Socratic Method
Created By Predicide
Recommended Players: 6-12
Recommended Gametypes: Conquest
Continuing the theme of "first features" on Sandbox, Socratic Method is the first Conquest map to grace our front page via this sandy forger's paradise. Predicide's latest work offers a fresh twist to the traditional Conquest system. A small fork on each side pinches the middle territory, creating a new twist on the gametype we all know and love, while still maintaining the game's nature and push-and pull premise very well. This frantic deviation creates a slightly more chaotic and unpredictable essence that keeps players on their toes and itching for more.
Did we mention this map is gorgeous? We didn't? Well, it is, in fact, gorgeous as well. Each individual base has its own theme to help boost the map's overall experience and re-playability. One base is themed after a castle, while the other is themed like an ancient roman temple. However, despite some cosmetic differences, each base functions much the same, and balance is still maintained. Each base features a high spawn hive to help boot out far-pressing opponents, a custom power up, as well as a one-man teleporter box that leads to the opponent's hall where you can help your team slow down opponent forces. Socratic Method is both an excellent excercise in showing just how far deep Conquest can go, and an amazing display of forging skills. Be sure to congratulate Predicide and download this gem ASAP.
