lot of UFC...but anyway, I'd like to see the Octagon be a little bit bigger, this way it would be best suited for larger parties. I don't see myself wanting to play a 4v4 on this map but I'm sure it would make for an interesting game of slayer. You might also want to include some screenshots of some actual gameplay. Good map though.

    We didn't have much room to make it any bigger without making it really oblong. But I am working on ways to open the sides of the map a little more.

    Also there is a video of gameplay
