ctf_3phase - The new, improved Duck Hunt
« on: November 23, 2006, 11:50:44 pm »
3 Phase CTF
(Survival Mode)

Overview

This is my third map, if anyone's wondering.

Anyways, I wasn't aiming for the perfect map. The idea here, is to get across this hip new way to play Soldat. Sadly, because of time constraints, the map looks as though it was crapped out of a donkey's butt.

Before I go on, I'd like to point out that this is definately not a ctf map.  It needs the ctf prefix to play properly though, so I left it on.

In essance, this is Duck Hunt on 'roids.  The uppermost layer (Bravo), scrambles back and forth, dodging fire, while attempting to score both flags. The second layer (Bravo again), is at a serious disadvantage. They are stuck in the line of fire from the lowest layer (Alpha), and any return volleys from the top. The middle's mission is to prevent Alpha team from killing their comrades up top. Finaly, the lowermost layer (Alpha), is shooting upwards to stop Bravo from winning the match.

The odds are stacked against Blue, however, even though they have the higher ground. The grenade kit, med kits, and vest on Alpha's side counterbalance the height advantage from Bravo.

I'd like to point out yet again that this is not a finished map,
nor will it ever be finished. However, it is an idea I had that I'd like to develop, so constructive criticism is appreciated.

EDIT: Y'know, it'd be nice if someone could tell me if this is something worthwhile to continue. Like, how it sucks so I can make it better.

It's already come along, I just can't waypoint at all, so I can't get a good playtest of it. If someone could do a quick waypoint job, y'know defend, get flag, ect., then test it, I would be so grateful.

And the bots fire perfectly through the walls.

That map is way too small. Duckhunt in Soldat is about having to use the Barret scope to hit far off targets. I do find the idea of splitting a team into two groups interesting though.

Well this isn't Duck Hunt, it's a new, Improved version of Duck Hunt without the Barret :)

In all honesty, I wanted this to have more of a deathmatch feel. The kind of fast-paced action you get when your being chased by three or four people down a narrow pathway.

Only in this case, you have a team behind you.

The point here, is that both teams have a lot to face, and in such a small area, luck plays a big part, but so does skill. M79ers and snipers just don't have anywhere to hide. And if the 'nades miss, they just come falling back on whomever shot 'em.
