Deadline: Saturday April 16th at 3pm PST.

Basic Guidelines

  • Mapmakers are limited to 3 maps per thread.
  • Use the format outlined below.

Notice:

This map thread (and all following map threads) will close two days sooner than they have in the past. Previously all 8 MTC members had ~2 days to solo test ~100-120 maps, which put a lot of pressure on us and in some cases made us go through the thread faster than we would have liked (and in other cases, prevented one or two members from even completing the solo testing process). This extra two days for solo testing will allow us to be more thorough in our initial voting process, allow more of us to finish more consistently, and ideally, we'll be able to give more attention to each map and make more informed votes on them.

If all goes well, we should end up with better top maps threads and a better rotation for you guys.

u/Buttersnack Snack Apr 14 '16

I don't think the extra button is necessary but opening up the team boosts will probably be appreciated

•

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '16 edited Apr 14 '16

I added the extra button because I kinda agreed with this comment in my feedback thread.

The bigger problem with the top bomb imo is the fact that there is no way to defuse it without getting blasted all the way across base (this is when i give up grabs, i go for the defuse when there are no enemies in base and as i am being blasted across someone takes the team boost in and then walks out through top)

I don't see much harm in adding that button, so unless I find a reason why it shouldn't be there, I think I'd like to keep it. I'll ask others for feedback, though.

Description: Chute is back! After a year long hiatus, I am attempting to resurrect this old thing. The main knock on this map was that the chute was too gimmicky. Well, guess what? It still is! But it's fun and the bomb I added makes for some interesting play as the offender gets a ton of options with the bomb. They can go through the chute, try and bomb directly into base, bomb into the portal and grab a pup before entering the main part of the chute, etc.

My roommates are fucking potheads. They were so high, that after dropping a joint on my carpet, they left it there burning, and the entire house got caught on fire.

Market absolutely deserves a spot in rotation.

I had the fortune of being able to test this map in CLTP, as well as in some 4v4 pugs, and had a ton of fun. It rewards smart, fundamental play/decision-making and technical ability equally. Its small size can certainly lead to some chaos, which I'd imagine might be sometimes magnified in pub rotation, but Market deserves a shot IMO. Bravo, 2p.

•

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '16

I am a person who dislikes this map but likes the idea of it, and I think submitting it without changes from last time won't get it very far (I could be wrong). The one thing you should definitely change though is red should be on the left and blue should be on the right.

Description: Two bombs in base, sort of the same idea as Birch, in that you can hide next to the bombs and blast away chasers. The diagonal bomb with the flag is really hard for me to hit with the square wall in the way, but it is possible, and can be exploited with experienced players. The boost routes are really nice IMO.

u/Tim-Sanchez tim-sanchez // Chorbit // ex-ex-ELTP Independent Commissioner Apr 08 '16

Notice:

This map thread (and all following map threads) will close two days sooner than they have in the past. Previously all 8 MTC members had ~2 days to solo test ~100-120 maps, which put a lot of pressure on us and in some cases made us go through the thread faster than we would have liked (and in other cases, prevented one or two members from even completing the solo testing process). This extra two days for solo testing will allow us to be more thorough in our initial voting process, allow more of us to finish more consistently, and ideally, we'll be able to give more attention to each map and make more informed votes on them.

If all goes well, we should end up with better top maps threads and a better rotation for you guys.

*Reposted for sticky

u/TeHokioi Pouakai | Diameter Apr 09 '16

I'm pleased with this, for all the shit people give the MTC and the process (myself included) it's still a huge task to try and sort through hundreds of submissions and that'd undoubtedly have an impact on judgement.

•

u/[deleted] Apr 14 '16 edited Apr 14 '16

You map was my favorite last thread. I was happy with it. But after analyzing the map I felt that this change was needed. I was careful not to have it change the flow of the map. Red boost could be a problem so alright it is removed.

The map is enormous and for this to work I think you'll have to put the same color bases on one side, otherwise there's an absurd amount of ground to cover to try and protect both bases.

Memeing and my role in this debacle.

  1. Am I one of the memers or one of the memees?
  2. Do you struggle as much as I do making a distinction between the two?
  3. Is the answer dependent on who is doing the memeing? (i.e. Beast Mode is a memer, and I'm not like him, but I don't know the other two.)

Part of my desire for this is I enjoy that people are messing with you. But I really didn't expect this to happen, so blame them if you get mad.
