    Here fishy fishy… oh sorry. Amalgam, as the name implies, is a combination of two already featured maps, Troika & the classic Exacted. Don’t expect an exact reproduction of the two maps, there are many new structures built specifically to enhance the open but not cover-less area. Vast arrays of weapons, equipment and power ups have been strategically placed to encourage movement around the map. The Troika part of the map boasts an exquisite fish tank, sparse cover and a ladder to high ground complete with view of almost the entire arena. This is, however, well balanced with the Exacted section which is full of strategic cover and a large curved base perfect for ridding people atop the tower.

    Woah looks awesome! I like those boxes that make that circle thing and that wall with fence boxes. The interlocking an geo-merging are epic on this! It is done so well. I must d/l this!

    Ya i havnt seen this map before but im sure this does deserve the feature, all because of its unique layout. I reall love the corner with all the double boxes.

    congrats on feature

    amazing map, I've been waiting for this post for a day or two now, after seeing it on tex's youtube profile. Amazing map, looks like gameplay is fun although spawns look off from what I can see in the video (when I watched it).

    I am wondering what each next new map reveals day by day!

    Yeah, the video is bad for two reasons. 1 - It was a test game that was played before the spawns were finalized. 2 - it was a 3 on 3 match on a 2v2 map. This map is really small, and the more people that are in it, the more chances that you'll get bad spawns. I told Tex I had other videos that were better, but I think it was too late by then. Oh well, no biggie.
    Anyway, it's really only to just show off the map layout and give people a preview. Glad it's getting received well so far though. :D

    edit: BTW, why doesn't this post have the 2v2 graphic and information on what round it is? You guys might want to edit that in there so it looks official and people know that this isn't a feature - it's a tournament map.

    Woah there is some awesome stuff going on in this map. It's perfectly forged/interlocked etc etc blah blah. It looks like it flows great. My favorite is the weird looking shield thing you have up between the A signs.

    Castle Crashers Music FTW.

    The map is really good, and interlox almost to perfection! The Curved boxes thing is cool, too!

    Nice work again on the Tournament maps, this one looks to be my favorite thus far. Aside from the excellent consrtuction and asthetics that cover the whole map, I REALLY like the fence wall/shield wall thing jutting out of the ground in pic #2. It is truly a genius aesthetic masterpiece. As well as the rounded box wall, and eveyr other feature of the map. An EXCELLENT choice for the tournament, I definately love and am DLing. 5/5

    Nice job on the map. My partner and I will be practicing this map as soon as possible to prepare for round 8. This looks like it is going to be another great 2v2 map.

    What are you smoking, man? This isn't MLG at all. It has a sentinel beam, a flamethrower, a fuel rod gun, and a fire bomb.. among other weapons. This is for the 2v2 tournament thats been taking place for the past 2 months. Pay attention and actually read the post and check the map out first hadn before you make any more ignorant assumptions like that. That sickens me.

    Sweet I saw this map a day before it came out on txoutlaw's channel on youtube and its looks pretty good. As I watched the gameplay I though that it would be fun and ya it does looks fun. Anyways, what does Analgam mean? Is it a word? Great job NeverlessWonder.

    I'm glad this thing has finally been released. I've had a lot of fun testing this bad boy, and now others can enjoy it just as much as I have! There is so much more you can learn about this map when you look at all the little details. It took me a while to figure out a lot of the really cool grenade bounces that can be pulled off on this map, but boy do they come in handy. Study this map in detail if you want to walk away from your 2v2 match as a winner.

    Meh overall looks alright... It may just be me but I have not been liking the 2v2 maps... I think its not letting the "Forge Gods" do what they do best but limiting them to a small 2v2 map. I don't know though... I guess I need to try the map before I just say this stuff. Nevertheless, looks original just lack of cover... The center structure is pretty unique and awesome

    I mean it has good interlocking and design but i think it is too open. It says "strategic cover" but i guess ill just have to find out for myself. Not one of the features i would agree with. :/

    wow now that is the strangest map i have ever seen! Anyways it looks great and seems like a perfect size for the 2v2 faceoff. Although the semi circle thing in the corner seems like a power point for king of the hill...
