CTF Maps

Oh lord...

 

A lot of them are not well-designed gameplay wise, and so are not fun to play, or are too powerful for one class. The ones currently in rotation are good, but this is only newly becoming the norm. Original Halo, Waterfall, Unholy Faith: Three famously horrible maps to play that are fun for that very reason. Dwarf on Original Halo is invincible. Chemist+Medic on Waterfall=untouchable flag. Archer on Unholy Faith or Islands... I don't even want to talk about it.

Edit: And Airlock. Good gosh, Airlock...

Point is, sure there are 140 maps, but only about 100 of those are usable. Still, that is 100 maps. That is a lot of maps.

Add to that the constant stream of reworks and new maps, and in about a year expect 200-ish maps available with 160 playable.

 

oh no not this again.... maybe its around 140 new maps but i remember when the map wave that came out with different versions of the same map to try to bring variety but really... that wasnt the best idea, it was the same map just tweaked and 120 of those maps 80% of which were never played. but i guess the good thing is that it started the rework revolution that still continues today xD

 

Can we bring some old classic maps back? like Airballoons, water fall, Highrise, etc.?

 

Hm maybe, could be interesting!

 

Waterfall?! NO! NOT WATERFALL!!!!!!!!

 

There are some maps that were fun to play on, but....... CTF is definitely fine the way it s (my opinion)

 

No Air Balloons. Please no air balloons.

 

But... I like Led Zeppelin... I want my Luftballons...

 

I'd like to see my waterfall rework get added, for some nostalgia and to give it a try. 176779

 

I am willing to do reworks and remakes of the old maps as far as gameplay purposes, just to make it easier to play all classes but retain some of the things that made the map unique like the Unholy Faith archer battles.

For example, on Unholy Faith, add more cover at the middle. Help alleviate the archer problem for non-archer classes, but also give archers areas to peek out and snipe other archers. Then add platforms around the spawn with similar cover looking out at middle for epic sniping and counter sniping battles. Ideally such a remake would satisfy all customers like that, with minimal aesthetic changes.

All I would need is a singleplayer download of the maps or using the Build server once it comes up. My rule of thumb for changes like this is that generally they shouldn't be big enough to need to use WorldEdit.

 

I think you just mean headshot after headshot.
