Archaic


Archaic
Created by HezbollaHector and Goatnuts420

Recommended Players: 6-8
Recommended Gametypes: MLG Slayer, King of the Hill, and Sky Ball

A synergist is a muscle which helps the primary muscle to function properly. They act to stabilize every motion that our primary muscle undergoes, especially in delicate tasks. Think about every time you twitch your thumb to perfect that four-shot or send a .50 caliber round straight to your opponent’s head. Your body is using its synergists to control your movements. Just as your body’s synergists perfect every movement, Archaic perfects the player. Every decision the player makes is put in check by the map itself. To act, but not over re-act and help the player to do his primary duty: terminate the opposition.

Archaic itself is a wonderful map for competitive gamers. It stacks two rings with plenty of ramps, lifts, and quick-jumps and its asymmetrical layout has great lines of sight and cover with the standard MLG weapon layout. Archaic is best played with the attached MLG gametypes, King of the Hill and Sky ball with teams of three to four players. Click, download, and be synergized.

This map is loads of fun, no real surprise here. Flawless forging, a very unique style, and great gameplay to follow up. Congrats Hector for your first feature, and goatnuts for premium.
Not many casual section features coming lately, has there been? Oh well this definitely deserved it.

EDIT: Yyyaayy first

I am extremely happy that this map was featured. However, I was waiting for v2 to get it :P. I had many, many forge/walk throughs on this map, mainly because I love the layout. Sandbox maps tend to lack originality, especially in the sky bubble. I first played it in my last TGIF. The gameplay was spectacular, and I felt right at home.

Welcome to Premium, goats. And grats hector.

Played it a few times before with the makers.
Enjoyed it very much. It definately isn't you typical 4 base MLG map. It's actually the first asymmetric MLG map I truy enjoyed besides the official ones already in the pro circut.

One problem I did have was call-outs. But I'm still reviewing some and trying to remember them correctly.

Other than thats gratz to the both of you.
bbbbbbyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee :)



Roche is the most awesome guy ever.

I was looking at this map with Whats a Scope. It looks pretty sweet, although i don't like how you have to jump from the second floor to the first to get the OS

I've heard so much about this map and yet this is the first time I have seen it. The forging looks really clean and looks like the utmost time and effort was put into it's creation. Also in the OP, Sky Ball is recommended as a gametype, what may I ask is it and where can I download it? I'll be downloading the map and checking it out tonight, I'm not so much into MLG, but I'm sure I'll have some fun on this map.

I think Hez and Goat are pretty cool guys. They get featured and doesn't afraid of anything.

On a more serious note, this map grapes face.
