    Onset
    Created by: Phuria
    Designed by: nickaaaa

    Recommended Players: 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2
    Recommended Gametype: 1v1 Forge Gametype

    Onset can be summed up in one word: solid. A solid like none other in fact, a kind of solid that makes crashing headlong into a brick wall seem ethereal. Yet, in that instant of impact there is such chaos that the moment becomes surreal and lasts forever. This is the essence of Onset. A brick wall built from abrupt – time stops in a heartbeat – crashes.

    Onset floats high above mid-level sandbox in the sky. It’s features are solid providing several lifts and multiple ramps. Built specifically for the 1v1 Forge Gametype, Onset exceeds the fold of competitive play with room to room combat and wide corridors. The quick-spawning power-ups and weapons force players to cycle through the maps into inevitable crashes.

    Your pics and decription must not do it justice. Not a huge fan of Sandbox but with the diversity that 1v1 maps offer, i'm tempted to have a look. I'm still loving how a year down the line, you can still make any map sound like it's better than anything before it. Loves it.

    Dooo ittttttttttttttttttttt

    Solid

    This does look really solid. I missed this one in the forums somehow. The spacing and layout look very comfortable and I see a variety of unique areas even on a smaller map. I saw in the original thread that you built this off of someone else's design. Was it a sketchup template? It would be really cool to see screen shots of the design as well, because the construction looks tight.

    To be honest I really don't see why this was featured. It is as good as any other competitive map. And I have seen so many others that are deserve it more.

    You obviously never played the map. Go try it out, it is an instant classic that is so incredibly underrated. Congrats Phuria and Nicka!

    I respect your opinions and if you feel the staff have neglected maps then by all means bug us about it or at least me. I look everyday at these forums for quality maps. That's not to say that we are neglecting and we're not holding other maps back. Again, let us know.

    Rusty has a knack for that, which is why we brought back to the dark side the force.

    Let me ask you this, how often do you see us feature a 1v1 map?

    That's what I thought.

    Though, I never really got a game on this, I did download it (which is saying a lot since I usually just give a map "meh" and leave be in the forums) --this map however looked like a really well built one and seems like it'd play solid. Congrats on your feature guys/gals/robots (whatever you are).

    you really havent been here for a while, have you? we all stoped the firssst thing about 7 months ago. now mods and such do it as a joke.

    as for the map, i trust rusty's judgement that it is good, or else it wouldn't be here on the front page. ill try it whilst waiting for people to join my pre build template submission.

    Holy ****!!!
    Thanks for the feature Forgehub! Also thanks to Nicka for letting me forge this design/add onto it. : ) V2 is Comming as soon as I get time off of my other projects, also it's nice to know forgehub doesn't overlook any maps. : )

    I downloaded and ran through it; it is a brilliant small (but not as small as you might think) map which reminded me a lot of Damnation for some reason. Could also be really fun for FFA.

    Oh and I must say, I loled at the "intimate" Banshees haha.
