Syndicate - Download (New Release Version 2.1)
Forged by SoLo and TKS x MoNsTeR x

Background: Syndicate is a one-sided objective, team slayer, and Free-For-All map originally built for week 4 of the template contest. Monster and I decided to give this this one a go to demonstrate our forging skills and to prove to ourselves that we could actually complete a project. Syndicate started out as "just the contest map" but slowly turned into what I now call our masterpiece thus far. After contemplating for a few days on what it was we wanted to do with the template, our concept was starting to pull through. In an estimated 90-100 hours (Over a 4 week period), the map was finally finished which put a huge smile on our faces. The testing period was not as long as we had hoped for, but reactions from testers were positive both in the gameplay and aesthetics department.

Description: Syndicate is a completely assymetrical map. As stated above, it will suppport one sided objective games, including team slayer and FFA. Every structure is accessible with at least one ramp or stairset leading up to them, eliminating those awkward "skill jumps" we all love to hate. Rather than having only the Foundry floor and another level at box hight, those two levels are brought together with wall platforms. Syndicate sticks to a small weapon-set catering to MLG settings, giving Monster and I the competitive edge we needed to suit our play-styles. With painstaking accuracy, we were able to deliver a map that both functioned well and gave us something pretty to look at. Enjoy :)
