ELIXIR by Eightball "This underground covenant sanctum has been said to hold secrets to its abandonment." 2-8 Players. DESIGN Elixir is a 3v3, 4v4 map that I made awhile ago, but never stop testing it and tweaking it to get it just right. The design of elixir is simple, split down the middle vertically it's symmetrical, but split horizontal, it's assymetrical, therefore giving more diversity to the map. You would think that this map suffers from sever framerate lag, but you'd be wrong. In fact, ever since I had removed the purple light form the middle of the map, there isn't any lag at all. It was highly suggested that I do remove the light to improve gameplay, so I did. Thanks Kuroda Special Features Now, there are a few things that are special about this map, that I really rarely ever do, like new weapons, and a new layout with my aesthetics and layout all mixed together. I also have a covenant style bridge going right over a little river running through the middle of the map. Final Notes This map turned out to be a challenge for me as it really made me think about what power weapons to use and what areas of the map could be too over powered. I think I did a pretty good job at making this map flow well and balance for both teams nicely. Weapons x2 Plasma Pistol x2 Plasma Rifle x1 Plasma Launcher x1 Focus Rifle (Respawn: 90) x4 Plasma Grenade x2 Needle Rifle x4 DMR x2 Spiker There is also an Evade on the map to move around quicker.

As IF you hadn't released this already! I remember this map from way back. It was great fun to fight on. I liked how alien it felt, especially compared to some of your other works. Definitely stands apart visually.
this map sucks, there is nothing good about it. ... haha just kiding, this was a fun map, the few games i played on it were mainly me betraying you, but still fun. i liek the smexy caves you got.. also you did not mention me!.. im gonna go kill myself now
Nice, im glad this map is finally up. I also remember testing this long ago with you, and it was a blast! The ceiling looks awesome, and i love the weapons you used. I also love how all of your maps have such bright and vivid colors, it really looks fantastic. The map seemed to flow very nicely, and gameplay was awesome. Good job cant wait to see more!
Thanks for the comments, guys. Oh, sorry Marcass, I didn't realize you helped test the map. I had quite a few people play on it and I didn't remember who exactly. I'll add you to the testers list, don't commit suicide, please.
Your maps never cease to amaze me, eightball. I'll have to catch a look at this map later tonight after winning after steaking the bungie employees. I love how it takes place underground and how it's a covenant base. It gives back-story to the map. it's aesthetically pleasing, and it seems to reflect the feel to some of your older maps. I think the classic feel to this map will help it get a whole heck of a lot of attention. Great job, yet again, eightball!
Truly an objective themed map, I believe multi-flag is it's major strength. Callouts and teamwork are in beautiful synchrony during gameplay, and while I surely think that you should have included neutral flag as well, I suppose it could of had it's own flaws. I'll be keeping this for whenever I've got a good CTF party. This is probably my favorite of all your maps.
This was a blast to play. Objective Games are very fun on this map. The aesthetics were once great. Personally I love the rock and circular ceiling. Over all another great map Eightball. I'd love to get some more games on it.
This map is truly astonishing. The aesthetics of this map take your breath away. The gameplay is fun too, but the aesthetics are what complete this map. The covy bridge, the rock tunnel, and the ceiling are all true works of art. I have to ask on question though. What happened to your awesome border? You gave Elysium such a cool border then you give this one a pink one. I'm just messing with you. The thread is just as good as always, but the map is ten times better.
Thanks guys, I'm glad you like the map @ Confused Flamingo. I could very well set this up for neutral flag. I haven't tried it, but that is a good idea. Maybe we could get some games on it with neutral flag sometime.
This looks pretty cool. I would like to get some games on it. I have seen alot of your stuff and it always looks great, but this looks like the best of them as far as the layout goes. It looks pretty solid so I am sure it plays good but I still want to get some games on it.
This is really a beautiful piece of work eight, you know I always enjoy your design style and this map is no different. My favorite part of the map is honestly the bridge its just so covenant, and the dark feeling the walls and design give the map really adds to the atmosphere. I can always tell you take the time and patience similiar to my style to get every little detail perfect no matter the delay on releasing a project, and I really love that. I'd enjoy getting in a game on this soon so hit me up with a message if you happen to be on today or over the weekend if you would. Great job as always.
Awesome work as always Eightball! I especially like the rocks on the ceiling and don't get me started on the bridge. You just rock at bringing cool looking pieces into your maps. If you have time could you invite me for a game on Elixir?
Hit me up on XBL my GT is: iTz EightBall. Thanks for the comment, you're the first architect to comment on my maps. Thanks man, I will be running more tests as many people want to try it out. I will definitely hit you up. Thanks for the comments. You most definitely can get some games on it. Thanks for the comments on the roof, I really tried to go for an underground theme for this map.
its a great map i remember playing it/ helping you with some of the ideas in the middle its a great map i am gald to see it up here at last
Thanks Tenshi. Did you help test? I don't remember, sorry. If you did , let me know so I can put your name on the testers list. I'm glad you like the map, thanks for the comment.
Thanks again man. I added in the grav lifts to the map to make a quicker way to the top level of the map for easier movement around the map. I'm glad you like the rock ceiling as I really tried to come up with a creative way to make the ceiling stand out. Even though not many people look at ceilings on maps, this ceiling is quite hard to not notice.
I remember playing a game or two on this one a LONG time ago, very fun. I love the whole courtyard feel of the map with the upper level surrounding it. The bridge in the middle is also a very nice and original touch. I see you switch out the normal snipe for focus rifle (unless we were just playing slayer pro or something) which works better for this because of the openness from one side to the other. Overall another great map and one of my favorites from you that I've had a chance to play on.
I cant believe I havent posted on this yet. Anyway, gameplay is solid and smooth, and after one match I knew layout perfectly and knew this would be a solid map. Sad you had to take out the purple light, though, it added the perfect touch.
Great map!!! I was a bit put off by the flag spawns at first. It plays great though. I still can't help but think how cool it would be with the flags on the upper level. It could lead to some great flag toss opportunities. Again, Great map!!!
