CP Mojave

Reaching the 2nd place in the CP contest of TF2Maps.net, Mojave is a 2 staged attack/defend control point map with 2 control points per stage. All 4 control points offer different playstyles and strategies to make the map as fun as possible. Mojave features a desert environment, inspired by Badlands and other desert maps. You are first advancing through a little mining town towards a RED underground basement full of stockpile stuff and.. an elevator!

Mojave now also has an _event version which is basicly Mojave B2 with a halloween theme!

This is a map I made for the 6th major mapping contest of TF2Maps.net, we had to make a CP map for it. It’s now B2 so feel free to play and download! You can even put it in a server rotation if you want. ^^

Enjoy!

i like the look of this map
beautiful environment

can you make a screenshot from above, to see the whole map in one screen (like http://forums.tf2maps.net/geek/gars/images/5/8/2/8/thumb_cp_grack_b40003.jpg)

I’ll have to go through this on Tf2 sometime tonight as most of my opinion comes from the screenshots. :P

The first thing that strikes me is the theme – desert/late afternoon – I presume you’re going after the Furnace Creek (I think it’s just called cp_furnace now) effect? Either way, I’m not exactly sure how the lack of lighting will play out – they do make the map look nice but I’m worried about it’s functionality in a 6v6 environment – think ability to hide in shadows, not that I’m saying shadows aren’t good but too many deep, dark shadows can make the map too easy for Spies to make around undetected – but that’s just speculation.

The final image I’m curious about, I presume that’s the final cap? Looking at both the overhead view and the other view it looks quite cramped and perhaps a little too close to red spawn making it perhaps too easy to defend.

Like I said though, I’ll have a look around the map before making some more “informed” observations although I hope my first impressions of the map were of some use. :P

May sound very negative, but for competitive play it is too close quartered and too linear, I wouldn’t really bother with it.

I wasn’t around when Dustbowl was still played, we played it in Highlander once and I disliked it :).

You can expect B2 soon, which will make the map to be almost finished. Have you guys any things you’d like to see changed?

It would actually be nice to see this map tested in one of etf2l’s HL cups. This map definitely deserves to be played more :) imo
