NOTE: THIS MAP IS NOT MADE BY ME

This is a user map titled Eclipse from the early days of Duke 3d. Eclipse is a moonbase with E2L8-influenced design and elements. You can take a train between 2 stations, which is pretty hard to do in Duke 3d (never done it myself).

Eclipse is very generous with ammo, and weapons and there are many monsters to pump your rounds into. The corridors are quite cramped and at times this can cause accidents with explosives or you can get squished, which is a bit annoying, but if you know the spots, it shouldn't be a problem.

I always used to call this "the space version" of Scum City, because the gameplay is very much the same, you get tons of ammo and action, all weapons and so on. It is a fun map with good design, but the cramped areas cause problems regularly. On the other hand, if know the layout, you can get some pretty juicy RPG / Pipebomb kills here and get a good one-liner as a reward.

The ending is a bit disappointing though, you're given every weapon / ammo so you can just take out 2 Battlelords, it would have been nice to get some action before that, but the encounter with those Battlelords can be troublesome because of the tight corridors, and you want to take them out as quickly as possible before running out of space to fight them.
