map by Boxo - waypoints by Keron Cyst

Visually it's quite nice, but I fear that it's open, nonlinear design, and it's abundance of routes will harm the gameplay. I'll have to play test it later though.

It's been quite some time since your last map Boxo.  Glad to see you're back on track.

It reminds me of ctf_Trek.  The layout seems to be good because I haven't seen any other maps similar to it.  The polygon shading and work is good as it usually is.  Also it has good scenery use and I really like it.  Overall, it's a great map and I can see it as an official one.

Oh I forgot about this. Sorry. I'll get to it now that it'll annoy me, seeing it in the forums whenever I load 'em now...

thxthx, i mostly copied my old and new styles into a weird mix here, the visuals were made quickly and they're nothing new

it looks fragmented and nonlinear in the overview but that doesn't mean anything; there are just 3 primary routes with the larger than usual bases as separate structures... I didn't notice the above probs when playtesting

good good thanks, be sure to do this version and not the one I gave you earlier

OH YEAH!
Great map and nice bridge
Super layout. Gratz,Boxo

[Keron Cyst]

Yeah, I'll just start from scratch; I didn't accomplish much in Segment's beta version anyways, heh.

You know what? I think I'll use this map for my waypointing guide. It has a very diverse and convenient atmosphere (in terms of player movement) and would be excellent to restart the tutorial, which is too abrupt as it is (it assumes players already know how to waypoint).

I might as well post an objects-over' since that's what I'll be using in it:

It's too hard for a beginning map.

Ok, looking at it again, the layout looks a lot more playable then I thought this morning. I'll dl and try sometime soon,. but I might wait until Keron wypts it.

Is this a bug? Fill that area like the right zone (If it's a bug)

About the map the Nature-Tech mix is nice. Probably cap will be easy.

[who flung poo]

very nice map, although i fear it may be to nonlinear, and nice to see you back in the mapping community boxo.

[Keron Cyst]

I don't think I'll waypoint this; I had an almost perfect version that only needed playtesting, but accidentally overwrote it with an original copy. That basically destroyed all my motivation for it... sorry

[MyiEye]

The map is very open. Maybe connect the 2 centre green platforms to the nearby grey ones

[Keron Cyst]

Never mind (blast j00, Avarax!):

It's kinda strange to see that the grassy platforms are left floating while other grayish platform has some means of realism.

[Boxo]

thx kyst, I updated the op.

I'm hearing complaints about it being too open but obviusly you're just judging from the overview screens. the different speed it takes to move through different routes/parts of the map counteract the openness; most of the battle is in the middle which is divided into 3 routes since the bases are quick to get out of, it's a new kind of design since the layout is defined as much by the ease of movement and speed in different parts of the map as their x-y position in it. I think everyone's hating on it without playing it or having played it very little which is a shame cause i gave the design some thought and i think it works.

[Suowarrior]

Well I appreciate the speed that player can move on there. And I think it's giving something. But I also think its too open and huge. I see that this is very automatic weapon map. For example there's no hope attacking in bottom way (under the bridge) if there's a defender waiting attack with auto. Then I really can't stand the medikits at the top. They are too away and they'll pile up there, cos few are getting them from there. Tactically I like the top way: If there are defenders spawning in base the attacker should choose the top way, because he can go around onto top of flag and escape fast (cos he is already moving in escaping direction).

+ Look, poly colors are nice
+ The movement idea: top & middle design

- Too huge. There are space everywhere and the size is both too broad and too high
- Automatics roxs
- Bottom way is too easily defended
- Medikit placing
