Map Details for Swamplands |
||
A balanced CTF map in a swamp during a heavy rainstorm. The heavy fog makes it dangerous to fly at low levels, and the high floodwaters make it difficult to travel on land. (There is also the occasional lightning strike, so be careful) The environment allows for some strategies that may not be available in other maps. 4 flag captures to win. Another note- the MPB is available for construction, but it's very dangerous to attempt to drive it because even a slight pothole can submerge it enough to make it explode. There's a big payoff though- if put in a good position, the MPB's inventory station can be extremely useful, and the turret will be extremely effective because enemy vehicles will not be able to see or outmaneuver the missiles. |

Grade: A- » Submitted by OutlawXl on 09/12/01Sweet map, loved it everything from the water to selection of bases. only thing is that i dont really like the vehicle pad under water, dont know why really just do. The effect with fog isnt like some maps and the mapper did a great job with it. the main thing though i think there is to much 'base' you only need one base maybe a flag base if you want but having a invo base/flagbase/defence base on some maps i have seen gets to hard to find were things are :(... Grade: A+ » Submitted by TseTse on 09/08/01Wow. I played this on a "pickup" game a few weeks ago, and forget to comment. This map really surprised me in terms of the gameplay. The environment is superb and the gameplay is surprisingly fast given its siege elements, since the flag is kinda below the rim of the surroundings. This one really oughta get more attention out there. Grade: A- » Submitted by ArmyMage on 08/20/01Though i did like the feel of the map (very nicly done on the swamp). I didn't like that there was 5 turrets per team. It almost makes it into a siege base. Good job overall, i would suggest it to people :) Grade: None » Submitted by Hummer6606 on 08/15/01cmon people... what's it take to get some reviews around here?? Grade: A- » Submitted by EarthSerpent on 07/30/01The look of the map is awesome, lots of water nicely placed, not much in the way of turrets, just MHO. Not a revoultiary map but still a good one. Grade: A » Submitted by GIMPbeowulf on 07/25/01After playing it, I realize that the MPB works just fine. :^) The concept is a great one indeed... I'd have liked a bid denser fog, but that's just a preferance for something like this... great job. The deep and shallow water sections do indeed make for some very interesting places to go. Grade: None » Submitted by Hummer6606 on 07/24/01Well, the water's just a few inches deep off the vehicle pad, so the MPB might get a little damp but not wet enough to cause any problems. :P Grade: None » Submitted by GIMPbeowulf on 07/24/01*looks at pic* ... *thinks* ... It looks like it's impossible to get off the vehicle pad without the jericho getting wet (go boom). It the water swells or something, it would have to do it very slowly... ? I'll play it when I get home. :^) Grade: A » Submitted by Whoracle on 07/23/01I love the map! The bases are pretty well balanced and are accessible. The way the swamp floods certain ski zones adds a twist for the cappers. This a definate must-have for your server. Grade: A+ » Submitted by Jerry the Kraut on 07/23/01The environment rocks. The fog makes driving the viehicals especially challenging, which makes for more exciting aireal gameplay. The flags reqire quick definse, but that helps the less skilled guys like me get some points in. Very well balanced definsively as well as offinsively. All in all, an excellent map to play on. Grade: A- » Submitted by mccannon04 on 07/19/01I liked this map a lot, it was a great place to play with a lot of people , lots of action. Using the tanks was great here. Grade: A- » Submitted by Star on 06/20/01I liked this map mostly due to it's enviornment. The water, as mentioned below, was realistic for a swamp. The fog and occasional lightning strikes add to the swamp-like atmosphere making visibility low. The flags are easy to grab so quick defenses are necessary for victory. Reminds me of Dagobah, or however you spell it, except with less trees. |

Good map, I just thought that the placement of some items could have been done better.
