Capture the Flag Volcanic Storming

This is a fun little map. Some of the ideas for it came to me before I even started messing with the T2 editor at all, and some of it is loosely inspired by broadside. In the end, it's a creative "arena" map that can be loads of fun. The short distance between the bases, coupled with the multitude of bridges and platforms at a variety of altitudes (including ramps, and bridges that cross over and under each other), and the complex bases with multiple entrances makes it a fast-paced but still-strategic map. Mortar spamming is common here, but so is cloaking and stealth, and just plain-old light-dueling as well... but you have to watch where you land or you may end up feeding the lava gods, unless you're lucky enough to land on one of the small patches of solid rock below the bases. :) The name of the map is accurate... The environment is -very- nasty, in that there's lava below, misty air, an angry red sky, and the lightning and meteor strikes are frequent and compressed into a small area (chances are you'll get hit sometime during the mission, since the map gets hit about every 3 seconds by lightning, and more than once per second by meteorites).
