We did cut a number of maps from the initial set of submissions. If you are the creator of one of these maps, feel free to message a CTF mod to ask for the reasoning, and we’ll provide it to you. Thanks again to the numerous mapmakers who’ve made this wave possible! We appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into improving this gamemode.


With the first couple stages of Wave XII behind us, we are now moving on to the first stage of map testing. Unfortunately, there’s been one hiccup with the process; contrary to earlier information that we had received, we can’t change the rotation specifically for the match servers, so we can’t have the configs we’re testing rotate for a whole week.Therefore, preliminary testing will require at least a JMOD on to set maps.


With that in mind, we’ll be adding an extra 24/48 hours to the ‘Rotation Day(s)’ when Wave XII maps will be playable on public CTF servers. These will take place next weekend.


While we won’t be putting maps into the rotation on public servers this weekend, they can still be played on request. They are also allowed for Unofficial CTF matches, as well as any less official events. We encourage you to try out these maps before the Rotation Days, as it’ll help you get a better grasp of the maps.


On a related note, we’re also going to be coming up on Halloween in a month or so. Seasonal submissions for our annual Halloween rotation will be handled separately from Wave XII, so now’s a good time to submit them!


Anyhow, that’s all for now. We’ll post another update on Wave XII with more specifics shortly, but until then, we hope you enjoy this testing phase!


Happy Capping!

Spoiler: Tl;dr

Was initially meant to be today. We had some stuff come up over the course of this week though, so we're going to have to push testing back a little bit. Sorry about that, would have liked to get everything started today as well. Will keep you guys posted on when it does.
