    Released another TF2 Map - CTF_Convoy

    Well over the past 2 weeks, i put together yet another tf2 map. I am begining to like the Source mapping work flow, as I can get things done very quickly. Brush modeling is still a pain, and very difficult to actually model with, but I am getting the hang of it.

    This map is called ctf_convoy. Named after what inspired me to make the map, which was the UT2k4 Assault map.

    FPSBANANA Page:
    ctf_convoy

    Or you can directly download it here:

    Description:
    This is a standard CTF symmetrical map. It consists of 2 moving rocket carriers racing side by side through the desert. The map idea was inspired from a UT2K4 map, however this map features a completely original design created specifically for TF2 CTF gameplay.

    Installation:
    Extract RAR contents into your "Steam\steamapps\<username>\Team Fortress 2\tf” directory or “\tf” directory of your dedicated server.

    Objective:
    Your mission is to is to board the enemy’s carrier, steal their intelligence and return it safely back to your control room. Be careful not to drop it off the vehicle! Your team will be penalized by 1 minute of being unable to recover their intelligence if it is dropped off the vehicle as it must respawn in their control room.

    Strategies:
    Offensive and defenses tactics require some team coordination to execute efficiently, however the map is also designed to give skilled solo players a chance.

    While your team is boarding their carrier, it’s a good idea to defend them from your own carrier with snipers as they are venerable out in the open on their deck and cat walks. There exist solo route for certain classes. Any class that is able to get on top of the rocket has a direct rout to the intel room without being in the line of sight from the opposing team. There is also a sun roof on top of the control room that one can drop in and make an ambush on those guarding the intelligence.

    Defense on this map is not as easy as most CTF maps. The opposing teams can gain quick entry to the control room where your intelligence is stored if all routs aren’t guarded. There are a few hot spots for sentry guns but for an impenetrable defense it will require a precise coordination of at least 3 sentry guns, each one defending each other from venerable spots. It’s a good idea to use heavies and demo’s to keep those invading the carrier pushed back as far as possible. There is a wind force that will push players back if they try to jump across the map from one carrier to another, so getting directly across without using the extension bridges will not be easy, but there are some spots to build a defense against those trying to jump across onto your carrier.


    Credits:
    Map designed and built by Jahrain. Credit goes to UT2K for giving me the inspiration for this map. Also special thanks goes out to T*Killa and HankDaShank for being dedicated beta testers, as well as the Twisted Network Clan (http://www.thetwistednetwork.net/) server and their members for hosting some major test plays.

    Intro and capture music clips are from:

    If you're a server admin and have a request for any alterations to be made to the map for your server, or just have any suggestions, let me know! Email me at jahrain14@yahoo.com
