Eventide

Free-for-all slayer splash screen.

This is a symmetrical map meant for hardcore, competitive game play. It is rigged for all gametypes that I've found work well on it: pretty much everything except Race, Rally, and Invasion Slayer (Invasion Slayer... that useless, useless gametype...). I worked very hard on this map to make it not only playable and entertaining, but aesthetically pleasing.

The orange FX filter is used on this map, not only to give the cool sensation that it is dusk, but to make the colors of the map stand out more. It is easy to determine whether you're on the red or blue side of the map.

Pretty... Primary colors....

The map is completely symmetric, and the weapon layout is natural and organic. Until I have something like a complete diagram with weapon locations, here's some shots of where you can find things:

Sniper Rifles can be found on top of the 3-story towers on either side of the map. While the vantage point is nice, there's more than enough cover to keep the snipers from dominating everyone.

This is the inside of the Blue base. The inside of the bases are where you can find the Sword and Gravity Hammer. The sword is at the end of the walkway in Blue Base...

...and the Hammer is at the end of the walkway in Red Base.

The Rocket is on a platform in the middle. Tried-and-true place to have it, but it works!

Shotguns are located on platforms near man cannons that can send players to the other end of the map. (The shotgun is kinda small in this pic, it's in the bottom right-hand corner. Btw, the cannons... Narrows, anyone?)

All gametypes are supported, but I threw in a few little extras in Infection mode (one of my favorites).

Darkness... Eerie.

When playing the map in Infection, night has fallen, and I made it look like a horror movie with two additional FX modifiers. Testing has proved it to not adversely affect game play, but rather keep the humans on their toes.

You can still see, but you must keep your focus, or the zombies'll sneak up on you!

Also, there are two more gravity lifts in Infection to open up the flow a little.

The lift carries you up from the lowest level below the sniper's tower the top of it on either side. This is the Blue side's...

...and this is the Red's.

That pretty much covers Eventide. I consider it finished, unless I get some tips for improvement that I can't ignore. Enjoy!
