Enyalius

This is a V2 of my map Artifact, I also decided to rename it with the update. PLEASE RATE
THREAD

Enyalius is a symetriical map best suited for 6 - 16 players. It features a good mix of close quarters, long range and vehicular combat. It supports all game types for up to 4 teams. Recomended gametypes are Team Slayer, Multiflag CTF and Neutral Bomb. I also recomend BR + AR starts.

The map consists of two opposing bases separated by a large central structure and smaller structures and objects spread across the main floor to act as cover. Both bases and the central structure feature 2 levels. The lower levels are aimed towards Close Quarters combat while the upper levels are best suited for BR/Carbine use and map control. The upper levels of the bases are conected to the central scructure by bridges, meaning it is possible for a player to traveres the whole map base to base without touching the ground, however as the bridges offer very little cover this is not allways the best option.

V2 changes:
Moved ghosts from middle to bases.
Altered bunkers to improve map balance.
Added cover to the sand in the middle.
Added more red/blue columns for aesthetics and navigation.
Tweaked weapon placement and spawns.
Removed two mongeese.

Thanks for reading, constructive critisism is welcome.

the geo merging looks kinda random.

Love the elevated paths and base setup, but the paths are a little exposed from ground fire and incredibly prone to sniping.

Nice map maybe its a little bit too open at the middle there are some points where you got no chance to hide.

I know the geo merged pieces around the edges may look a little out of place in the screen shots, but they look much better when your'e actualy in the map and they are there for a reason. They're there so its not so easy to speed round the outside in the worthog, but at the same time they can also offer cover to vehicles from missile pod and rockets. Also they provide foot soldiers the oppotunity to use them as cover to flank the enemy bunkers.

The bridges are fairly exposed but if they werent it would be far to easy to traverse the map and all the fighting would be contained in the central structure, they do however have some cover in the middle and hieght is always an advantage. As for getting sniped, I'd be impressed by that as there are none in the map, mainly due to the large sand dune that would allow players to snipe into one base but not the other.

There are some open areas but all large maps have this, otherwise vehicles would be useless. In the open areas on either side of the central structures there are bubble shields, also players can use the merged pieces in the sand as cover to move around the sides.

I'm a big fan of those raised walkways. The map in general looks very nice and well balanced. Except for the oversheild which appears closer to one base than the other. 4/5

Its not, its right in the middle. It looks like that in the sceenies because its floating a couple of meters in the air, you can get it just by jumping.
