Diversity
made by TFx KiLl3r

Diversity has been made! After hours and hours and hours of forging sweat and head aches it is here! My newest map aimed at 2v2 gameplay. Both gameplay and aesthetics came together in this one.

Map size:
Small

Recommended players:
1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4-6 people FFA.

I got te name diversity from the recently proclaimed winners of britains got talent, Diversity. This map provides cover, yet there are open spots. The gameplay is very pleasing and I would recommend all gametypes for 2v2 and FFA crazy king is such fun.

I started making this map about 2 weeks ago and I have spent about 20 hours forging this map, not including testing and improving. I have tested all possible gametypes with 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3. I would not recommend playing with anymore than 3v3 as it gets crowded. Just for those of you who want to know:

Recommend gametypes:
1v1 - Slayer, KoTH and oddball
2v2 - Team Slayer, Capture the flag, Koth and oddball
3v3 - Team slayer (you can play others but its a litte hectic)
FFA (4-6 players) - Slayer, Crazy King and oddball

Creator's Notes:

On the top floor, where the rocket spawn is, you can only get up there by jumping and at the bottom of this post wil be pictures showing you where to jump up. Having to jump provide a difference in gameplay and was favoured by all the testers.
Some of you may be wandering why there are so many BR's on the map (10) this is because all the testers agreed that the orginal BR spawns felt distant and difficult to get to so there are more in obvious places but tactically placed.
There is two places on the map (symmetrical) where you can jump off the back, this provides an escape route and short-cut to ther lower floor, however be careful as you can fall off.

Weapon & Equipment List:

10x BR
2x Plasma Rifle
1x Rocket Launcher ~ 120 respawn ~ 0 spare clips

1x Mauler ~ 120 respawn ~ 0 spare clips

6x Frag Grenade
2x Plasma Grenade
1x Bubble Shield
1x Regenerator

Gametypes Supported:

Capture the Flag - I would suggest when playing this to either make the spawn time smaller or increase the capture limit
Team Slayer
FFA - (4-6 players) Crazy King, slayer and oddball and recommended Lone Wolves
Oddball
KoTH and Crazy King - Craz king recommend (4-6 players)
and all others tested but they do not play very well.

Thanks to the testers:

Birdboy Dom - A great map, loved everything about team doubles on this map and the gameplay is stunning well done!
An Irate Goat - Well forged and executed. The gameplay and aesethtics are both immense. Great fun and really competitive.
Pvt Munch - Loved this but especailly FFA Crazy king, was hilarious and pumped with action.
Ze Bully - Very well done, amazing map and I had great fun playing and testing this, and annoying you in the process of making it!
MeltyourTV
Slushypuppy (i think)

And the others, I think there were two more lol and of course me!

Well thats it and i hope you like it!

This the new map you told me about? I like it man, it looks balanced and aesthetically pleasing. I especially like how the BR spawns look. Im gonna check this map out later and I'll give you some feedback on it. For now 4.5/5

Nice job mate!
Looks good and clean,
It might be pretty small, but hey, you said its made for no more than 6+ players.
Looks like it has a nice, clean, symmetric flow.
Im gonna try this map out and see how it plays.
3.5/5

hey, I just downloaded this map and had a quick forge through, but did not play any games yet. But dude seriously I can see massive potential in this mpa as it is well set up and all the weapons are just where I would place them. The map is aesthetically pleasing and I like the effect and lighting used in the map, I particaularly like the purple light on the ground floor around the mauler spawn, it looks great! Cant w8 to get a game on this 5/5!

cheers bro, im so glad you like it! The weapon placement was decided after testing with deifferent weapons, for instance I was going to have 2 snipers but decided not, a rocket and BR's worked a lot better. To get the rocket you need to use team work as its in the midde and you can only jump to it. I loved the lighting to, thanks man.

Yes, lol i can see how 2 snipers would not really work lol, i am working on a map and will consider using the efects you have used here, thanks for telling me, this should be featured btw! After playing this map, as i said i would, it is insane, much better i believe than your popular map respiration! I would strongly suggest adding lone wolves to your gametypes as this was just incredible!

Originality- 0.5-Exotic

Over all= 3/5

Ouch, Sorry to say that this maps game play was very bad. :( The rockets turned the map into a death pit and the maps Small Unique feel was way to hard to get a hold of. :( But that does not make this a bad map. Your map did look pretty good and it was definitely original. I have never seen a small map that looks anything like this map.
NICE TRY. :)
All you have to do is fix the weapons a bit and add Little bit more to the map.

First of all I must say it was a pleasure testing this, we all had a great time. There were some issues, although none of them big. Making the level a little bigger - possibly with a new walkway or tunnel round the outside - would make this map play a lot better with 2 v 2+.

I must say I really don't agree with this. We played KotH, CtF and Team Slayer and they all worked great (although we did discover the required tweeks for CtF). The rockets certainly did not turn the level into a death pit, firstly they only have two rockets and secondly there are too many corners and line-of-sight blockings, etc.
