    Cynosure
    By Pulsekiller

    Recommended Players: 2-8
    Recommended Gametypes: Slayer (FFA/Team), King of the Hill, Oddball

    Cynosure marks the first ever MLG Sandbox map featured here at ForgeHub. An asymmetric map forged in the skybubble, Pulse’s design is impeccable. The structures and varied elevations make the map feel larger than a first glance may suggest. The sight lines, power positions, and well thought-out weapon selection and placement promote quick gameplay with seamless flow and a lot of excitement. For optimal Oddball gameplay, make sure you grab Pulse's Cynball gametype.

    While Cynosure may not tickle everyone’s aesthetic fancy, we assure you, the gaming experience it provides more than makes up for it. Frenetic firefights abound, and team communication will ultimately prove to be one of the key factors in success here. A map that’s versatile enough to support a dueling 1v1 match, and up to a full-fledged 4v4 war, Cynosure deserves a spot on your hard drive, hands down.

    Again? Another featured map I failed to notice before it being featured.

    Seeing as I missed it the first time I guess now is my time to download.

    Congratulations Pulsekiller!

    Another amazing map. The gameplay on the video looks great and the entire map itself looks quite smooth and playable and as for the layout of the map its great. The map also looks great for a good game of 2v2 or 3v3. Great job on the map 10/10 and keep it up.

    The video is messed up. Only shows half of it, widthwise.

    A map that truly exemplifies why having a solid design with pure gameplay in mind is the only thing that matters. Take note, those of you who consider aesthetics an important part of a competitive or MLG map.

    I remember playing KotH on it.
    Wasn't entirely my cup of tea, although glad to hear others liked it.
    Gratz.

    I don't believe I have seen this map in the forums. Just goes to show how flooded the forums can get huh? It's kinda sad tho...BUT I'm glad that there are still people at ForgeHub who take the time to wade through the deep, deep water to pick out a winner such as this. :)

    I knew this would be a feature from day one. Pulsekiller did a helluva great job with this assymmetrical beast of a map. Congrats, my friend, and good day.

    I'm not really into MLG maps, but this looks pretty solid. Great job, Pulsekiller!

    BTW: the vid doesn't work for me, it shows only the left half.

    I love how the different elevations do make it look bigger.
    Something I can never do without hitting the blasted item limit.
    Congrats mate.

    Man, all of these featured maps are coming out of nowhere! I hang around the forums pretty much most of the day, and I thought I covered every map so far, but this one slipped past me. :p

    Anyway, congrats Pulsekiller. This map looks really good, and it definitely gets my D/L.

    I love that it's actually an asymmetrical MLG map, not just another stale, symmetrical, quasi-Amplified design in the Crypt.

    The aesthetics aren't too good, but I can tell that gameplay will be good. I see you interlocked the floor which is good for grenades not getting stuck and bumps and what not. This is the first mlg sandbox map I've liked. Good job
