Edirol Created by el Noah [br] Supported Gametypes: This map was designed with team slayer in mind. However, after much testing I found it was extremely good for playing Oddball, KOTH, Juggernaught and most other games. Anything up to a 5 vs 5 works best, but at a push it can support larger parties. [br] Map Description I was going to write a huge block of text here but i decided, i'd keep it simple and let the pictures ands captions speak for themselves (mainly because i'm absolutely rubbish at descriptions) . Edirol is completely symmetrical and plays extremely smoothly with a mixture of short and long range fighting. I'd also like to quickly mention, this map has gone through vigorous testing and tweaking to get where it is now - about 9 hours all together!

Notice the sniper spawn!

[br] [img width=800 height=450]http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii74/elNoah/ShotgunSpawn.jpg[/img] Under the sniper and behind the shield doors is where the shotgun spawns [br] [img width=800 height=450]http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii74/elNoah/Explosionbyshotgunspawn.jpg[/img] If a grenade lands next to the shield door it will set off the fusion coils, so camping in there isn't an option. [br] [img width=800 height=450]http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii74/elNoah/Mainwalkway.jpg[/img] This screenshot shows the walkway, which spans to whole length of the map. [br] [img width=800 height=450]http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii74/elNoah/Nexttobase.jpg[/img] This is next to the base and below the walkway [br] [[img width=800 height=450]http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii74/elNoah/TheBase.jpg[/img] Finally, the very simple and effective base..

Re: Edirol - truly amazing... The topic title of your post should be just the map name, which I assume is Edirol. This map looks good, but not extraordinarily original. I suppose if it plays well, it will be worth it.
The map looks very cool I like how you use the fusion coils to prevent camping the weapon placement seems fairly balanced and you used alot of interlocking this tells me you put alot of thought into the map good job Noah keep it up.
I like the sniper placement....its very reminiscent of Hang em' High. And is the name of the map based off the medical drug?
Glad you like it. I was really stuck for what to call this map, i spent ages trying to invent something that fits the map. In the end a gave up and just decided to call it anything, so i could finally post it. The name Edirol came from my speakers next to my computer, Edirol is the brand that makes them! If anyone has a better name, please tell me i want to change it to something better.
Personally I think this map is way to open.. It's just like a border of scenery around the outside with a few cover points down in the middle. Nothing really unique about it pops when I look at it. (no offense) Kinda looks more like a 'Paintball' map. I think there could be alot more detailed scenery added to give it a better feel. **thumbs up!**
wow good use of merging objects. looks a little bland though. when i first saw that shotgun room i was like... wow! this guy must love camping! but then i saw the next picture. good idea. it looks worth a try
Lol, the map name sounds like a medicine I'd take for constipation. I don't like the sniper tower. IMO they always are more of a pain than a help.
could you post some screens which give an entire overview of the map? cause from what i'm seeing the centre of the map looks very open but if i can't contrast it with the rest of the map i can't be sure
Thanks alot for the feedback! You are right this is a border of scenery around the outside with a few cover points, but thats the sort of thing i was going for. I wanted people to stick to the edges and have an emphasis on BR fights. If you happen to download the map, you'll find it is well balanced and alot of fun, and for this reason i'm not sure wether i'll add more scenery. And no, unfortunately Edirol there isn't anything unique but it is made well and alot of fun!
