Capture the Flag Volcanic Foggy Client Side
While sitting in the T2 Recruiting Chat, I became extremely bored, (as is usually the case). So, I spoke up.
"Ok people. The first person to PM me with an original concept for a map will get that concept created, and I will start tonight."
The first one to PM me was Phantom_Lord, and here was his idea:
The theme was to be Heaven Vs. Hell. Hell would sit on the ground, surrounded by a pool of lava, and Heaven would float above Hell.
That was the idea. Now, to explain the finished map. When I was first told the idea, the thing that popped into my head was the gameplay balance. That was the hardest to overcome, and I still don't think I got it really. First off, I tried to get it so that there would be teleporters between the sides, and those Teleporters would be surrounded by "Team-Only" ForceFields so that say someone teleporting from Hell to Heaven won't get shot and killed the minute he reaches Heaven, due to the ForceFields. Well, to make a long story short, (And Three Hours of trying), I couldn't get teleporters to work in the map, let alone show up in the map editor to place them. So if anyone has clues to help me, PLEASE e-mail me and I will revise the map.
Second, I had to forego the Lava surrounding Hell's Island for balance issues. Whenever Hell used the platforms to ascend to Heaven, missing a platform would demise them to a lava death, while Heaven just had to drop down and could easily make the island without hitting the lava. So.....if someone sends me clues to get the teleporters working, I will reintroduce the lava and remove the platforms. So, I guess that is it.
As I stated before, I believe the balance is still way off, so after playing the map, PLEASE e-mail me or contact me through T2 telling me of any balance issues you find, and I will revise the map ASAP. So, that's the story behind Heaven & Hell. Enjoy!
