Fifth time lucky! I've been trying my hand at fixing the atrocity that is Beaver Creek on recommendation from @SoCool21. Here's a few changes that I made, and the problems that they fix.

Gameplay Changes

1. Moved the hole in the top of the flag building. It's now closer to where the underground tunnels meet. This completely fixes a lot of the main problems I have with the map, the main one being the ease in which Soldiers can steal. As a bonus, it's harder (maybe impossible) for Ninjas to ghost cap, and the flag is no longer headshottable.

2. Placed a 10-block thick barrier block ceiling. This'll stop Soldiers being able to run along the top of the surrounding walls, which will make them much easier to recover from. It also means that Archers can't camp up there, and makes it a bit more difficult for ninjas to move around.

3. Added cover. It's now possible to hide from archers on the roof of the flag building. Since I want to keep it feeling like Beaver Creek, they can still camp up there, but they won't be able to control the map anywhere near as much as they can at the moment.

4. On a related note, the roof is now easier to access. Instead of needing to take a slow ladder up to the top, there's 4 sponges you can use: one on either side of the flagroom, one behind and one inside. You'll be able to kill archers much more easily.

5. Closed of the spawn a bit more. Unnoticeable, unless you're an archer who likes to climb the walls.

6. Made the river easier to cross. There's a load of stepping stones you can use, as well as the bottom of the arch and even the tunnels. You're no longer at the mercy of archers - though you'll still need to be careful!

7. Speaking of tunnels - they're now much wider. The trouble with 2-block-wide tunnels is that it's impossible to just ignore someone coming the other way. Now, they're easier to access, easier to cross and easier to play in.

8. Put a bunch of Soul Sand everywhere. After a bit of testing with @Daniellll, we figured out that a 2-block-thick layer of Soul Sand will negate damage completely! This is way more useful than having a bunch of vines or ladders or slime blocks everywhere. To make sure everyone knows about this there's a note in spawn about it.

Aesthetic Changes

Beaver Creek was also heavily in need of a facelift, so I've taken a leaf out of @Xelasi's book and pretty much just copied the color palette from Tanks. :v (not really. It was a coincidence. I promise.) Anyway, it now looks a lot more like the original Halo map that it was based on, adjusted to fit into the world of Minecraft.

The map is somewhat asymmetrical, but not enough to affect gameplay. The only significant changes are the front of the flag buildings and the position of the rocks on the ground, both roughly consistent with the Halo map. The flag buildings are exactly the same inside, and have not been changed from the original map except for the position of the hole.

Hope you like it!

Oh seriously? I thought it would be fine :< we need to get to the bottom of that, it's gotta be a problem with ctf because they're fine on build and ww

 

I won't be on mc for the foreseeable future, but you can do what you want with it ^^
