Cavern
Designed by: Sethiroth and Darkling Ninja
Created by: Jeff and Sethiroth

This map has been over many changes to get to this point. The map started as a Crypt map, Then moved to skybox, then back to the crypt. The map came from idea i had, What if a map had 8 different hill positions and it never returned to the same one. Well it first i loved the idea, then when i started to design a map to cater the idea i started struggling.

That is where Darkling Ninja came to help. I told him the idea and he loved it and suggested that we come up with a sequence of hill movements first then design a map to it. Well the next day he came up with the hill order then i did the design of the map to fit it. The end result is Cavern.

Right now Cavern is a vary unique map. Its a Inverse Symmetrical map that has ton of Asymmetric Features. I wanted the geometry of this map to be flowing and never ending, so i started with a flat ground and just pulled some areas up and push some down. The map features every MLG Power Weapon, 2 Snipes, Rocket, Mauler, Plasma Pistol, Custom, and Camo. Now you thinking Holy S__T that is alot of weapons for a full crypt map. In my opinion this map provides a much need fastpaced King of the Hill gameplay that i think that MLG Needs. The map also plays a mean Team Slayer and in some peoples opinion its better than King.

Well i am done talking here are some Pics and info to help you guys out.
