CTF Arroyo

General information:
Previously known as ctf_micnax_72, this is the map I made for the 2012 72 Hour Mapping contest!
The general plan I was aiming for was to have a Gorge theme based around a small valley with a trainyard, playing much like DoubleCross while avoiding the main problems contributed with Capture The Flag maps.

Contest stats:
Time allowed: 72 hours
Time spent: 34 hours 13 mins
Crashes: 4
Versions before final: 5

ze plan looks promising

I like that someone else indicates doorways by just drawing black bars over the wall. People think I'm crazy for doing that.

How else would anyone do it? It's the most logical option!

I do it for windows (not doors though)
Layout looks nice by the way, I like the Double Cross approach to it.

Back! Back onto the front page I say!

Here's the layout I'm working with for Alpha 2:

I assume that thing that looks like a titty is the intel?

I'm not seeing it.

Fun map! Very fun indeed. The only problem is scouts who run out of the intel room and take the stairs, running along the trains, are pretty much out of reach from those on the bridge/in the water. Makes for too easy a cap. Need to have a way to stall scouts who take that route, or move them onto the bridge.

Or maybe not, maybe it's enough of a disadvantage wasting time getting onto the train (but I would say it's not). Maybe if getting up onto the trains in the first place was more difficult then scouts would have a choice - danger now or danger later?

Overall though this was really fun, especially for ctf. Like a mini doublecross with less of the stalemate. I hope you continue with this! Gorge theme, remember

[Micnax]

It's here! Woohoo!

Now submitted into the contest, after a gruelling 34 hours and 13 mins over the course of 72 hours! I recorded myself creating the map from scratch on my stream, so I'll have a speeded up compilation up soon.
