Description

Yes this is Misery v2. I removed the FX in v2 and since that had a huge role in the making of the name, it had to be changed. So I came up with antiquity.

Supporting a maximum of 4v4 or 6 FFA, this symmetrical map is one of my best creations yet. There are two sides as usual (red and blue) and a side base which can be considered neutral. There is an underground pipe linking the 2 bases to each other as well as the side base.

Game Play

Due to its small stature, this map is based mostly on close quarters combat. If you see anything that can be useful in close combat, don't hesitate to take it. Now this doesn't mean BRs and the sniper are useless in the arena, but they are definitely underpowered unlike almost every other map. So keep that in mind.

Overall, game play isn't too far off from any other map, but the slight differences are what make this map unique and enjoyable.

Every weapon and equipment is included in the following:

Weapons
BR x2
SMG x2
Plasma Pistol x1
Plasma Rifle x2
Needler x1
Brute Shot x2
Carbine x2
Mauler x2
Beam Rifle x1
Missile Pod x1

Equipment/Grenades/Powerups

Frags x2
Plasmas x4
Regenerator x1
Deployable Cover x2
Active Camo x1

So as you can see above, there aren't too many options other than to get up close and personal with the enemy. That's about all there is to game play. Get something close-ranged and get out there!

Aesthetics

This map's aesthetics in my opinion are top notch. Everything is interlocked where it needs it and the design is exactly the way I wanted it. I and most other people specifically like the side base which is a neat touch to the entire map. While providing cover and high ground for game play, it shows true aesthetic quality.

In each base, the specifics are as follows:

Two floors
2-way lift
1 power weapon
3 entrances from outside

The side base (also known as "the pipes") has 3 circular pipes which can be jumped into or used as cover from nearby or far-away enemies.

Top mid is only used in either KOTH or as a way to get to the other base as it provides 0 cover. Only go here for one of two reasons. 1. The Hill is in Top Mid position. 2. Sniper is at its spawn.

Bottom mid is very useful for short-ranged weapons. It is also where Missile Pod spawns.

Structures around the map are built to great heights to incorporate a mini-theme and provide elevated cover. All these qualities make this map one of my best for aesthetics and game play put together.

v2 Changes

Now that v2 is out, the map is for the most part uncheatable. I say for the most part because I'm sure there's some ridiculous way to double jump and then triple jump or something, but I'm not interested in those ways. If you're by yourself with any weapon/equipment, I'm pretty sure you cannot get on top of the map. The ledges which I extended off the top might look easy to get around, but in order to do an easy grenade/brute shot jump, you gotta be against a wall. The ledges put that to an end. If someone does find a way to break it, lemme know but make sure it's worth it first. I mean don't say brute shot jump onto a ramp and then double jump off a sniper. If anything like that is said, the comment will be ignored.

Railings are another addition to v2. Although they do not completely surround the edges, they provide guiding and cover for people who are in need of it. If you fall off on the parts which are not "railed" then that's on you. Be aware of your surroundings and you'll be fine. Plus, the railings do cover about 80% of the parts where you can just walk off.

The FX are now completely removed. No more dull and gloomy settings. So now visibility is much better and distractions are completely removed. Unless you consider the flags a distraction. Those stay. :)

Many bumps and cracks in the floor and other places have been fixed. There are still slight bumps from here to there, but I'm pretty sure those are inevitable on this kind of map. So hopefully they don't throw you off too badly. If so, I can try my best to fix them to perfection. To my best of knowledge, however, they already are.

The main base structures and the side base main structure are now changed to look exactly the same. They aren't anywhere on v1. Simply new structures I came up with. Hope you guys like them. Oh yea - the motive was to make sure you couldn't jump on top of the pipe and then jump out in the bases. Then I decided to make the side base the same just for repetitive structures.

In v1, some things were forgotten and did not spawn at start and instead spawned later in the match due to run time maximum changes. Now everything spawns at start. No instant respawn needed.

To add cover, the way to get up to the top floor of each from top mid is only accessible by jumping. It's a very easy jump and it adds a pretty decent amount of cover. Just enough for you to either form a sneak attack or simply regenerate your shields.

That one dude you once saw fighting an invisible bird while sipping on Foldgers Coffee and eating Caribbean Seafood with your 11 year old nephew at the Greendale park 678 Tuesdays ago in the middle of November right after that flash flood in Vermont that was started by that guy who got arrested for throwing a piece of chicken at the priest who preaches at the Catholic Church of New Jersey a couple years prior. And his grandma's cookies. The chocolate chip ones not the oatmeal.
