ctf_Rennos (Roundo2)

[Eagles_Arrows]

This is my next map, currently a work in progress.  Right now I'm a bit skeptical on how well it will play and flow.  If you have any suggestions on improving the layout, please post them and I will look at them.

NOTE: Those blue polys are set to DC.



EDIT: Version2:



Still a WIP.  Not doing any more scenery work til I'm through with the layout.  Hopefully, we'll get this playtested down at #soldat.mapping

EDIT2: Version3:



Map is nearing completion.  Renamed Rennos.  Uploaded at #soldat.mapping.  Scenery not displayed; just the layout in all its nakedness.  I will finish this after it's playtested.

looks pretty interesting, download? i wanna test the loops :p

[Eagles_Arrows]

Sure thing, file attached to first post.

[mar77a]

ye as expected, this map is super fluid... could be lots of fun if it had more of a ...fighting hall

my suggestion would be making the mid circle much bigger (a screen's size) and rectangular, modifying the middle platforms too

something like this

EDIT: Oh and watchout for the spray in the spawns, check out the bigger bases i draw too

those are a lot of ideas so ...

I like the map as the way it is. I ran alone about 10 minutes there just because it was fun. I think that mar77a's center is useless staff which map doesn't really need. I think u need to be careful when u place medics, I think it would be wise if only medics are at top route. That's a way how u can bring top route more in game, the map is so small that other ways don't really need medic. You could stop spraying at spawns more as mar77a said.

Updated.
Will change map name to something else.

The middle looks like a penis shooting a fireball.

That aside, as long as you make sure the routes flow well, it should play very nicely. You might want to do a little to make the pred spawn areas a tad more accessable, and useful for something other then escaping spawn campers.

[Eagles_Arrows]

I was expecting somebody to point that out.

Anyway, preds are fine where they are imo, they have a long time span so they need to be that far away in the ends.
And as long as you know how to control your movements, this map will flow really well for you.

[Wraithlike]

Ok, I wasn't saying it would be bad, I was just expressing a concern, because it could really hurt gameplay.

[Eagles_Arrows]

What, the preds?  I don't think they'll hurt the gameplay.  Besides, who in the world still uses bonuses, competitively speaking?  I know it's a trite argument, but it's true.

Off to bed.

[Wraithlike]

I actually meant the flow of the routes. And my concern wasn't aimed at teh location of the preds, thats irrellevant. My concern regarding that is that it will be difficult to use and migh end up mare a bastion for spawn campers.

[Eagles_Arrows]

Well, perhaps you should give the map a run and see for yourself if the routes flow.

[Suowarrior]

I added this version to maptest server. The fixes were great, the major thing was spawnkill which is now minimal. My major consern goes at flagplaces, they might go too low, but that's easily fixed and we'll be much wizer after playtest.

[Eagles_Arrows]

Goddamnit.

After neglecting this for nearly three months, I finally decided to continue working on it.
