Eidolon: New Sky Bubble Map

[Decabo]

Hey everybody. I recently created a map using the sky bubble on Sandbox, I was going for a Guardian style map that's good for Slayer and Oddball. Unfortunately, the Oddball thing didn't work out due to the fact you can't play ball on Sky Bubble (Bungie r retard lol), but Slayer has worked exceptionally well. I hopeyou all like and enjoy the map. Constructive criticism is appretiated, but be realistic in your complaints, don't try too hard to nitpick. Thanks, and here are some pictures. NOTE: The first picture doesn't show the proper weapon and power-up layout. Ignore those weapons. The rest of the pictures are correct. Now here they are:

Weapons on map (Other than BRs and Carbines, of course):

Sniper (1). Spawns top of Sniper tower
Mauler (1) Spawns bottom mid
Camo (1) Spawns elbow (Stole callout from Guardian, sue me, lol)

I hope this worked, I'm new to this :) Anyway, hope you all enjoy the map, feedback is appreciated, especially if it's positive ;) Oh, one more thing, when you download, make sure you download from slot 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The version in slot 1 doesn't have MLG weapons on it, it's more of a regular team slayer type setting. Anyway, enjoy! My GT is Decabo.

PS. Sorry about the pics not showing up directly, i know it's a pain to click on all those links. If someone could tell me how to make the pics show up directly on the thread, that would be great. Thanks!

O.K., for your screenshots, go to the Bungie screenshots, click on "View High Res", then save it to your computer. Then go onto an image hosting site such as Photobucket, upload the pictures. Then once they are uploaded, copy and paste the Image Code directly into your thread. Then they should appear. Oh, and also put the link to the map itself, not the fileshare. There are two versions and it could get confusing on which one to download.

Anyways, very original. I can see your influences from Guardian. Again, great to see a map that is not your average Onslaught clone. Looks like a nice triangle shape, but needs some work.

First of all, it's a little small. It is probably going to be a but too cramped for 4v4 games. You need to make each room larger, and significantly larger. Unless this is designed for 2v2.

You also need to block a bit of line of sight. You would know by Guardian that you cannot see every position on the map from one location. On this, I can see everything from Sniper Tower.

There also needs to be a lot more routes around the map. I can only attack the Sniper Tower from one direction. Of course, if you make the map larger more routes would automatically be filtered in, so it isn't much of a problem then. But at the moment, they are limited and it is too easy to lock down a section of the map.

And finally, fusion coils and radio towers are not items acceptable for MLG. Namely because they explode and move respectively. And Needler isn't MLG either :)

Anyways, quite creative map. I like it, but I feel if it was made larger and tailored more so to 4v4's, the map would get a lot better. Maybe even another level to the map could help. Anyways, good job, and keep forging.

Hey thanks bob43 for the kind words, and advice. Did I leave a Needler on the map? Wow, please excuse my retardation, I will fix that :). But yeah, I'm glad you liked it. To be fair, though, there's a lot that the Sniper can't see, including bottom mid, bottom obelisk bridge, bottom Fort, and the side sniper place, (which you can also get to Sniper tower from). But I still see what you mean, and I apprectiate it!
