Default Electric Slide


Electric Slide
Created By Cosmic Rick

Gametypes Supported: Faceoff Slayer, Faceoff KotH and Faceoff 2-Flag
Recommended Players:
4

2v2 Faceoff. Round 4.

Hopefully you didn't get too comfortable on Yukon Canyon, because things are going to be a little more claustrophobic in Round 4. While the first two maps tested your high-ground-control and BR-wielding skills respectively, your best friend on Electric Slide is the trusty frag grenade.

Make sure you're caught up with your trigonometry homework, because a knowledge of the many grenade-bouncing angles available on this map will give you a huge advantage, particularly in the King of the Hill gametype. The diagram HERE will give you a brief overview of important bounce angles. The mauler and regenerator will allow you hold down certain areas, while the trip mine and sniper rifle will help you clear out a hunkered-down opponent.

The central 'geodesic jewel' and the constantly sliding 'danger-meter' in the basement add some visual flair to the map. Just don't spend too much time checking them out or you're certain to catch some shrapnel in the back. Keep an eye on your opponents, let your grenades do the sneaking, and fight it out for your spot on the next tier of the 2v2 Faceoff!

looks really good, especially the dome in the center. You can throw nades through the gaps can't you? I would really like to see more pictures, or is this it?

Woah Woah Woah where did Round 3 go? Anyway I love the map, especially the ability to shoot down from the top level. The aesthetics are brilliant, I'm sure the gameplay is too. What can I say Cosmic Rick you've done it again.

This map has a very unique look. The center dome is awesome. I like the prospect of figuring out the best grenade bouncing possibilities(so many angled walls). The partner that I signed up with for the tournament has ditched me for the moment. Hopefully, I will get him back so we can win in the loser's bracket and get to play in competition on this map. If not I will still download and enjoy. Thanks!

Round 3 is this week (8th-15th) and Yukon Canyon is still the map used, only the losers bracket are playing round 3 though, so all you winners bracket teams get a week off until round 4.

Temple Nights Large asymmetrical map, great for infection and one sided objective.

First off i'd like to say good luck to everyone who got this far, even if i didnt compete :) the map itself looks great and the "danger-meter" concept sounds very interesting. I might give a DL just to see what that is lol :P

o.0 how recent is this map because i thought that heat sink was rick's most recent map X_X


Scooter: uuuuuuh, what's the internet?

Craig: well basically, the internet is this entity that helps keep the world revolving. If the internet ever crashed, the world would stop spinning in space, and probably explode!

Heatsink was started a while back, it just took Cosmic some time to perfect it. He took a small break in the middle of Heatsink to forge the beauty you see here before you. This map is so in tune with my playing style its ridiculous. Great job, Cosmic. If you're a grenade spamming whore like me, you'll love this map. Brilliantly forged, and plays like a dream.
