    Go to your download history in account management if you want to redownload anything that you can't find on marketplace. That includes the mythic map pack.

    I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but this is great. I think this could possibly be the best aesthetic map I've seen yet. Wait maybe not...well I dunno the spider on black out (Eight Emerald Legs) is pretty close to this so I'm not sure. Either way it's top notch quality and definitely one of the best in my eyes.

    The look is awesome it actually looks like something I would see in a movie/photo or something which begs the question: Did you look at a picture when you made this? It really looks like it because that scaffolding and stuff really looks like something I'd see in a magazine or old movie. If you did trust me that's not a bad thing obviously it has good results, but yea I was just wondering....

    Thanks for the comments guys!

    @Doog nit: Yes, a picture was used but not at the same time. Studying a picture for a while and then building was how we did it.

    We are debating to make a v2..
    Things we are considering to add include:

    • Opposite base
    • Fixed eyes
    • Fixed face
    • Playable as map
    Thanks again for the comments, and if we make a new version, we will be sure to post it as soon as possible! (You got to take into consideration we finished by deleting all the objects on the canvas, meaning our object limit is lowered so... yeah)

    Thank you for the great praise! It's great to see that people like this map so much. We just made it on a whim. Yes, we used a picture at several different times throughout the building.

    That is freakin sweet! This has gotta be feature worth my friend. Not only did you remake the Sphinx, you added a playable inside. Very nice, anyone who says this sucks really has no taste in maps.

    5/5

    Again, thank you for all the great feedback. v2 is nearly complete, we just have to add the spawns and weapons to make it playable, then test it.

    Dude I love this. IT is my favorite map ever. Very creative and unique. Everything works and plays great.

    Can you tell us what V2 will have? I can't wait!

    We have made the map playable meaning we have added some more blocks/cover, as well as a whole other base. Behind the sphinx is the other base, the Pyramid. Basically, a perfect battle scene fitting an Egyptian styled map.

    The pyramid has two entrances, the one through the side and one on top. The sphinx has also been modified such as the insides, with a wall angled for cover, the tail has been changed to look more "natural" looking, we have added a side entrance, which is a small corridor blocked by tiny blocks and pallets, simply crouch your way through the debris to get in, and as for the face...has been untouched. Why haven't we changed the face? Well, we figured it gives the map a sense of humor and it is our own "finesse". Besides, who doesn't like unamused Sphinx's? (Thanks to Lightsout for that pic by the way).

    We just have to add spawns, goal areas, and a few more weapons and we will be submitting it to the testing guild. After that, we will make necessary changes and then publish to the Casual Map forum.

    Be sure to download the v2 when it is available!
