These 2 maps are brilliant. Firstly with Blackout, i aint calling it Shutout, nostalgia speaking. Anywho, This map is amazing for competitive play. Me and my team have been able to setup, and with Callouts and teamwork we have been shredding teams 600-(50-150) all night. The better team wins, which is how it should be. Also with the constant sniper spawning, it makes competition more fierce, which is what the community needs.
Now on the the beloved Simplex. This map has been used in the MLGv1 settings, and where i am from (Australia), we had that map in our own leagues settings/maps as well. The map is symmetrical, and a team that can setup strong and use teamwork in aid with callouts, the better team wins. Ive been reading ALOT,a lot of hate for this map, and it seems to be coming from casuals who are being decimated because they arnt good (to put it bluntly). i love simplex, and all my friends and teamates love simplex. it is a good map and is very, very good for competitive play. This is what the competitive community needed, and these 2 maps are a start
