2v2 Faceoff Tournament - Round 13 - Championship Map

12 rounds and 1,022 players down. Only 2 teams, and one map stand. What a way to cap off a spectacular tournament than with an absolutely incredible map. Draw the Line does it again with Slate Creek. A map born for doubles, its figure 8 style creates a very natural flow as players circle and wrap around each other in epic bouts. Controlling the center bridge and Spartan Laser will only get you so far. No one weapon or position is too dominant, meaning teamwork is an certain necessity to success.

From a technical aspect, Slate Creek could not have been forged any cleaner. Clean merging and interlocking perfectly complement its stellar gameplay. With great use of elevation and ground cover, Slate Creek's organic layout would have players marveling at their surroundings had their virtual lives not been in constant danger. In short, Slate Creek is about as close to perfect as a 2v2 map can possibly get.

Hmm. From the pics, I do not like that this will be the championship map. It seems as if both teams will try to control the Spartan Laser, offering easy kills. I would much rather have seen a Br and Carbine only map or something along those lines. The map is very nice, but the weapon choice could be slightly better

I'm not sure about that. Maybe I'm not very good with the spartan laser, but it seems difficult to use the laser well in such a small map. I'll have to try it out though. Great map Draw the Line.

[Linubidix]

Awesome, it's out. I cannot wait to play this, I've heard marvellous things about this.

Draw the Line dishes out another epic map that will become the measuring stick to which all maps are compared to.

The Spartan Laser certainly does not offer easy kills. The map is built around the concept of moving angles. Players can evade on this map, which is why teamwork is so important. Each weapon on the map (including carbines and Brs) have their own strengths and weaknesses, so you have to constantly adapt if you want to survive.

Give it a try and I'm sure your opinion will change.

Yes, I'm sure it will, as I know that you can't judge a map by its pictures. If I ever go back onto Halo, I will defiantly check this map out.

From my experience of the map today, this is certainly true. We both went for the Spartan alot out of habit, but found that it didn't offer nearly as much of an advantage as expected. The obvious spot to try and use it is the center bridge, having the best views of spread areas, but movement on the lower level is so fluid that you find yourself having a good deal of cover through the different angles as you move around. The curve of the canyon seems tight and covered, yet large and open enough, which really impressed us both. The matches were only 1v1 but we both found it seriously fun.

yes. i will be defiant as well and check this map out... seriously tho. looks exceptional. when will it be posted with more pictures, description, etc.?
