Welcome friends, to epivolc. < download

Okay, now that the action shots are over with, lets get down to business here,
epivolc was originally optimized for One Flag, and One Bomb,
however, it also supports and Slayer and King of the Hill.

What was once an ancient Forerunner structure, has been buried in the sand and forgotten. Until now.
This map has a symetric layout, but is considered asymetric due to weathering for millinnias.
It's believed that the structure as a whole spans out in the other three cardinal directions in the same fasion as the one currently exposed;
but until it's unburied, lets just fight on it.

Now, as you can see, this map is primarily based in the tall dune of Sandbox's middle level, half of Sandbox's middle level.
Before you start griping about the "fact" that people will simply walk far away from the playable area and camp with a sniper rifle, realize, there is no sniper rifle.
Not one game have I played where someone is dumb enough to go for the long walk.
And even if someone does go out there, soon after they'll meet four BR bursts to the forehead.

Map Preview Quotes/Post test qoutes:

Wow, that structure looks absolutely epic dude, very good forging goin on from the view it shows.

I hope when it's finished it hits the charts!

Epic. Keep working on this, I would love to see the finished product.

Mate you need to post this map ASAP. It's definately the best of all you've got. I have the earlier version you linked in this thread. Even if it's a different style, it's gotta be one of my favourite one sided maps of all time, along with Sandheart Manor. Finish nao plzkaythx.

I'm loving the new base designs too. You have the best aesthetically based mind of all forgers.

I don't get it. Seriously, I just don't ****ing get it. It's so complex and beautiful. I will gave a DL if you release it because I'm so curious.

Okay i know i had doubts but seeing this come more and more together i think this is going to be an awesome map. I think people who try to leave the map area will learn quickly that they will not win that way.

Keep it up were waiting for a release ya'll.

I played on this a while ago, I don't know how the party leader had it but I LOVED IT! The top structure is awesome and great for balancing gameplay. I'm really excited for this to be fully released. if you need any help testing, I would love to!

Keep an eye out for Epitome, Epivolc's epic rework.
