Key Points
I acted as the primary level designer while collaborating with Cory “Horse Strangler” De La Torre (Env Art)
Taking place on an offshore Oilrig, Blackgold was designed and intended for casual fast pace play, specifically deathmatch. Blackgold features a layout with sprawling verticality, married by tight CQC spaces and contrasting long sight-lines.
Blackgold has been featured twice in “seasons” and rotated in official matchmaking. It has ranked as the most played casual map.
