Odins Eye Enter the eye of a Norse God!!! In this large, semi-open battlefield, one structure reigns supreme... Odins Eye. The fully symetricle map centers around the main structure shaped a large eye. The rest of the battlefield is taken up by walls, bridges, and a catwalk that spans most of the sides of the map. The open areas provide quick intense gameplay, but cover on the catwalks and near the eye give good spots to escape from battle and simply jump back into the fight when your shields recharge. The map boasts three main gametypes. Slayer (4-8), King of the Hill(4-8), and Oddball(4-8). Aside from good gameplay, the map has good asthetics. All boxes are interlocked to provide good gameplay. The center of the map is shaped like an eye(Duh). Aside from that, the walls around the eye provide cover, but from a birds eye view, give the appearence of eyelashes. (Note some weapons and powerups such as rockets and overshields have long respawns to prevent being unfair or cheap) Weapons Rockets-1(2 min spawn) Carbine-2 BRs-2 SMG-2 Maulers-2 Snipers-2(1.5 min spawn) Brute shots-2 Plasma Rifles-4 Needlers-2 Plasma Grenades-4 Spike Grenades-4 Frag Grenades-4 Equipment and PRW ups Bubble shields-2 Deployable Cover-2 Regenerators-2 Overshields-1(3 min respawn) (Also note some weapons and power ups don't spawn in the beggining of the match) Screenshots (yay) This is the Rocket spawn on the floating platform in the middle. To get to the platform, you must first clime the spiraling platforms. This is Odins Eye from a different angle. This is one of the catwalks. Odins Puple (significantly less cool) Well, thats my map. I hope you download the map and enjoy it as well. Please answer the poll and leave feedback as well in hopes of making a v2 if the map is a success. Thanks.

perfect map! the interlocking is very good, the floating objects is also great and the gameplay is nice. 5/5
i like the style, and great interlocking looks like fun for some team BRs 4/5 also, i like the name i'm reading a book on greek, roman, and norse mythology norse mythology (of which Odin is a part of) is actually pretty depressing as far as their views go, but its freaking awesome anyways since they're vikings.
The weapon set seems a little uneven, but the design is good. I also like the eye idea... we need a little aesthetics in the competitive area. One more concern, if you fall in the area between the center and edge of the eye, are you stuck. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Odin a Norse god (in Norse mythology, he's the god above all other gods, like Zeus in Greek mythology)
Thanks for the concern. but if you enter the center of the eye you can simply jump on the dumpsters to get out. Also, your right, Odin is a Norse god. I didn't know when i made the thread.Then again i naver studieds him(to busy making map)lol I,ll fix that though.
I did a quick run-through of this map and i liked some things but i have some things need need improvement. What caught me was the catchy little "eye" theme which i thought was clever. The eye itself with the floating platforms is VERY cool looking. It's definately the most aesthetically pleasing aspect to the map. Things you could improve on are straightening up the interlocking(i noticed a few of the walls didnt fit quite right) a bit and perhaps add some geomerging. The eye is great, but the rest of the map is very bland in comparison. As for The weapons and powerups, it looks like they are all just scattered around and it looks a little messy(just lean them neatly up on walls and such). I cant comment the gameplay because i didnt play any games on it. I like the concept of the eye, but it would be better if the rest of the map followed the standard the eye itself set. 3/5 for me
