After shipping Tanith officially back in December, with update 340, I had some requests and a backlog of ideas that I wanted to work on. Prior to Tanith, my plans for Natural Selection 2 were to detail my good friend Malpractice's Nexus map which was popular in the competitive circuit (and somewhat in the public eye for a period). At the time, I didn't feel like I could honestly create anything that would have lived up to what we both wanted to do. Tanith was sort of a fallback for learning under the tutelage of the other members of the mapping community, and the output far exceeded my wildest dreams. It's currently the most played map by far in the recently released matchmaking system, and it's played commonly on public servers as well. I've received a lot of kind words from many people, and now that I've overcome my impostor syndrome, I wanted to do things right by Mal.

The map is still in its infancy, but I'm slowly working through it to create something moody. I really wanted to capture the feel of the original map from Natural Selection.
Here's the unfortunately named "Pipe Room." I'll probably change that at some point.
And this is "Painted Corridor"
