Relic (version 1.0) - Small competitive CTF map for 6 - 8 players. Use with "Frecks' CTF" for best results.

Introduction:
After making "Rust" and recieving lots of feedback from the community, I decided I wanted to try and make a small competitive CTF map. I knew I was quite decent (he says) at forging flood but I wanted to make a map which could improve my level of understanding on block usage,...

It looks an aweful lot like a map we play in matchmaking, but I can't recall the name at the moment. If you would like though - send me a message on xbox fame28 and we can play test it and possibly video record some footage for you if you like (I have a capture card and stream to twitch.tv, so we can try to round up some players for any competitive map testing - no zombies please - lol)

Sooooo Simplex?

 

[Affreckles]

Well ... I got my inspiration from simplex, bit of overkill with the wall corners! Perhaps I should change it a little so it is it's own brand so to speak.

Brace large much?

Looks like a really clean 2 base 2 tower map, cudos. They're the simplest competitive maps to do and a great introductory style of map, it is limited in the fact that it is just that, 2 base 2 tower maps really don't have anything unique about them since forge is kind of inundated by them. One thing I do suggest you do is create more interesting geometry on the bottom floor by creating some dips in elevation etc, the wall collies are kinda boring. I mean it should be alright but it's just more interesting to add that extra layer of player movement and safety. I say this especially because it looks like green/gold are more segmented than standard 2 base 2 towers and this exposes the bottom mid area more so than usual.

I ran out of budget and it seemed nice to add something other than white.

That's a cute little arena you have there! I will have to give it a try.

Affreckles updated Relic with a new update entry:

Minor tweaks to weapons, line of sight blockers and added more to the back corners behind the bases

So I decided after uploading the map that I needed to make some minor tweaks to it.

Weapons:
The shotgun has been replaced by concussion rifle reloading at 120 seconds with one spare clip. That has been swapped positions with the needler so that the concussion rifle is riskier to obtain because it is more powerful. The energy sword has now...
