Desolation created by Jo mamma14 Base map: Foundry Description: yo my gamer tag is Jo mamma14 this is my first post and my first attempt at a "serious" map so please don't flame me to bad. I did post this map before under the name Eclipse but it was spelled wrong and some one already posted a map with that name. this is the same map as before but updated and I gave it a new name. Eclipse is a smaller map plays good with around 6 players. My inspiration for this map was the halo 2 maps Desolation and Warlock. The map in a octagon shape, it has two main bases and two small bases.

the map looks very well constructed. the center structure has been interlocked beautiffully. i will download. but it needs more pictures. it also looks the best for slayer and team slayer game types good job though
This map looks like it would be fun to play, and I agree with K3V1N, the center structure is interlocked beautifully, but I disagree with him about the gametype thing. I think it would do best with CTF or KOTH. For that reason, I won't DL, but I give it a 4.8/5, which I will round up to a 5 when I use the Thread rating thing.
This looks pretty cool with a good concept but i must say, and I doubt I will be the only one to say this. You need more cover on the floor. Its just a little to open down there. Other than that, it looks great. I love the middle structure an the weapon setup seems pretty good. I give you a 7/10.
I love the centerpeice, the interlocking, the layout, the weapons, and the gameplay. I am glad you renamed it because there was already a map called eclipse. Very good job, I hope you keep making great maps like this. I will DL!
I read this map, and I was like oh yeah, someone finally remade it. I don't believe seeing anyone attempt to remake this map. I loved it, and this remake of it or I mean, this inspiration is simply amazing. I don't see anything wrong with it from the photos. The weapon list seems fine, its not too overpowering. It just seems to be perfect. The only thing that worries me now, is after I download this and the spawns are messy. I hope not. But an amazing feat sir. Great job.
Alright. I did a fairly brief forgethrough, and I have one pretty big complaint: It took me a good ~45 seconds to find out that there was an alternate path to the higher level, other then the dumpsters that surround the center structure, and I'd imagine that it would be much longer, if at all possible, to find the stairs under actual combat. You should try to grab the player's attention by, say using the flashing part of the teleporter, or the A/B signs, or interlocking the powerup into the wall, etc... Also, I felt that there wasn't enough cover on the ground level, nor any weapons on the ground level to help fend off attackers should the player accidentally/intentionally fall down. That being said though, if you can take care of those two, then this could definitely be a good map.
Although, I did find some cover in this map, there simply wasn't enough. I liked the layout, but like I said before, their simply wasn't enough cover. You should definitely make a second version of this. It has potential.
