Phylum
Created by CR0553D

Gametypes Supported: MLG TS, MLG KOTH, MLG Oddball and MLG CTF
Recommended Party Size: 4-8 Players

Phylum is a MLG foundry map made by CR0553D. What makes Phylum unique is the fact that it is technically a 9 base map. There are two large main bases on the long walls instead of on the short ones like on most modern MLG maps. There are then 4 bases in each corner similar to warlock, a fan favourite of Halo 2. There are another two tower bases accessed by jumping on the sides, and the final base structure is the center. MLG Phylum changes the traditional MLG gameplay completely with its unique layout, whilst still retaining that crisp MLG feel.
CR0553D has updated this map multiple times, each time improving it dramatically and always in a positive way.

Phylum is truly a map for all MLG fans, and even for those who just want to see the very high quality of forging exhibited by the creator.

This one slipped under my radar. I haven't seen this one before.

It looks great, I'll be sure to check it out. Everything looks nicely merged and at the right angles and height to ensure great flowing gameplay. Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

This looks fun to play MLG on. Very nice map I like the middle part the best.

I played on this map, around a month ago. I wasn't that amazed. I mean sure its different from it features. But featured? I found that purple and yellow towers are very basic. The gameplay was fun, but not amazing. I don't know if I'm missing anything, so I will have another look at it.

looks like a great map for MLG gametypes and other team games too.

Map Creativity 4.8/5
The map looks like one of the best mlg maps i have seen in a while. The different corners was a good idea, but i think is way overused. The middle part is the best thing about the map scenery wise. Also the different bases with different powerups was a good idea to put in to this already great map. The geomerged "a" signs and "b" signs for the carbines was also a great idea.

Map Quality 5/5
The map quality just looks awesome. The wall floors seen in some of the first pictures were great interlocked and the stairs and corner walls were merged to perfection. I glad you replaced the open double box with the two corner walls and doors. The double box in my opinion just would not fit in to the map.

Weapon Layout 5/5
Everything here is good the weapons looks like they are placed in good spots and the weapon list is mlg standard with the BR and the carbine.

Gameplay Quality 5/5
The gameplay would just be awesome. I could really see a intense game of mlg slayer or mlg CTF on this map. There is enough cover on the map and there is plenty of open space for people who just want to take out the long range weapon and have a great battle to the end.

Overall 4.95/5
Even though i am not a MLG fan, for anybody who is this is the map to play on. The interlocking and geomerging is to perfection and the weapon layout is standard stuff for people who like to take out the BR or the Carbine. The gameplay i think would be awesome, especially with CTF or KoTH.

Final Notes
Great Job and i hope you make some more maps as good as this one.

The map looks great and lives up to MLG style but I'm not seeing enough aesthetic touches as I am used to from MLG maps. I'm glad this got featured though, 4/5.

Killnon2 · 09-01-2008

I guess it is pretty good, but I don't think that it should be featured. The interlocking and geo-merging is GREAT! I just think that the gameplay won't bee that great. No cover, doesn't look like there is much weps, and I do like the mauler in the middle though. I give it a 4/5

i played on this with matty yesterday. due to that i knmew it had to be getting featured. it was an awesome map. but it lacked cover and if you went out in the open you were as good as dead. maybe that was because i was vs. matty and yellow...hmmmm....
