Default Atrophy

CTF Atrophy takes the best parts of the CP map Atrophy and mirrors them to create a unique and fast CTF layout.

It uses a linear rolling ctf mechanic, like in ctf_backpier, to prevent stalemates and keep games tight; as each round progresses, the intel briefcases will roll forward until they reach the middle. If the flag is taken, the cart will stop until it's returned; if it's captured the carts will roll back to the beginning of their track and creep forward once more. The flags cannot be captured unless the capturer's team's flag is resting on the cart.

The theme is of two ancient temples being renovated by BLU and RED; you'll find spytech scattered throughout the ruins and corridors. Enjoy!

Thanks to:
2f2f and F_M for playtesting etc...

I don't believe the egypt textures really work as they are. They would benefit from some moss/grass/dirt overlays to fit with the alpine-ish theme you have going on.

Lovely map, I played it a few days ago and it went smoothly. Quite a bit of tunnels to navigate, but there were lots of possible routes once you learned the map.
Not completely sold on the light blue/green fog you got going in the skybox!

Another great rolling-ctf map

I don't get it anymore. I played Atrophy yesterday in 2f2f (I killed your sentry with it's own rockets, remember?), but it looked nothing like your pictures?

Are you sure it wasn't the cp version?

IMO the Egypt textures are a bit out of place, but it still looks nice

I agree with what everyone is saying about the egypt textures, even though I do think it's an interesting combo..

Egypt textures look fine imo, but get rid of the hieroglyphs. They're pretty out of place.
