Displacement: TLN Map Quest

[wcdd7]

Displacement is a map that favors 5 Flag and 5 Bomb. Spawn killing is critical and the spawn system is easy to understand. A good team will constantly be in control of their own balcony and their opponents balcony, forcing teams to find alternatives to the elevator or balcony quick jump. Displacement features rockets bottom mid, two health packs n the upper corners, and a jet pack in each tunnel. It is a very quick-paced map, with rooms that are the right size for Halo Reach battles.

Thanks to:
Solo XIII for the help with item coordination/ideas for the aesthetics of the original layout/spending that night helping me reforge the map. Hell, the map would have been a shell of what it is now without your help.
Lottography for the upcoming gameplay video. Amazing what people will do on their own initiative. Thanks, man!
SecretSnitzshel and RJ for the assistance with the quick-jumps. They have definitely grown on me!

I did not want your thread to not have any replies..

This is very well built map and i am glad that you still enjoy forging...

Good luck and best wishes...

[iUndrground]

I looked at it on Reach. Its really good and it seems like a good mlg ts and/or oddball map. Please check out mine and Inexist's.

Thanks man, I will be sure to stop by that thread. The map should really play flag/bomb the best.

I support anything that is Elimination related. This map is easily a favorite IMO. If anyone is wondering what Elimination is, just click here. (http://forums.majorleaguegaming.com/topic/204617-the-official-elimination-thread/)

Got a 4v4 the other day, and it actually played MLG a hell of a lot better than I thought it would. Similar to an Onslaught that relied on some, but not abusive spawnkilling.

Awwwww, and I missed it. Shame on my drunkenness and going to bed at an almost reasonable hour of 4am... :(

[PK Toolboxxx]

saw this map in customs last night. pretty sick not goin to lie.

[wcdd7]

Running customs on this right now, if anyone is interested.

[a Polish Korean]

I can't get on now :/.

If you get a chance, could you run a game on Preserve and save the films?

[wcdd7]

In your fileshare?

[a Polish Korean]

My map? Yea it's in my fileshare.

[wcdd7]

Testing, need an eighth and we will cap that gameplay

[a Polish Korean]

Thanks Dawkins <3.

[wcdd7]

What gametype?

[a Polish Korean]

Oddball I guess. It's up to you guys.

[wcdd7]

Gameplay is in my file share, and massive changes have taken place on Displacement! Very happy with the way testing went this afternoon, have had no design complaints, one screen lag complaint which could very well be actual lag since all 8 people were in one room at the same time, and few spawn complaints (editting out the ones where teams forced people to spawn on top of them.)

Definitely a map where you have to control spawns, and flag and bomb are crazy fun. V2 up soon. I will resubmit it after testing tomorrow.

Well crud, I can't really post my feed back on the subject if you've made changes I can't see yet. :O
Aside from the minor issues such as spawning that you've already addressed, my only complain is the linear approach to the balconies. As of the moment the only ways up are via ladder or swapping sprint for a JP. Perhaps if there was some skill jump from objective up to balcony it would force a more dynamic flow on the map?

[wcdd7]

Come play with that idea in forge with me. Not sure that I have a piece that will do the job effectively.

This map plays unreal. I love it. Bomb gameplay is on my fileshare, Lottography

[KRILLIN]

Pretty sweet! Seems like a nice tight map.

Thanks man. It is playing pretty damn well right now. Come by whenever you want!

[wcdd7]

OP updated to reflect the changes to the map, and the new download link.

[Lotto]

I have someone capping the gameplay from my fileshare. I'll post it up for you or PM you the link, once I get it for you to put in the OP.

You, sir, are awesome. Thank you so much for that.

[a Polish Korean]

Heavy favorite to win the contest right here. At first, I was very skeptical about an Elimination map working well for MLG gametypes, but this map has single-handedly proven me wrong.

Haha sorry man, I was playing with some pros yesterday getting my ass reamed.

[Lotto]

Sent you PM with a link to the gameplay :D. I do believe I did well getting views from every part of the map, so you should be able to see everything.

[wcdd7]

Gameplay video added to OP. Thanks for the help Lotto!

Rewatching that and realizing I could not hit my shots to save my life. I guess the lacking of teamshot on our side made that game kinda frustrating haha.
