Description: Lateral is a 4v4 Objective and Slayer map. The map promotes many styles of gameplay, but is highly focused on team communication and DMR skill. The idea was to promote healthy, balanced map flow, “laterally” across the center of the map, where teams flow left and right, up and down and in and out. Mostly every spot in the map is countered by 2 or more other sightlines, which is where the teamwork comes in.
Other Notes: Lateral is very much inspired by The Pit. You’ll see the resemblance in the Base and Sniper Perch. The rest of the map flows much differently, and is very much different.
Budget Remaining: $2,000+
