ctf_Gloom

[ginn]

ctf_Gloom is inspired by Briggs cliff from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

I originally planned to use a snow texture + scenery and also make a really big and strong middle. However, I abandoned that idea and proceeded with a Dropdown-like layout instead.
As I still wanted to make the middle important, I placed the medics/nades close to the middle, implemented a Dropdown-like middle and also made the main and alt rout able to interact with each other at the middle.
I like the flags on ctf_Blade, therefore I made it possible to boost the flag down from it's plateau which then allows the player to glide on the ice below to quickly get the flag and leave.

The result ended up being very different from what I first had in mind, but I'm still satisfied with the map.

I reckon it would look better with slime greens and dark greys.

Hey banana :>

We tested it on the [Pure] CTF Custom and I think it's really good. It's got a bit of dropdown in it but it plays a lot smoother imo. I like the ice poly at the bases, allows you to shoot the flag down, get it and boost your way out of there. The risk is that the enemy throws a nade and your whole escape is ruined . The only bullet collide in the middle/bottom route work well to temporarily hide to reload your gun.

Haven't really tested the upside yet, mostly because it's hard to get from the upside to the ice part in the back if the flag would've fallen there. I guess it could be nice to have a teammate shoot the flag from the upper way to make sure it's easily grabbable for the down players.

Edit: Also on the colour aspect. I for one like this style. It fits in well with the original soldat maps.

I played it in sns.

But I felt like I couldn't run anywhere without feeling exposed.

People stay static to defend the low or high route. And runners have no chance to pass.
Because the trajectories are too horizontal and too straight.

Map would be fun to spray (and camp unfortunately) if there wasn't that wall that stops bullets... But it's still playable...

Tested on soldat.mapping , this map is great , like denacke said its a mix of dropdown and a ton of other maps too .  The gameplay in itself is fantastic and it really brings a breeze of change in CTF! Really looking forward this map to be added in the new version!

Alright... now I've updated it (again)... to make polygons below the spawnpoint "only bullets collide"... as only blue/red players collides also makes the flag collide. Why Bullets collide instead of players is because I think the map will be faster that way.

Believe me, there's really fucking long road for every map to get default...

Cruz is getting to be default... Scorpion was made default last time. To be honest... I have think there's just 1 guy who is on the dev team that makes a map and wants it to be default.

Edit: Updated the spawn points, to give more of an advantage to not take the Ice Approach.

Update: Added 2 scenery + colliders to make it easier to nade boost away from flag. Also rearranged the scenery around the flags to middle, as they were previously mistakenly placed in the back.

Plays alright for sure, as it's close to default maps, mainly Dropdown. Not much new in this map.
