The second creation in the appropriately named "Lametastic Map Pack" is Moxie, a medium-sized symmetrical map inspired by my first endeavor, Ambition.

Ambition wasn’t received as well as I had hoped and instead of just letting it die, I stubbornly went back to the drawing board to try and fix my mistakes. The biggest improvement was making Moxie symmetrical. This alone fixed several problems as well as simplifying a potentially confusing design. Two symmetrical wings border two unique walled-off sections in the center. The strategic placement of entrances in and around this central hub creates some interesting encounters and multiple paths of escape.

Moxie features two levels, with noticeably less cover on the lower level but more potential for fast getaways with the two mongooses. The sniper spawn on each wing creates some dynamic initial rushes as opposing teams have a direct view of their enemy’s sniper from their own spawn.

Multiple angles of the wings:

Like all of my competitive maps, Moxie was designed and tested primarily for Slayer, but supports all gametypes fairly well. At least four players are ideal with a maximum of around 10. Moxie feels larger than it actually is but too many players can really affect the spawning.

Moxie has endured countless changes and evolved considerably since its conception. Additional testing would have been nice, and there are always elements I would like to tinker more with but the final product has created some memorable experiences among my friends and I hope you will enjoy it too. Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking!
