Enclosed Echoes

Hi all, it's been ages since i released some maps, mainly because I've been busy building other ones or just been to plain lazy to actual make the post, well, a couple of days ago, I finally finished a map pack that I've been working on for the past couple of months, on and off. I took aload of screenshots yesterday, I think it's just under the 20 limit, but I'm not sure, so just bear with me if I have to make a second post to fit the screenies.

You might be wondering why I named the pack Enclosed Echoes, and the answer is simple- the three maps included in the pack are all enclosed in a sector of Foundry. (Although one of them is rather large to be called enclosed; it covers half of Foundry.)

So, here they are, in they're nice, shiny, Foundry-like glory...

Alteraxion
Alteraxion

Alteraxion is by far the largest map in the pack, and works well with about 6-8 people. It plays with Team Slayer, Free For All, CTF (Both Types) and Territories.

Weapons List
(Name - Respawn - Spare Clip/s)
4 ARs - 30 secs - 2
7 BRs - 30 secs - 2
1 Shotgun - 60 secs - 2
1 Sniper - 60 secs - 2
2 SMGs - 45 secs - 2
2 Magnums - 45 secs - 2
2 Plasma Rifles - 45 secs - N/A
2 Needlers’ - 60 secs - 2
1 Rocket - 90 secs - 1
4 Carbines - 45 secs - 2
1 Mauler - 60 secs - 2
1 Beam Rifle - 60 secs - N/A
2 Human Turrets - 120 secs - N/A

Grenades/Equipment List
(Grenades Are All On 10 Second Respawn.)
10 Frags
10 Plasmas'
1 Bubble Shield - 60 secs
1 Regenerator - 60 secs
1 Overshield - 90 secs
(There is also 1 mongoose, on a 60 second spawn, in the attackers base.)

Screenshots

This is an overview of most of the map from the attacker's base, you can't quite see it, but to the left is the giant wall which encloses this map.

This is the attackers base, I decided to use maps geometry to home it, giving me more room in the middle of the map to build.

This is one of two small defender's bases which take up the back wall of the map. Behind the window panels is a beam rifle, held against the double box. (The overshield cannot be taken and is there for aesthetic purposes only.)

Here you can see the other small base, where, in CTF, it holds the flag on the top along with a br and two plasma greandes. You can see that behind the fencewalls on the bottom left, there is the useable overshield.

And now for the last of Alteraxion's screenshots, and perhaps the most central part of where most of the action takes place, the rocket bridge, made up of fencewalls.

Well, there's the first of three, and, incase you missed it, here's download link again -

Etheral
Etheral

Now, going from biggest to smallest in one huge leap, we get to Etheral, a map so small, I literally couldn't fit any other gametype on it but slayer, I have to warn you now (If it isn't self explanatory) I really wouldn't play anything other than 1v1s, it is that small. Unless you want to just have a huge mess of fun and spawn killing that is :P

Weapons List
(Name - Respawn - Spare Clip/s)
3 ARs - 45 secs - 1
4 BRs - 30 secs - 2
1 Sniper Rifle - 90 secs - 1
2 SMGs - 60 secs - 1
1 Magnum - 60 secs - 2
1 Plasma Rifle - 45 secs - N/A
1 Needler - 60 secs - 1
1 Carbine - 30 secs - 2
1 Mauler - 90 secs - 1

Grenade/Equipment List
(All Grenades Are On 10 Second Respawn.)
4 Frags
6 Spike Grenades
1 Power Drain - 90 secs
1 Flare - 90 secs
(You may think that having that many spike grenades is over powered, that's your decision to make, but personally, I think that, unless you stick someone, which is quite difficult in such quick combat, they don't have much usage.)

Screenshots

To start off, this is the right hand side of the map, its quite plain, but has some insteresting angles, with the stairs being in such a small place. You can also see a single box open in this picture, which holds the mauler (90 seconds respawn with 1 spare clip.)

This is the right hand side of the map, not including the small room i will mention in a minute. As you can see this side has two levels, split by a floor of fencewalls. Behind the window panel you can just about see on the right, is the sniper rifle, which is easily accessed either by jumper up the dumpster or the crate from below.

Here is underneath the fencewalls on the left side of the map, you can see the dumpster mentioned in the last screenshot caption. Just below where I took this screenie from is where the energy drainer spawns.

Here is the small room that you will spawn in at start and occasionally during game, it holds the two SMGs and a flare.

And finally, here is a picture of the room above the one in the former screenshot, this one holds more start spawns, and two spawn points for during the game.

Once more, just incase you missed the link before-hand, here it is -

Etheral

Laceration
Laceration

Okey Dokey, this is it, my personal favourite, and the last map of this pack. It is bigger than Etheral, and yet smaller than Alteraxion. It is made for slayer games only, because I didn't see the point of putting objective games in when the map is only big enough to hold 4 players comfortably. So yeah, it works for any slayer gametype, however, i prefer to use Free For All, and as I said before, it can hold from 2-4 players well.

Weapons List
(Name - Respawn - Spare Clip/s)
3 ARs - 45 secs - 1/2
5 BRs - 30 secs - 2
2 Sniper Rifles - 90 secs - 1
1 SMG - 45 secs - 2
1 Spiker - 45 secs - 2
1 Magnums - 45 - 1
1 Plasma Rifles - 45 - N/A
1 Needlers - 45/60 secs - 1
2 Carbines - 45 secs - 2

(Yeah, I know what you're thinking about the snipers, I thought it too when I first put them in, "These are going to be sooo overpowered" But, never the less, I tested them else, and, as luck would have it, they actually work really well, try em' out for yourselves, you'll see what I mean.)

Grenades/Equipment List
(I Say This One Last Time; All Of The Grenades Are On A 10 Second Respawn.)
6 Frags
6 Spike Grenades
1 Radar Jammer - 60
1 Flare - 60

And, now, for what most have you most likely skipped to if you read my map intro, enter...

Screenshots

The best overview I could get, it shows the abandoned bunker on the left, the wall corner-corner, and the left fencewall area.

This is a better view of the left hand side, as you can see, it incorporates fencewalls as flooring, like the other two of my maps, because i like that the abilty to shoot through them.

This is yet another view of the left side, taken from underneath the fencewall floor, it shows the carbine spawn and a fusion coil. (And no, you cannot get underneath that double wall. :P )

Once you walk up that double wall in the last picture, you end up here, in the sniper corridor, which, (obviously) holds one of the sniper rifles. (The other one is on the opposite side of the map behind a window panel on a fencewall catwalk.)

In this screenie you can see a little area where I put some of the starting points, a carbine, a BR, and you can also see the beginning of the fencewall catwalk, which eventually leads to the second sniper.

Finally, I show you the abandoned bunker that you can see in the overview, it holds the needler and a BR, it is quite a good spot to hold out temporarily, but it is prone to grenade kills.

And, again, if you were clumsy enough to miss the download link all Three times (:P) here it is one more time:

Laceration
