    So you're asking what sets an MLG map apart from your standard competitive map?

    Beyond the fundamental requirements in the design, there really isn't much that seperates the two in terms of the actual map. The only required aspects are no vehicles, no automatic weapons with a high rate of fire, and no moveable objects from my knowledge.

    The weapon set is limited to needle rifles, DMRs, frag grenades, plasma grenades, jet pack, evade, camo, custom powerup, plasma pistols, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, sniper rifle, and health packs. They all should have the correct timers and spare clips, and I think power weapons have to be drop spawned.

    I don't think it is a necessary requirement, but MLG maps put a heavy emphasis on team shooting and movement in the design. The idea of camping should be discouraged with the design and there should be a focus on map control.

    As far as gametype settings go, here's the basic gist:
    Primary: DMR
    No secondary
    No health recharge
    No starting equipment
    No motion tracker
    120% Player speed
    110% Jump height
    150% Player gravity
    No penalties
    No team changing
    CPU: 30 seconds, 200% DR, forced color

    I could be wrong on some of this stuff, so you may want to do some research.

    @Auburn I thought evade was removed?
    There's also a special zero bloom gametype for MLG, which is separate from team slayer.

    As for dropspawn timers, rockets are generally 178s and sniper/grenade launcher are 118s.

    Also, I've noticed MLG maps tend to have more color in their pieces (for callout purposes)
