    Now this is the first of two Needlers maps that I am making for those who love the paint ball gun this on is on sandbox's crypt and includes

    -2 Gravity lifts
    -1 bubble shield
    -2 regenerators
    -1 active camouflage

    The map is symmetrical in design and incorporates 2 levels(having trouble so if you want to help with the 3rd level PM me). Like other maps the terrain varies in density so as you add players to the game people will naturally spread out.

    Overview

    Now onto the game variant. In the Needlers game type you have over shields and damage resistance so the fire (Needle?) fights can last longer. In Needle Ball The ball carrier's agility increases but his mele is only useful from behind.

    Now for the Pictures!

    The Teleporter is interesting

    go in it and find yourself hurtling towards the level

    Circle Strafe to avoid needles...

    or end up like this guy

    the needleball gametype

    Thanks for reading and leave a comment!

    Map updates
    Update 1:Added man cannon to top of sky dive to prevent players camping on top. Its now impossible to stay up there.

    Looks good, but I can't really judge. But I do see something you could do: Place pairs of spikers around the map so people have the option for orange needles that shoot faster.

    True but try playing, with the damage settings someone with spiker's would get destroyed.

    can you actually have needlers as the default starting weapon in a custom game? i thought you couldn't any more.

    but yeah this is a great map for the gametype, and i've allways loved the needler. it's a shame you can't dual weild them anymore though.

    I don't know why but I like the needler and how it chases the enemy and causes them to explode
