Capture the Flag Desert Clear Bots Client Side Custom Textures

I designed BATB for very quick and intense matches which is why the score limit is at 10 flag caps. Because of the simplicity of the terrain the bots work pretty well. The map is also balanced for fair play.

This map is VERY fun to play. Its, small and compact. But, its not too small that you cant manuvuer. The choke point in the middle is a great addition, and adds the feeling of Scarbre to BATD. There aren't any ski routes, but a few hops will get you across the map. Course, then you'll be greeted with a mortar in the face, but oh well :)

I like the simplistic design, and the nautestic feel of this map. Who never went to the beach after playing tribes and wanted to disk that ever annyoing life guard? Well, now you can :D

Download this map and play with your buddies, its a great map and the textures are worth the download. Its great for newbies and vets alike. The map is small, so you won't have to ski a lot, which is good for newbies. But, it is large enough that a disk jumping Vet will just zip across the map. The great thing about the design is, that due to the flag placement, if he does zip to the flag with out backup, he will get massacred. So, teamwork is essential, and BATD promotes it.

I look forward to playing BATD at all the LAN parties I go to. Props to Thyroid for making such a fun and great map. I hope to see more of them in the future.

Oh yeah hehe :) I'm a bad speller, go figure :D If only dynamix would include an automap dl feature, this would be a very popular map. Oh well, there's always the LAN parties.

BAT"B" is a great map :)

great map, but one question. any reason you didn't make the water have any boyancy? when walking through the water, it's just like on land, with no slowing down or cooling your armor's jets or anything...

It's a fun map, but there are a couple of problems with it. One was mentioned earlier, the problem with the water. You only get resistance when you enter or leave, but while you're in it there is no resistance.
Secondly, I think the turrets in the middle should be cut down to 2. The problem with 4 is that the rear turrets shoot the front turrets as I approach the tower.
Don't get me wrong, its still a fun map, great for dueling (and a snipers wet dream!)

This map is alot of fun. A group of us played it last night and had a riot. I really like the layout and fast pace. The only question I have...is there a repair pack hidden anywhere? We lost our generator and noone could repair it and I couldn't find a repair pack.
This is definately a team map though because you need someone to defend the generator as well as take out the enemy's and control the center switch.

Great Design!!

I'm stunned at the amount of positive feedback this map generated! I guess I'll release my other maps as well. Thanks everybody!!

The bug with the water I knew about. I deleted the old water block and replaced it with a new one but it had the same bug as the first. I know it's probably something obvious that I forgot to do but I just shruged it off since I find it made the gameplay that much faster.

The repair packs are in the middle of the group of invo stations. They are a little higher than the players head so people won't grab it by mistake.

You know what really annoys me? Peoplewho give maps A+'s or F's, and haven't even played the map. For example, Taco's "This map looks cool!" with an A+ grade or some I've seen: "This map looks terrible" with an F grade. If you want to rate the map, at least play it first

I have played the map and not only does it LOOK cool, but the gameplay is awesome too. BTW, have you noticed that all the cool looking maps PLAY good too? Just a heads up.

This map redefines "Life Guard." This map gets A+ for environment, as cheesy as it is. However, as noted, the water behaves oddly and the gameplay is... I mean, REALLY short. I personally don't like a map that can be capped with one jump. Nor does the middle objective/turrets add much to slow things down unless one team is completely asleep. Gameplay is just way too fast and simple, but the environment is just hilarious and extremely well integrated (as a theme). If pulled farther apart and given some new dynamics, this one oughta be a favorite across all the different styles of CS servers (and yet another good argument for AutoDL).

Ahhh, you say the middle turrets can do squat? Tell that to Thyroid as I controlled the tower, planted a mortar turret, and made it extremely HARD for him to even get past the turrets hehe. Then, he took it, and it all went downhill for me from there :). BATB isn't really a serious map, its a fun map for buddies when you want to not have to learn seperate skiing routes for the 1000m that you have to go to get the flag. I'll have to get on his ass to include a base turret, but the forcefields protecting the flag should stop a flag carrier long enough for a mortar to end his day.

Cheesy_Poof_Man, it's VERY immature of you to keep giving this map an A+ on all your comments. If #1 user rated map means so much to you GO MAKE A REALLY GOOD MAP! This map has horrible gameplay imo and doesn't look like much time was put into it at all. Just cuz the guy that made it is your friend and you guys want #1 user rated doesn't mean you need to cheat. I think bytor should change all you're extra grades to 'None'.

I don't care for this map either, how are you supposed to have a fun game on something so flat... the water doesn't play a difference like it should since it's... er... like not there. I think a lot of you guys are far too impressed by a couple nice textures... PhotoShop is a much better program than the T2 editor for making purty things... the T2 editor is for making things that play well... looks are a secondary concern.

This is a funny map. It IS Jenna Jameson, she's making the noise in the background. My Plasma gun likes to attack me in the water.
