When I was first exposed to the Edge map way back I thought it was a flawed map in many ways. In fact I immediately dis-assembled it and started to modify it in my map-making software. Here's the things that bugged me.

1) Too much armor in the mega-health room. Too many people tended to hang in there constantly replenishing themselves and would either pick off re-spawns from there or resist an attack to dislodge them by having more armor. I wanted a red armor under the stairs where the small shotgun is (bottom arena area) to balance things if you spawned below.

Theres only 1 YA and 4 shards in mega, its not too much

2) Railgun location thru the water tunnel. Only one way in - one way out. Great camping spot in FFA. In 1 vs 1 it makes you a sitting duck trying to get out of the water. Witness the Thresh vs Bilox match. For a "fast" map it takes way too long to get this weapon. Needs an alternate exit.

Railgun is a very strong gun on dm1 cause its so wide open.

that map all depends on hogging resorces and if your lucky enough to be the first one to do it kudos to you if not then it's an uphill battle. it may be a fun mapin a populated server but 1v1 its a bullshit map always thought so.

DM server is fucked. 2 point blank rockets from spawn and lava damage and player survived? WTF?" Also someone has fucked with the spawn points, every single time no matter how big the map you spawn right in front of the person who killed you last
