Forgehub 2v2 Faceoff, Round 8.

Here fishy fishy… oh sorry. Amalgam, as the name implies, is a combination of two already featured maps, Troika & the classic Exacted. Don’t expect an exact reproduction of the two maps, there are many new structures built specifically to enhance the open but not cover-less area. Vast arrays of weapons, equipment and power ups have been strategically placed to encourage movement around the map. The Troika part of the map boasts an exquisite fish tank, sparse cover and a ladder to high ground complete with view of almost the entire arena. This is, however, well balanced with the Exacted section which is full of strategic cover and a large curved base perfect for ridding people atop the tower.

Woah looks awesome! I like those boxes that make that circle thing and that wall with fence boxes. The interlocking an geo-merging are epic on this! It is done so well. I must d/l this!

Ya i havnt seen this map before but im sure this does deserve the feature, all because of its unique layout. I reall love the corner with all the double boxes.

congrats on feature

amazing map, I've been waiting for this post for a day or two now, after seeing it on tex's youtube profile. Amazing map, looks like gameplay is fun although spawns look off from what I can see in the video (when I watched it).

I am wondering what each next new map reveals day by day!

Yeah, the video is bad for two reasons. 1 - It was a test game that was played before the spawns were finalized. 2 - it was a 3 on 3 match on a 2v2 map. This map is really small, and the more people that are in it, the more chances that you'll get bad spawns. I told Tex I had other videos that were better, but I think it was too late by then. Oh well, no biggie.
Anyway, it's really only to just show off the map layout and give people a preview. Glad it's getting received well so far though. :D

edit: BTW, why doesn't this post have the 2v2 graphic and information on what round it is? You guys might want to edit that in there so it looks official and people know that this isn't a feature - it's a tournament map.



Since when did what we pay for colored cloth gauge our gravity?
Cyclopean - Asymettric map. Made of Gold.
Troika - Asymettric map complete with fishtank! zomgz!
Amalgam - 2v2 Tournament map. Exacted/Troika amalgamation.

The map was pretty nice when i had the forge through on it, i could very easily see the mixture of those maps. Good job Neverless and nice write up Vice.

Woah there is some awesome stuff going on in this map. It's perfectly forged/interlocked etc etc blah blah. It looks like it flows great. My favorite is the weird looking shield thing you have up between the A signs.

A-

Castle Crashers Music FTW.

The map is really good, and interlox almost to perfection! The Curved boxes thing is cool, too!

Nice work again on the Tournament maps, this one looks to be my favorite thus far. Aside from the excellent consrtuction and asthetics that cover the whole map, I REALLY like the fence wall/shield wall thing jutting out of the ground in pic #2. It is truly a genius aesthetic masterpiece. As well as the rounded box wall, and eveyr other feature of the map. An EXCELLENT choice for the tournament, I definately love and am DLing. 5/5
