ctf_X

__________________

Hi mappers, the map I'm giving you is surely my greatest one, my love (I agree, I've been mapping too long). The first design of X happened about 3-4 years ago it was like this beaty http://www.geocities.com/metsanaperot/ctf_BF.gif

I really don't wanna say how many hours I've been working with this map or how many different versions I've tried. You would be just laughing.

Okay about map, I'm sure you can't say a thing about gameplay by looking screenie. You need to play it (will be best 3on3), after that you probably love it or hate it.

Special thanks to Kouleman for making scenery and map testing, to Sero for map testing, to Boxo and Demonic for map ideas and saying "your map isn't ready" ;D. I hope you agree that now it's finally ready.

The map is waypointed (Those were the hardest wypts I've ever made)

Advertising: The map is running at #soldat.gather custom servers with other nice maps.

Nice, But it seems like you can cap really fast..like U just fly over and grab the flag and then u fly back to ure base..

Or Maybe U can't fly..lol

But it does like nice, very well made ;D

Best. Soldat. Map. Ever.

Everyone can just stop mapping now.

Also, I'm willing to sacrifice the remains of my dignity if that's what it takes to get this map as default.

That is the most original and interesting layout I've ever seen in a CTF, ever.  I'm not sure as to the gameplay, I'll test it later on today.

After play-testing this map with the suggested amount of players (3vs.3), I can only say one thing about it....

















































THE GAMEPLAY feckING KICKS ASS!!!

The only thing that I didn't like was the scenery next to the flags, the spider-web like thing.  It looks kind of crappy.  Everything else is fanstastic!

About Demonic's comment, I will agree, this is an amazing map, but I don't feel know it'll be as an official.  It only plays well with 3 vs.3 , 4vs. 4 at most.  Anything else will be too chaotic.  Most of the default maps favor 5 vs. 5 matches.

And that reminds me, so you're the one who's been suggesting Boxo's map be official?

idk it seems like there are some sniping spots that could need stopping.

The poles prevent spawn killing and the bottom terrain isn't too flat to allow straight barrette shots.  There's litterally nothing wrong with the gameplay on this map.  It kind of plays like a HTF map, but without the yellow flag.  Very fast-paced and very heart-pounding.  Also the map itsn't large enough to allow cheap gameplay like M79 noobing or sniping.  Unless you want to get binked to hell and blasted to 100 pieces.

Normally I don't give 5 Star ratings.  I'm probably even more harsh at rating maps than Avarax, but this is a map worth downloading and keeping it on your hardrive.

true for the top one, its in an open enough position to not worry about.
however the bottom one is faar too easy to camp at. If you sit in the right place on the side you can hit people as they go up the little hill.

One of the most unconventional CTF maps I've ever seen. Amazing stuff.

iDante, don't say anything about the gameplay until you've actually tried the map... you'll never get away with camping in this map, it's way too hectic for that kind of lame :]

but yeah, jesus christ, this map is INCREDIBLE. you haven't played soldat until you've played this map!

I did... and decided that the top one was wrong but the bottom is just about perfect. Especially if there aren't too many people in the game, you can see really far and have a clear shot.

I do like the map btw, just think that maybe you should add a bit of a block to the bottom thing (such as making some colliders along that thing in the middle, that would do it without actually changing the looks)

Uhm. If you sit down there and camp, your team loses a man fighting above, and you lose within a matter of minutes.

The camper could get attacked from both directions, because the map is small and low route only comes into play when the flag falls down there.

Also, about the vest... most servers have bonuses turned off anyway, and both teams rotate at both flag spawns almost constantly. Booya.

Ok, let's see if what everyone is saying is true. Hopefully it satisfies my Soldat sexual needs...

What's the point of the low route?  I see health there but that's pointless and too far out of the way to make it worthwhile. 

Could have more elegant looking obstructions to cover the spawn areas, and the better team is easily going to be able to suppress the other side and cap without the other team being able to do anything about it. 

The visuals are good, but honestly I can't see this playing well at all.
