    Hey guys i realize that the 3.0 was uploaded but deathfromabove was removed from the map team and while i was on vacation he uploaded 3.0 and changed it to say it was by him. If you want proof just ask a pmp nmd slkbk. He helped with the geomerging in the mid and the signs in the base in 3.0. Thanks pmp!

    MLG Flare is a map that is symmetrical and was originally intended to be a clan only map since my clan needed one to practice teamwork and long range BRing. The map was designed to look very unique and to be nice and clean. Controlling the sniper is a must since it can dominate from above. The gameplay on this map makes assists just as important as kills since without a good team who know how to work together youre guaranteed to lose.

    Techniques used:
    Geomerging
    Interlocking
    Respawn areas (not really a technique but i worked hard on them)

    Weapons include:
    8+ BRs
    1 Sniper
    1 Mauler
    4+ Plasmas
    8+Grenades

    Recommended gametypes:
    MLG TS
    MLG CTF Ons
    MLG Pit KOTH

    Players:
    4-8

    Now for the pics, because i know you guys dont want to do a bunch of reading :p

    [​IMG]
    This is the best overview you could get. As you can see the bases are rather large but i have edited the map to make it so you cant get to the flag too quickly in CTF.

    [​IMG]
    This is a view from the flag return point in the a base to the front of the b base. The signs were added in this version (by pmp) so that it was more difficult to spawn kill. The signs also offer a shortcut since you can jump on them this jump onto the bridge in the middle which holds the sniper spawn. If you rush sniper in the beginning youre guaranteed a couple of kills at least in the first couple of minutes making it a highly contested area.

    [​IMG]
    The geomerged box in the middle is where the mauler spawns. It is very good for protecting your base in ctf. But there is a great chance that if you rush for it you will die. You have to pick the right time to go for it or have a good team to cover you. Also you can see the clean interlocking in the fronts of the bases.

    [​IMG]
    The bases insides have been overhauled since 2.0 now. The stairs were removed since they cluttered up the bases in KOTH. The bridge was added since it was a simple, small, and effective item to get up to the upper parts of the bases. The dumpsters provide cover when playing hill.

    [​IMG]
    This is a view from the pillars. Not much to say about it but you can see the open double box where 2 plasma grenades spawn. you can also see the ramps leading to the top bridge.

    [​IMG]
    This path is heavily trafficked in CTF games since it provides some cover from the open box. Yes i know the open box isnt completely straight but i retried geomerging it and just cant get it straight.

    [​IMG]
    This is a view of the pillars. They were added both as cover and to be an intense hill spot. The dumpster provides some good cover while also making the map feel more filled in.

    I hope you guys like it! it took over 25 hours to make
    Credit goes to:
    RxI Hysteria (me but i just changed my live name)
    Resistance2All (only helped with versions 1 and 2 then claimed he made version 3)
    Salot for the wall, the back base boxes, and the crane
    And last but not least a pmp nmd slkbk (helped with v3)

    To tryout for my clan message me. You must be a 40 or higher preferably above 45 and you must have great teamwork. My clan is called Wreckless Intent our clantag is RxI. We are currently looking for 2 more members in a gamebattles team!

    This is a very well done mlg map, the interlocking is very clean, just try not to make the bases so close on your next map good job 5/5

    yeah i know but i removed some things that made it so you cant get from base to base as quickly in ctf.
    thanks for the great comments everyone! and yes im making another map, its gonna be like ons but itll have 3 stories in each base. im currently looking for a forging partner so message me if you want to forge with me. you must be good at interlocking and have at least simple geomerging skills.

    oh and when you download it please rate it 5 stars on bungie since i got kids giving me 1 star on my entire fileshare :(

    Why don't you tell him how it can be better. It would help him more.

    The map seems nice. The bases are a bit close together for an MLG map though which is fine for slayer but not as much for CTF but you said you had it fixed for it so good for you. Top middle seems a bit powerful, as someone can stay in the open single boxes and it might be tough to get them out especially because they are at a higher elevation.

    I realize that you kicked the one guy out of your group/clan but If he helped with the map at all you have to give him credit, but i'm not sure if he did.

    Looks geat. I love the forging techniques and how well its made.I'm not a big MLG fan so I'm not going to download. Only, because I'll probably never play it. It looks hella sweet though, I love the center and the bases look fantastic. I hope you make other (non-MLG) maps though. I think it stands apart from the other MLG maps which almost or try to look identically like Onslaught.

    Very nice MLG map though.

    5/5

    I hope it gets featured...

    all you have to do is chuck a few well placed nades in the boxes, i have a counter for everything on this map. dont worry about balance thats taken care of. and ctf is what this map is great for. it played awesome even before the bases were fixed

    i gave him credit at the bottom of the post for v1 and v2
