Border1, Engbat, Civsaw, Votemaps, QWTF et al.

[FordGT]

After searching, I didn't find anyone recently talking about border1, civsaw, or engbat. A few people were talking about them, but the posts are almost two years old. Is anyone working on any of these?

I'd actually donate some money to someone who is, or will be, making them. I know it takes time and effort to make these things. I'm interested in hosting a dedicated server with such maps when the time comes.

I'm sure some of you remember QWTF "vote maps" where you enter a room with a bunch of portals, and each portal has a screenshot of the map you want to play. Walking through the portal enters your vote to play that map. Something like that would be kinda cool, too. I tried searching it, but I'm not sure what they were called.

I'll be trying to a make a votemap. It would be the door-breakin' deal though b/c I don't know how to make entering portals tally up votes and such.

btw, for free, come on lol

Since you mentioned it what is it you like about BAM4?
I have not played it with many folks on QWTF to know how it plays.
What are your favourite parts of the map?

I can remember someone ages ago saying that the dead end fr in the basement was a bit too defensive what are your thoughts on that?

I only messed around in pubs on it back in QWTF and it was fun for that. I played it once in a TFC match for CAL and it was a nightmare. Probably one of the most defensive maps out there, second only to fortsake2. Even if you get it out of that long flagroom hallway you still only have feasibly 1 way out of the basement unless noone is following you and you can setup a double conc up the elevators.

I think it could potentially be remade into one of the sweetest maps ever.

Obviously the lacklustre basement would need to be revamped, but the front room, water enterance, lift area, and gigantic spiral are all pure genius from a TF standpoint. Not to mention it's a map just begging for some cool as shit sci-fi/aliens-esque architecture and texturing.

I just love how open it is while still being a primarily indoors map.

Fantastic firefights

From the sound of that the whole idea of a basement 2fort style needs to be scrapped and a better solution incorporating the open interiors which give it the map appeal would be a good move. It would be intersting to see if a more open if a bit unconventional FR would work incorporating spirals and open ramps etc could even make it out of displacements in a cave light setting after my exams which will be over the end of june I will look into doing concepts for the layout of the FR and exits.

Anyone remember the name of the map where you had to (I think) set detpacks on a nuclear reactor?

I recall that being fun, if not very often played.

I remember a map called Nuclear, but it involved taking a key to a cap point, and hoping your team got into the bunker before the nuke hit.......
