MLGpro thread for the map
I need ALL OF YOU to post on the mlgpro thread also. Why? Well the more of you that post, and the more frequent the posts are, the better chance of my thread hitting the front page. This leads to more downloads and more recognition! <3 you guys.

Download Impulse right now!!

Download Team Domination right now!! (Gametype from CoD that can be used on Impulse. Props to Solo XIII for the ideal)

It's been a long 2 and a half weeks of forging and playtesting. The map is finally ready for release. :D Before I get into the topic of the map, I'd like to thank some people.

Special thanks to:

I spent all night tonight doing the final playtesting with every gametype (except Headhunter). I made the last small adjustments to the map afterward, and now it's complete. The gravity lifts now actually work more efficiently. I have changed the plots for Domination. I have had no frame rate issues, and most others (6-7 out of 8 in a game) don't either.

Alright, so about the map...

Map Name: Impulse

Supported Gametypes: Team Slayer, Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Oddball, Assault, Stockpile, Headhunter, and Domination (MLG Domination is in my fileshare ready to download, and I must give credit to Solo XIII for this awesome gametype idea from CoD)

Recommended Gametypes: Team Slayer, Capture the Flag, Assault, Stockpile, and Domination.

Designer and Forger: Imp3nded

Description: This is a map I decided to make a little after Bungie released their Forge World Vidoc. It is inspired by The Pit from Halo 3, and Midship and Sanctuary from Halo 2. It is a symmetrical 2-base style map (not an arena). This is a big map (the size of the Coliseum). It is meant to be around the size of The Pit from Halo 3. You'll notice that it is much more open than Halo 3's Pit however.

Weapon/Powerup Layout:
- DMR x4
- NR x4
- Concussion Rifle x2
- Pistol x4
- Shotgun x1
- Rocket Launcher x1
- Sniper Rifle x2
- Armor Lock x1
- Plasma Grenade x8
- Fragmentation Grenade x6

This map plays Stockpile, Domination, CTF, Assault, and Slayer very well. Stockpile and Slayer probably being the 2 best.

I hope everyone enjoys. A lot of effort was put into this, and it wasn't just thrown together. :)

Remember to comment on the mlgpro thread too! :D That's the most important part. :3

And sorry you're on at weird hours. ;) We tried inviting you earlier when we were playtesting all of the gametypes.

Hello TLN i have been creeping for a few weeks and figured i had to post when i played this map. first OMG what a Bad ass Map! Second i love design it feels like a familiar map yet it is it's own great map of it's own. Finally Third thanks for making this map keep up the good work.

Thanks, Chopz! Haha, makes me happy to hear that my map was so good that it forced you to come out of your shell and actually post something. :) <3

And I love your description of it. I want it to feel familiar, but I want it to have its own unique gameplay.

I agree with Chopz. Really sick map. I can see there's a lot of hard work gone into it and it shows.

thought the map was sweet, even if i didnt know any callouts. but am sure we'll be playing on many more times and callouts will learned. u got plans to build anymore?

Amazing job Impended. It looks fantastic. I can't wait to try this thing out.

I will build more... once I recover from building this. :)

Nice to see ya Chopz !! thanks for coming on !!

Awesome map broseph, will test out soon because the screenshots and running around on it make me really wanna play it.

Great Job Impended! It's amazing to see your idea come to life. Headed to mlgpro now to spread the word.

Amazing map one of if not the best maps i've played on yet. You should definitely put it up mlgpro and get it featured or TLN could start a featured map section as well ;) either way great work man

Edit: i see its already on mlgpro but TLN could still start a featured map thread/frontpage thing as well :)

Thanks you guys! <3 :)

Its not problem because you deserve it and I hope MLG uses this map :)

I just ran this map with some of my friends tonight and they all thought it was well forged and well thought out. They told me to say you did an excellent job on it and I completely agree. Good Job!

The map has been COMPLETELY revamped. Download Version 2 guys! And reply to that thread also!

Phenomenal job Impended. This map feels and plays great!

theres a version 2?

Yes, emerald. I updated the map. It flows MUCH better than it did before. Much more inclines instead of jump-ups. Just an overall improvement. Download it and reply to the mlgpro thread for version 2! It needs a bump! Everyone do it. ;)

cool i'll download it and post on mlgpro :)
