A large space kinda defeats the point of quick returns though, doesn’t it? Imagine having to get the flag from one end of Turbine to the other in one ‘push’ – it would be ridiculously hard to get it out if enemy players touching it returned it. Maybe a shortened timer like 20 seconds would work though.

I can see the sense in that.
When I was talking about a lot of space to “move around” I was trying to imply multiple viable routes still with plenty “choke-ish” points and controllable area’s.

But I do agree with you, instant touch return would be extreme. but then again the map should not be much bigger than 3 cp’s out of a well sized 5cp map.

I hope by ‘weel sized’ you mean a good sized map, and not a map that is sized the same as Well….

I’m really a fan of this idea. A map with quick returns, lots of space to move around and 10 minute rounds sounds really fun, at least to me it does.

Even though I guess u can still play Turbine in a very boring way the new mode inspire/forces people to actually attack and defend. But overall ctf is far from popular so trying to get a brand new ctf map might be hard, not only to make (cuz u have no “good” ctf map to see how it plays out) and everyone will have a negative attitude towards the idea without even looking into it.

I think, if ur priority would be to make the current map pool better, to grab a map, and make what the majority think is flaws and make them better.

Hopefully though u make maps cuz u like making maps :P then changing minor shit on official maps is prolly boring :D

Still awaiting the day Granlands will become officially boring, even though Badlands is so good it’s just legendary.

I see where you are coming from, I want to try bring some more spice to the map pool if all goes well but I am aware people in any gaming community tend to hate change.

Edit: It’s not like ctf is a shocking new concept or anything though?

Quoted from flushy

needs to be fast paced and dynamic

correct,

Probably, the Measures taken will be:

– Fast intell return if touched, or even without touching (about 5-10 seconds)
– The 10 minute round rule or whatever it is called
– Multiple viable routes towards the intell (that do not run past the enemy spawn or through a cramped shaft ^^)
– No single area’s from which all routes going through can be blocked
– (and, this one will be very hard) No OP sentry spots

haha, almost sounds like scouts aren’t useful in 5cp..

On subject though: I think you should try what Sneis said if I understand what he means..
maybe i’m getting the wrong impression but you should try look at what makes a good map a good map why do people love badlands so much? why do people still like granary even though they like badlands way more? Alot of people like gullywash, but I also hear alot that it’s a very bad map.. but why? Just do your homework and get us a better map then badlands or atleast one just as good!

Attack/Defense CTF; Defending team has 2 intels. Attacking team none.

And that’s as much thought as I’m going to put into that :D

@Cyc; badlands wasn’t actually made by valve! Same mapper as coldfront I think (or was it freight?).
