My New Forge Map: Paladin (Asymmetrical, Ball/TS)

Download Paladin

Summary: Paladin is meant to be played 4v4 with Oddball or Team Slayer settings. It was designed for MLG 1.1 settings, but does not suffer at all when played with MLG 2.0 settings. In fact, I enjoyed it even more. Inspired by Guardian, Paladin focuses on strict map control through teamwork, and places the two power weapons opposite each other, in a way which forces sacrifice of position to acquire them.

Credit: Credit where Credit is due: The original map concept and the majority of the work for v1 - v2 was done by myself. After v2 Rawryno helped with weapon positions, major adjustments with aesthetics, and is the sole reason why the gold lift works as well as it now does (I couldn't figure out how to make the d@mn thing work right in v1). For the very important help, changes, and tips he provided, he is also to be credited as co-forger.

Download, Rate, Play, Test, Suggest, Comment, and try to break it. I really enjoyed this concept, and I never knew making Asyms could be so much fun. If anyone would like to collaborate to make an asym map for competitive purposes, don't hesitate to let me know. (I'm looking at you, Kurtiz)

I will definitely be taking what I learned making this map to all future maps made.

Currently working on writing up a neat thread for the official release of Paladin. Still need to edit my photos, but I'll put up un-edited ones in the meanwhile.
