Default Bottleneck


Bottleneck
Created by TrueDarkFusion & BetaWaffle

Bottleneck is a small 1v1 map created for Tier 5 of Forge Hub's 1v1 Showdown. Its map design promotes close range hand to hand combat as well as sniping.

At first glance Bottleneck can seem too small for any size match to take place on. The odd reality of it is, you will find yourself trying to outwit an enemy a level above or below you. It's various shield doors and fence walls break up fighting, only for brief stand offs. It is designed to push players to make the right decisions in a clutch kill scenario with pinpoint accuracy.

Even the best of players can find themselves pinned into a corner by an enemy wielding nothing but a spike grenade and a horrible disposition toward your mother. Don't feel threatened, the better of the two's score will reflect skill level accurately.

Bottlenecks impressive arsenal might seem overwhelming, but the gameplay definitely promotes the use of all the weapons on the map. Whether your sniping across the long upper hall or sticky punching your way down below, the ability to time and plan out your attacks will be key in order to gain control over your opponent. While the map does have an open area for sniping, your sniper will more or less be used for close range attacks.

Spikers are the mid-range weapon of choice and the perfect weapon when paired with a Plasma Rifle or a Power Drainer for even more carnage. Tactics on this map vary greatly. This map will easily conform to your needs.

This and reactor core are definately my favorite maps so far. Reactor core was basic but very fun (especially the fusion coils).

From the pics this looks excited.

Downloading.

No but there is scenery visible outside the map. Also there is an easter egg, shouldn't be too hard to find.
