    UPDATE: Check out Version Two of this map for all recent additions.

    Eclipse is a slayer/team slayer based symmetrical map. At first, my basis for the structure was heavily influenced by Guardian. However, the more I forged the more it became its own unique map. Both Red and Blue base share common connections through the central hub, yellow base and the cave. The floor, while open, has coverage for players on the bottom. It was my first map I have ever built but let me know what you think of it. I hope you have fun with ECLIPSE.

    Weapons on the map:
    4 DMRs
    2 Snipers
    2 Needlers
    2 Plasma Rifles
    2 Plasma Repeaters
    2 Assault Rifles
    1 Rocket Launcher
    1 Energy Sword
    ----
    4 Plasma Grenades
    6 Frag Grenades

    You might want to think about placing soft kill zones on top of each base (the discs) because players could get up there with a jetpack and rain down fire while being relatively covered.

    Believe it or not, I was debating this before putting up on the forums. I don't know why I decided against it, I must've just been trigger happy to finally get it up. The map was play tested and it never became a factor but it couldn't hurt just to make that addition. Thanks for the feedback.

    I generally dont like maps with killballs on slayer, but this could work...
    very nice OP, very nice...

    also, could you add some screenshots of weapon spawns 'cuz i hate not knowing where things spawn...

    Haha. I have no idea why I called it Eclipse, it just felt like it fit. Thanks for the compliment. BTW, you didn't happen to get you're gamertag from Pink Floyd did you? Just cause of the album DARK side of the moon and the last song ECLIPSE. I know, random question but they're my favorite band.

    It was my first attempt at a map so I didn't realize the connotation that follows Killballs. They're like an equivalent to trees indoors (which I also like). I just thought it'd add some color and visual aesthetic to the map.

    But, I'll definitely post pics with weapon spawn asap. I'm actually working on spawns right now. So, I'll post them when I update the link too.
