Re-worked map from the chain series Withdrawal Symptoms.

NOW UPDATED V2 TO REMOVE SOME GLITCHES AND MAKE SLIGHTLY HARDER / EASIER DEPENDANT ON MIND SET.

Wanted to attempt to modify the map in order to make tyronis not complete it within 30 seconds each time!!!

So here is the official attempt. I will look into making the map harder and harder to complete. where eventually i hope to make it near on impossible unless you are mad and insanely talented at shooting quickly, or doing insane portal flips like this person has proven to be...

Best of luck to all who try it. The first jump is a hard one, and careful of the few traps.

Well I hope Tyronis likes it because I liked it better the other way. This was just plain mean!

The cube fizzles portals eh?
Well that got rid of one bug I suppose...
I did however find 1 or 2 more but can't upload em atm. Will later/tomarrow.

Aside from the

air-strafing you need to do in order to get to the button

, I thought it was a fun, challenging map. Maybe it's just me, but I'd think you could add this to your map pack. That is, if you want another "try anything twice approach" map. Or you could replace the current version, either way, great map.

I really like the changes compared to the last version of this map. Good direction you go there!
Here is my blindrun of the new version:

re-worked. Hopefully taking out some of the glitches you may have done already.

updates:

- Removed glitch where cube only removed 1 set of portals. now correctly removes every portal every time you pick it up.
- Changed map slightly to accommodate glitch removal.
- Fixed issue of laser catching you on jump. Moved slightly away from wall.
- Fixed issue of sometimes heavy landing on side wall after glitch causing death due to trigger point being just under place of landing. Raised wall to accommodate.

Thinking on making this a "try twice" approach to map as difficulty of level increased a touch, and removal of some speed run approaches. hopefully updates solve some issues you may have raised tyronis.
