Duncan Hills (http://xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6063) is Urban Myth (http://xforgery.com/forum/member.php?u=692)'s latest offering here at XForgery. Famous for his conquest map The Hollow (http://xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4968) (also a feature here), Urban has proven that he can make a Big Team Battle map that's both competitive and fun. This map has gone through numerous tests and tweaks to ensure gameplay is balanced no matter where you are on the map. In the end, all that extra detail has finally payed off in a big way.

As for the map itself, it was inspired by other maps such as Castlanche (http://www.forgehub.com/forum/competitive-maps/48250-castlanche.html) from Forgehub and Sahara of Snow (http://www.forgehub.com/forum/competitive-maps/86728-sahara-snow.html) created by our very own aMoeba (http://xforgery.com/forum/member.php?u=127) (which is a feature BTW). While they were just inspirations, it was Urban's imagination and creativity that gives this map it's own identity and uniqueness. Utilizing infantry combat, vehicular combat, and creating pathways in areas that are "underused", Duncan Hills (http://xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6063) successfully blends these elements together to create a map that's sure to be on your harddrive for a long time.

Be sure to congratulate Urban Myth (http://xforgery.com/forum/member.php?u=692) on his second feature here at XF. He deserves it!

I was almost dissapointed, I though that you made this without putting in a dethklok reference, but you did lol. It seems like there is little cover, but idk. Looks good though.
*Insert Duncan hills jingle*

Thanks for the feature XF! I'm glad that this map got this kind of attention. Can't wait to see the video.:)

[mista tipsta]

Thanks for putting up the video, but I have no idea why you didn't use the original Duncan Hills instead. Tim said it would be a time issue but after reviewing the video, there was about 25 seconds of the mario theme song in the video. 1:44 - 0:25 = 1:19 which is only 9 seconds longer than the original song. Those nine seconds could have been the credits instead.

Overall, I liked the video but the song kept skipping... :neutral: Plus you said Deathlock XD

Congrats on the feature, Urban. You deserve it. I think you're becoming the new Gunnergrunt. :)

Oh, and that was the beat feature video yet, Zak!

[Gunnergrunt]

I think you're becoming the new Gunnergrunt.

Does that make me the old Gunnergrunt?

Grats, Urban! Sorry I couldn't handle the video this time around, Zak. I went out of town at the wrong time!

Congrats Urban on Duncan Hills I didnt know what to think when this map got featured but then when we played it I was like wow I'm not surprised at all. Overall very good map. Awesome video I like when I got in the warthog in that one part with the flag then WTF red guy on the back?? Nice job

[samsternator]

Nice. Very Nice indeed good man.
The Hollows just blew me away, but a second great feature is just great:)
