Earthbound - a 4-team CTF

[Spectre]

This four-team CTF with no jumping promotes dodging skill and practice. There are no superflags. Each team uses teleporters to get past the walls, but they cannot go directly to the base diagonally across from them. They must come around through another team's base. Screens posted. Released into Public Domain.


<UPDATE> Version 2.0 is up at bztraining.org:4101. It includes repaired SWs and one PZ and SB flag per quadrant.

Nice map, currently running at bztraining.org port 4102 - enjoy!

wow another good map from Anathema.

I like the ways where in all of your maps you are trying out some new concept that has never been done before

needs
A. bigger teleports
B. more pz/sb flags
C. sw oncap (if not)
D. Turret?

[Spectre]

A. The teleporters are designed as they are to ensure accuracy when firing through them.
B. The map is intended for skill, not for flags that give easy "ownage".
C. The two portals allowing access to the victim team's quadrant are covered by a half-size SW oncap.
D. Please clarify.

Like sticking a HUGE HONKING TURRET in the middle of the map with, say, a regular shot pattern.

[Spectre]

It wouldn't really add too much to the game, just make it even harder to capture the flag - which is already difficult for most.

Oh and Number c:
Make a large shockwave cover the entire quadrant, to prevent spawnkilling from that aspect too.
Maybe chuck the 2 flags (v 2.0) and put in 1 jumping, and say 1 geno in the middle? idk.
It just seems too wide and empty for my tastes.
