Circular CTF

This is a small map that I've worked on today and yesterday. It's meant to be a two-team CTF. Each base is surrounded with tall pyramids that only allow access in two places. In between the bases are some more pyramids and ledges. It's all enclosed in a circular area.

This is the second map I've made. I coded it by hand except for one mesh from Blender. The rest is version 1.0 boxes, pyramids, and arcs.

I will probably load it on my server and put it on the public server list either today or tomorrow with 6 players per team (I think my connection can handle it - especially if no one joins).

Suggestions welcome. Here are some screenshots.

Not a bad map! Keep it up. My one concern would be camping, but I guess I would have to wait to play on it before being sure.

What an interesting map

Can't wait to see it up. I've always wanted to play in a bowl

Ok.. it's running at davemicc.homelinux.org:5154

I've defined spawn zones outside the "base area" that might help with this.

I meant camping in the sense of sitting near the base entrance to prevent your flag from being captured.

Can't really stop camping

It's in every map

Just make possibilities to get *by* camping rather than trying to make a map uncampable. Shockwaves, super bullets, wings, oscillation overthruster, etc.

As far as eyecandy, looks pretty decent. The multiple extremely close pyramids look like a possible lag magnet, and I am uncertain as to how they affect playability at this point. When I get the chance I'll try to play on it to give you better criticism.

Good job so far, though.
