Meet your Maker Forge Contest: Squad CTF: Disambiguation
This is the first entry into the third installment of the
Meet Your
Maker forge contest series. This map is a symmetrical 5v5 objective focused map. There are two small islands separated by a small river. A fortified base sits atop each island and the chasm between them is connected by a single-wide bride.
Vehicles are a very prominent part of the gameplay of the map and the extensive array of routes between the two bases adds to the replayability.
About Meet Your Maker:
-The series was founded on collaborative principals between communities, where instead of operating independently of each other creating contest overlap, we decided to band together and coordinate our efforts as one, as friends. This also allows us to focus on the competition at hand and not on the competition of parties involved. With that said we have a lot of motivational candy to enrage your rabid sense of competition.
