CTF Map Archive!

Beaver Creek - original
Blackout- original
Citadel - original
Clocktower - original
Coresteel Station - wave 3
Highrise - original
Standoff - wave 2
Waterfall - original

The rest idk either. I'm feeling like the rest were either wave 2 or wave 3?

 

So, I've been doing some digging on this every now & again, and while I'm not exactly a CTF veteran (Wave VII was the first update that I was around for, at least as an active member of the community), I did find some stuff on YAF that could be helpful:

"New Maps" from a thread posted on September 28th, 2012.

The 2012 Halloween Map Update - 8 new maps, original post doesn't list them but replies focus on Opposites Collide, Dragon Valley, Graveyard & Kingdom Islands

List I put together of CTF Map variants (from the "Great Map Wave" update) that no longer have configs, or the ones that are still on build, at least. Worth noting that the Kingdom Islands and Sphinx variants likely never received configs.

Some other map tidbits that I found interesting.

And just for ****s & giggles, here's the earliest archived form of the MCPvP website ^^

Hope some of that helps, at least. Might be worth getting some of the older forum regs to see what they remember with regards to which maps were in which waves as well. ( @5ive_Head @lilonani @Admiral_Munson @YourAverageRandy ).

 

Wow, I've been playing CTF for a long time. I remember when the Airballoon without trees was in rotation.

 

I remember Air Balloons, Blackout, that one map with the godawful flagroom (it had two big bridges with large staircases on them between both sides of the map), Clocktower (the original one with the really tiny flagroom), Lighthouse (the original one), and that totally flat one with two giant castles on each end (where the flag was), Islands (a.k.a utter Engineer/Archer hell), Beaver Creek, and Highrise, were (most?) of the original CTF maps from early 2012 and prior.

I don't keep particularly up to speed with most of the map updates but I do know that most of the maps like the ones @b0squet mentioned (such as Coasted's Graveyard or Lowrise) didn't get added until late 2012, early 2013 when a ton of maps started coming out (and also at roughly the same time when CTF had its largest player-base). Two of the map updates linked here and here, both came out at the end of 2012 and one of those updates is mostly just cosmetic or gameplay updates to the original maps (especially to Air Balloons, which was a gameplay disaster originally).

 

Canyon is best map tho(first map i ever played/remember playing on). The one that's flatter than @YouAreBae is Castle.

99% sure beaver creek was in the first wave along with ship battle(I just don't remember playing it ever really).
Idk if anyone's mentioned it but Airlock was an original. You should probably ask @DeZilla if anyone about maps. ik he had downloaded a ton of them and probably knows more than anyone else.

 

Oh damn I did forget about the original Airlock. That map was fantastic (imo).

 

FITE ME

 

ship battle was added in like wave 2-3 I thought.. I dont remember going super slow on the sponges on that map xD
EDIT: not sure cuz I do remember logging into a waterpool because the ship got burned down lmao

 

If you look at coasted trailers, airlock was in wave #4, so it wasn't an original.

 

I thought wave 4 seemed kind of far, I forgot they tried to readd it like they did with blackout for like 5 days.

 

Can provide dates when these were created/added?

 

I'm asking because I REALLY want to know when I started playing CTF. I think I started in mid to late 2012, but I'm not so sure.

 

OK, how about the dates when the map waves were released.

 

Remove the download links of Canadian Fort, Tibetan Seclusion, Norse Dominion I, Citadel I, Scottish Christmas and Tuscan City, please.
You are/were not permitted to download/upload them. You didn't even ask for permissions. Maps belong to Brawl/McBuild.
I'm sure other mapmakers will mind that as well.

 

I'm sure mapmakers won't mind this sort of thing, as long as permission is asked first.
