    • GamerTag: CaptainDireWolf
    • Co-Forger: SexyMasterChief
    • Map: Eclipse
    • Gametype: Slayer
    • Player Count: 2v2
    • Link: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/...DireWolf_0deaba25-b820-4f7e-a1fc-224aacfb970e
    • Description: This map allows for players (up to 2v2) to transport between dimensions at will to flank the enemy, bypass blocked routes, and reach hidden locations. Your ethereal presence exists on the alternate plane, so watch your back and coordinate with your teammate. Time between allowable jumps is 6 seconds, to allow for pickup of weapons, since your teleport power-up takes precedence.
    • Note: you cant teleport if you're right next to a wall, in a corner, or in a doorway on the other dimension.

    With the number of submissions per night increasing and especially in the BTB category, I'd like to remind everyone that I DO NOT play 2 maps by the same author in one night. I'm sorry, but that is a rule created by necessity long ago. Unless the author specifies a preference, only one map is getting played if you submit multiple.

    I'd also like to say that while it's good to see more maps make a return, the number of submitters who actually attend the lobby has declined. Please keep in mind that moving forward, if the situation dictates it, I will be reordering and/or backlogging maps of those who continually submit without lobby engagement. This is for the sake of both time and to ensure we can play the maps we do have enough players for. ie. if you submit a large player count map 3 weeks in a row, and there arent enough players around to test the map, it simply wont get played, even more so if your interaction with the lobby or myself is very low

    Red initial spawns have been acting weird the last few playtests. For some reason, one person will spawn on one of the initial spawns meant for 5+ player teams. I've deleted these and replaced all spawns to see if that fixed the issue, but be on the lookout for anybody not spawning near the flag/assault arm point.

    I'm sorry to hear finding players for btb is becoming an issue. I wasn't aware it was expected of the forger to participate in the lobby. I would start joining right away if I didn't have class on Thursday night's. I still find it to be a huge service for other people willing to help test maps, but I'll try to be respectful and be selective how often I'll submit to the lobby.

    There have been some art and lighting changes, and some weapon and layout tweaks (less grenade pickups). The map is pretty much done, I think. Thanks for testing this so far.

    oh noooooo

    GT: Nikko B201
    Autobahnschutz Eiger
    6v6 CTF (but will accept up to 8v8 if you have a large lobby and don't want to drop it)

    Map has received some improvements since your last visit, including performance optimisations and flow changes.
    Just getting back in the flow before I attempt any major changes, so going with what I know works to start with.

    edit: I'm guessing you ran into the same issue Max did with your map list running out of sheets. The problem: there's no link to the new map list in the OP...

    but wait, there's more!

    Vectal Grace
    2v2 Slayer (or 3v3 if you like)

    Remember Vectal Fury? Probably not. Anyway, this is a smaller cousin to that. Grenade launchers. Angles. Giant death pit. All that good stuff.
