    Description:
    Earthbound is a symmetrical map that uses the large scale ground floor of sandbox, and the cover of large tactical bases. Not much can be said because it is a simple map, but also plays brilliantly on team slayer, swat, natural bomb, and multi flag.

    Posts like this make me want to cry.

    WHY CAN'T FORGE HUB BE LIKE IT WAS IN THE FOUNDRY DAYS.

    Spam on the map boards was at the verge of non existent.

    EDIT LOL: And i almost forgot, i like this map A LOT. It's quite urban feeling. I'll dl when i can, but by the looks, it can cater to Snipers and BRers alike. Very balanced.

    You can has 8/10.

    EDIT ROFL: After a dl, i found that the map is occasionally bumpy, and the the parts underneath with the Huge Blocks on the top would probably be better with walls, to make it much more lively so us trick jumpers can do what we do best =)

    This looks pretty nice. For some reason though, it reminds me of the pit. The only difference is that the pit has a big wall going through it. This has sniper towers and is symmetrical too. I really like this. I also noticed the mongeese. They will definitly assist in the capturing of the enemy flag in CTF. Also, I would love to know the weapon list please. that would definitly do this post and your map justice. Goood job and keep up the good work.

    Are you planning a v2?
    'cause I love this map, but it's not perfect, you see.
    As previously mentioned, there's some bumps here and there, and..

    Well, allright, I haven't had an -actual- match on it yet.
    But I'm silver'd, I won't get over 4 players. Still, walking around it on my own shows it off as a fair to great map.

    Looks realy good. I like the raised walkways with over head cover. Map looks to have good flow. I'll come back with my thoughts later. I do see a profound lack of cover or geometrical cover.

    v. 2 will be a lot different. The middle may be redesigned and parts of the bases may be tken out or improved. Itr will probably be out in a few days.
