Best Of Smooth Killing 13rd February | 12 midnight UK |

Wow, one of the best all-time Smooth killing Playlists for me, thanks to the creators for making those awesome Jobs and to the hosts!

Really very difficult to rank them as those are some of the best maps i know and i personally would just verify 4-5 of them if that was possible and also the purpose and style of the creations differed and they are very hard to compare.


1) Kororing Time - wan_kororin
Just an absolute masterpiece in every aspect, top notch aesthetics , great spacing and structure that leads to great gameplay, very creative Transformation of the area and creative use of many different deathmatch-elements especially with the channelling, connecting and the multiple Levels. Some very minor stuff for gameplay that isnt perfect like the gates that open when running through/ Shooting at it or lampposts (but the gates also have a great realistic aesthetic - but if gameplay is the priority here you could extend the heightened floor over the gates) but considering what difficult area this was built at, i dont think that anybody could make a better map in this area at the Moment - one of my favourite maps ever, the first 4 min or so i couldnt stop running around and just admiring the build lol

2) Geometry 1 - prototypetom
Another masterpiece and gameplaywise the winner for me but the kororing map just stood out more in other aspects. Really great to see a 100% self-built map without any native random objects that disturb the flow and gameplay, i think my new favourite self-built Arena as the gameplay is nearly perfect and it has also great aesthetics with some realistic qualities, tidy propcraft and the underwater stuff is also very innovative and interesting, but my favourite part is definetely the central junction construction. Only minor stuff i could think of improving would be maybe a second ramp from the other end of the Little heightened platform in the Center but i guess it would take away too much space from the path to the lower Center. And at some spots (from about the trees straight along the central path) the range seemed a bit Long for a RnGish map, in autoaim it might never bother since its a small window and actually help if you see where People will come from without locking on them but in freeaim it might cause some random Long range kills)

3) - _-Sober Up - tsumutsumudoro
Another great and very inspiring map, great propping and aesthetics, great flow and very innovative Transformation of the area. Especially love all the height alterations and making them useful for gameplay and traversal. Some paths were a bit tight for my taste and i think propping the Swimming pool to be able to walk over it would make the map Overall better than the aesthetics of a real pool but all in all really awesome map.

4) Architecture II - prototypetom
One of the greatest architectural builds i know and the aesthetics are off the Charts too, gameplay is very good too, if it was competing in a different selection it might have been a winner but compared with the other maps it scored a few less Points for me - path structure was a Little more complicated than the others and has more difficult Areas for gameplay like small propped objects (but i guess mostly adjustments to the area) and the native stuff like lampposts , trees etc. but i know too well that those damn Things are hard to completeley avoid in good native Areas 


Close 5) East-Side Ammu-Nation - prototypetom
About the same Rating from me as Architecture II, i really like how this one has more realistic aesthetic and traversal to the upper Areas and in another selection might be a clear winner but has some minor stuff i'm not that fond of, like the openness and Long range sight of the outer streets , especially the North-east street as it has a downhill Advantage and (even though it was better in the recent playthroughs) seemed still the most populated area. If the purpose is more AW style then theyre totally fine but the central paths are pretty RnGish, but a combination of both styles in one map might be a nice idea too. I'm also not a big fan of having to climb over stuff in DM's but here i saw no Problems with it as those spots are rarely near the Action and also look more realistic.

The other two maps from qo8op and craig were really great too but also differ more in style and purpose from the other ones and i guess i'm biased there as for deathmatches i always value gameplay the most and for a classic deathmatch the others just stood out more. I could be wrong but it seemed that the main purpose of qo8ops map is the eerie aesthetics and atmosphere and that he totally nailed on point and i would verify it in a heartbeat for the out-of-the-box category but because of not having clear channelled paths and the Shooting someone / being shot from someone you cant see cause of the fog, it scores fewer Points for me. 
Craigs map is wonderful too , especially the unique aesthetics but the openness of the area, the natural height alterations and the grass cause some difficulties for gameplay.
