    Needler arena is the sequel, for those who remember it, to needlezone. But instead of being forged on the brand new map sandbox, I decided to go beck to my old forging grounds in foundry to create this epic arena.

    The Arena takes up the entirety of foundry (besides the back rooms) and is asimetrical, multi level map. The 3 separate levels are accessible by stairs, teleporters, and gravity lifts. If you want to do good I sugesst goin to the top floor to rain down needles.

    OVERVIEW

    Gametype

    2 gametypes currently work with needler arena, Needlers (straight up needler slayer) and Needleball (Oddball with more pink death). Bot types have the shields cranked up so that needle fights can last longer.

    If your reading the description and not just skiping down to the screenshots then here are some tips.
    -make sure you strafe!
    -most people can't needle you up close if you strafe
    -Don't try to punch the enemy, reload instead
    -keep equipment (bubbleshield preferable) with you at all times
    -if you have the ball, get the activecamouflage

    Well, I do love the needler, but is this straight up oddball, or there something else weird about it?

    I'd give the map a 3/5 for looking cool, but not having any interesting traits.

    The ball carrier moves faster, jumps higher, but can only kill someone with an assassination.

    Wow, I really like the game type but not so much the map itself. The game looks like a blast but the map looks like it takes away from the amazing game type. I am sorry if I sound harsh, because I don't mean to be please. In picture three the walls look like they are slanted. I am not the type of person to say that you need to have interlocking and geomerging to have a good map. I am not saying those crooked walls are going to affect the game play but it makes it look like this was somewhat rushed. I like how you listed good tactics for winning. Overall, I give this map is 4/5 but I would redo the level making it a little more visually appealing.
    Buenos Noches!

    Ya... if you don't like needlers i suggest you don't play this map. I don't feel like being murdered in an act of retribution.

    I agree I'd actually use a different map because it doesn't seem to need the map and what is the point of putting teleporters on dumpsters because I don't think you can move them with a needler.

    Needler explosions can move them we found from testing, also needlers will work on any map with no weapons.
