Helion by Cinderkarst on June 6, 2004

Capture the Flag Lush Clear Client Side Custom Shapes

Helion is built on probably one of the oldest concepts in T2: Make the capper's life miserable. The area around the flagstand does just that. Dense water under the stand leaves them floating while the defense spanks them and the ELF turrets saps their life. And forget about taking those turrets out for any extended period of time, as there's a repair pack sitting right there. Oh, and did I mention that the area around the stand is painfully farmable?

"So, what hope is there for a capper and the offense as a whole?"

I'm glad you asked that Jimmy.

Two huts flank the stand, each powering one turret or another. Send a guy or two to each one and the capper's life will be a whole lot easier.

The whole fray is set near a high ridge system, with each base being immediately viewable once you crest the ridge itself. The skiing's pretty good too. :)

This is the fourth release from the (xC) map series, enjoy!

Looks pretty good. I like the idea of giving the flag capper a hard time. Maybe thats just what we need to get people to work together, instead of having everyone running around like maniacs.

Just so you all don't think I'm daft, the map is called "Heel-E-On" as opposed to "Hellion". Brownie points for the person who guesses why that's so.

Well overall this map is pretty good
+I like Mirrored maps
+Good ammount of detail with Trees, bushes and crates that even go outside of the mission area
+Good custom objects
-Two elf turrets around flag on a pub game that would be a nightmare but in a clan match it wouldnt be to bad
-The individual teams bases seemed alittle to spred out from each other for my liking, although i havnt tried it in an actual pub game, could have some advandages for example the bomber wouldnt be as effective which is good cause i hate getting spawn killed by bomber and no one doing anything about it
-The sentry turret on the vpad seemed like it needed a stand or somthin to sit on it looked kinda ot of place

And there ya have it 3 pluses and 3 minuses that i could think of and the minuses arnt really anything big so i give this map an A. Keep up good work
