Hi Folks,
Quick update for those of you that haven't played the new map yet.
ARTIFACT is a medium-sized classic map (i.e. designed for up to 8 players) set in El Mirador, deep in the Guatamalan jungle. EXOCOM and DRAYOS fight for control over an ancient temple compound where an Edenium based artifact was found.
Multi-level with spring boards and lifts around the shop. The thing I like best about this map is the weapon location and weapon spawn. Even if you know where the weapons are, you still need to hunt for them. Only rarely will you spawn right next to one (like some other arena games). This means you have to rely on your bounce and your trusty Raven (pistol). It makes for some very good melee and improves your accuracy. I've seen a few 16 player servers but to be honest it's better with 8. Lots of "git" spots and ways to run up behind your foes.
Check it out!! :boxing::woot2::boxing:
It's a fun map for sure, well designed.
I do feel though, that you have to hunt too much for the guns.
If it was a 4-6 player map it might be a lot better, but with 8 players ... hmmm, competition is fierce.
