    Halcyon is a symmetrical map. It has 3 levels (ground, mid-level, upper level), two main bases (red, blue), one side base (for side battles, containing energy sword and sniper rifle). The upper level is a bridge connecting the two main bases accessible via ramps, or grav lift.

    It supports the following gametypes:

    For helping me test this map and giving me some good footage for a preview. And thanks for the tips, I applied them the best I could with the time I have. I know it was intended for the Forgetacular contest, but it completely slipped my mind and I forgot to submit it, so I figured I'd just release it here.

    Ultimately, I'm happy with how it plays. It's better for groups around 10 players, but it worked fine with more players. Naturally it was a bit more hectic, but that just means you get to the action faster. I will say one thing: the grav lifts sometimes require you to walk in the direction of the platform in mid-air. I noticed a few people just kept bouncing up and down the lifts on occasion. It wasn't a huge deal, though.
    As always, if there's a bug in the map, let me know somehow and I'll fix it.
