I hope you find this map as challenging to play as I found it to make. I wanted a map that had ONE key strategic element. That is the “Epicenter”. A single bridge separating you from your enemy spans this massive canyon that divides this otherwise flat landscape. The bridge has special pedestrian only access underneath it and is accessed by open hatches on the bridge’s surface. Holding the central bridge is the key to "Epicenter". The flag is located in an island sanctuary surrounded by a moat. Ground Vehicles are the only mode of transportation making the one central bridge even more important. Only one repair pack is pre-placed and is centrally located. Should you fall in the central valley, ladders will assist your escape but they take time to climb making you easy pickings from the opposite side of the canyon. Pre-placed canyon defenses include 2 plasma turrets, a rocket turret and mortar. The canyon base is independently powered from the island sanctuary. Both the canyon base, and island sanctuary have redundant power. ep-i-cen-ter 1.) The point of the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake. 2.) A focal point: He stood at the epicenter of the international crisis. --Websters.com--

Wow, once again a very simple, yet elegant map. Nothing too fancy, and its great. I love the action around the bridge, makes for some tense moments. I was surfing the map reviews and stumbled across this gem. Great job man.

I liked the moat around the bases. Islands are my thing. I also liked the little land ring that was in the moat. I like the attention to detail. For example, the support poles for the bridges and the tunnels that were mentioned before. I also liked the health pack that was by the body at the bottem of that monsterous gorge. Excellent map for larger amounts of people.

You tried to make the bridge the center of attention, well you definatly succeded. ;^) My favorite part was when I took a grav cycle, used all the boost to get it up to speed and jumped off right before it went over the cliff... getting all the way over my team's mote. (just barely) I like the way the terrain is bumpy, but I'd do it just a little more so peeps can hide behind hills if the viewer is level with them and a little away. The jagged edges and stuff in the motes is a great addition too.

What a trench! This map has lotsa eye candy like a custom made bridge that looks kewl and plays even kewler with this neat tunnel under the bridge to hide from the chaos on top of the bridge. Lotsa fighting in the center was the norm for me and my buddies playing it. Download it. Try it. You'll like it. Make more maps Storm shadow.
