Description | Maps like this fit the metanet and Legacy style *perfectly*, and filled the episodic format unbelievably well.
But when we were doing testing, our benchmark was so high, that even really good, solid, fun maps ended up getting the axe. This is a perfect example of a phenomenal map that didn't make the cut, honestly, even though there were worse maps that did make it into the packs. This is because most of the maps that we liked started to look and play like one another. So, to cut down on the pack feeling boring or repetitive, we would end up cutting better maps in favor of worse ones to give the packs some additional variety. This was the primary idea behind the Ampersand project; when we realized this tendency to build each episode and column uniquely, we understood that we were going to end up with two things; 1. Way too many maps for the 1000-map goal and 2. Maps that we were going to like but still had no place in the pack(s). In either case, Splintered Ground is a textbook example of these. |

That aside, the map is indeed really nice. I like how its elements encourage riskier play. And the zap drone is just perfectly timed with the action.
