Narcosis

Finally I release a map! Narcosis is a totally competitive, asymmetrical, highly tuned map designed for TS and Ball. As everyone says, this is not "some thrown together map." As my roommate would attest, I've spent a rather ridiculous amount of time intertwining and adjusting everything this map, not to mention imagining and sketching its many elements in the first place. I'm currently working on player and objective spawns for CTF play which will likely follow in an update.

In short, Narcosis is the first really well designed map that actually features interesting geometry that interacts with itself. Unlike most bland, 4 way symmetrical arena maps, Narcosis isn't a cluster-blam!- spawning nightmare devoid of map movement or power-ups. Nor is it a standoff map designed for Lockout style sit-back-and-watch-one-doorway play.

I designed Narcosis as a painstaking tribute the Halo 1 maps that were both asymmetrical and amazing. On it, you'll find:

-1 Rocket Launcher (Drop spawn 60 sec, 0 extra clips)
-1 Camo (1 min)
-1 OS (1 min)
-1 Sniper (Dropspawn 90 sec, 1 extra clip)
-1 Mauler (90 sec, 0 extra clips, 1 max)
and assorted Carbines

Leaving the map should not be a problem as long as you're not trying to do it in a custom game by yourself. In the future I'm considering budget glitching this map slightly to provide better safeguards against partner boosts and a few assorted grenade jumps.

Finally, and this is the big one:

I NEED PLAYTESTING FOR THIS MAP. It is absolutely tested and guaranteed competitive, flowing and fun. However, problems always arise and I want this map to be as good as it can possibly be (perhaps even on the MLG circuit). For that to happen, it needs truly rigorous playtesting, the kind that can only come from a horde of rabid forumgoers like yourselves.

Download the map, enjoy it, send me an FR @ ii s3m ii.
