It's just an idea, but it's not bad(I think)

I just tested it, and it's a little cramped...
also, its a little hard to play, with all of the jumping from levels and all.
Some people can fall a lot and then get frustrated.

I do like the fact that your jump lengths are easy for a mouse user, but i dont think it would be as easy with a keyboard user...

Just something to think about.

just a tip if you need to jump and the map is not configured for it yet......

just after the file name type -j this will allow jumping..... If you need more commands like rico and shot count contact me!

You add '-j' to the options section of your map file, so it would look like this:

Code: Select all

options
-j
end

The map is really fun and really playable, but the hardest thing to do is reach the base. Yeah, I know it's supposed to be a challenge to capture a flag, but jumping or dropping to it is difficult except from one or two positions. You can keep it or change it. It's hard to reach partly because of the base's size.

My suggestion: shorten the walkways above the base slightly so that you can just drive off of them and fall to the base, but keep it so that you can still reach a different walkway by jumping to it if you aren't going to the base.

Otherwise, I really enjoy it. It's a really nice change.
