    Empire
    Created by Mallet

    One of Forge Hub's best has released another creation, Empire. Empire is a small, fast paced map which has many features to promote interesting gameplay. Tunnels with "bounce friendly" walls, small alcoves to recover your shield within and several small walls and fences to take cover behind. Don't let the flowing hills fool you, the battle is anything but serene.

    Yay! Maps are getting featured again.

    This reminds me of gradient, and it looks very similar. The interlocking is very nice, and it must have taken tons of supplys.

    This looks ridiculously like a Gradient that was featured awhile back.

    hooray for the first preemeuhms! i like teh map too and you must have living under a rock to not know that it was the same guy who made gradient, infact i don't think he has ever made a map that uses the actual floor of foundry...

    Love your work, Mallet. There are so many considerations that never make it into most maps, mine included. I think you forge up close to the ceiling just to show off your awesome powers... and it's working.

    impressed, naturally. Forged to perfection, I don't really have any complaints on the technical side of things. But I was hoping for a different style than Gradient. Don't get me wrong, I love the sculpted terrain, and I'm sure it plays fabulously (although I haven't had the pleasure yet). But I guess I kinda wished the theme was more different this time around. Either way, its still a super sexy map. Not only are you the first to 2 Featured maps, but 3 also! Well done. Oh, and Pred is right... the whole map floating like that... ridiculous. Looks sweet from underneath.

    I know that everything onthe map was placed on purpose, but some of them look really ugly to me. Those walls that are bent out wards were made to look like that, but they don't really look that appealing. The map is amazingly well made, but when I played it in a game the gameplay didn't flow well. Good looking map, but didn't play as well as gradient.

    Just by looking at your heat map I can tell this will play well. It is a small map but it is open enough that the shotgun doesn't dominate.

    This doesn't look like gradient to me but the idea of using hills is. I think you should just keep forging your speciality maps and screw everyone else.
