Screw that alternative route crap, how about this

This is a map I've always dreamt of making and or/playing on. It's a fairly unconventional map, but I think it would rock hard. The reason for this is that there is no alternative route to the flag. Both teams have to cross no man's land and have a proper battle in the center to get to the other side. No hidden tunnels or any of that bull [:-censored]. Also, no jet packs.

I really want to stress the details with no man's land. It would be totally awesome if the players would have to crouch down in the trenches to avoid being shot, wait for the other team to stop firing at them, then make a mad dash for the next trench or crater while struggling through razor wire and tank traps.

This would rock in realistic mode, maybe even with a few stationary guns.

Every game would end in a 0-0 tie, but it looks interesting. I've always thought it would be kinda cool to have a map like that but is just covered with the tall grass you can hide in. You would have to prone and crawl your way to the other side...

Soap, please refrain from swearing on the forum.

I thought swearing was perfectly fine, as long as it wasn't done in excess. I like the idea and would work really well if Survival mode was implemented.

I think I'm going to go ahead and make this map. I've been procrastinating making a map for so long, so I'm going to carry through with this one. I won't be upset if it is a complete failure.

Not in CTF for all i know, but then again, it is implemented.

Nice idea, but kevith is kind of right, with survival mode, that wouldnt be the case..

Eugh, give it a little bit of jet. Only a bit, but having NONE is horrible, especially for cratered maps.

This map would probably be better on a red v blue teammatch.

I agree with Stalky on all points... can't say much.
Grabing the flag on such map (even with a tiny bit of jetpack) is too hard I think.
A teammatch of would be better maybe... or an INF? :)
Good luck anyhow.

Actually I really like this idea. I love playing Teammatch Lagrange in survival/realistic mode, and I think the map would rock. Did you ever get anywhere in making it?

Not a new idea by any means, even i've made one:

I love all maps with this concept, tho, so do make a map like that. :>

soldat could do with a ctf version of lagrange....problem is, making it not impossible. You work it out.

That would be a great map!
I hope someone makes a map like that.

Chaka, i've made a ctf version of lagrange, as in it has alternative routes, and NO jet.

I releaced it a while ago, i think i called it Bridges or something.. just search under me in the mapforum and you may find it... I'm still hosting it online

Nice idea. Very nice. I agree that there would probably be tons of snipers, in the bunkers particularly.
But hey, arent there always tons of snipers? Good stuff, I'd play it. Realistic mode would be a nice touch too.

I tried this out. I made a very simple, basic, ugly map and tried it, and it works like [IMAGE] in CTF. A reverse INF or TDM is the best thing for this kind of map. Personally, if you're going for the whole "real-world" war situation, what with the trenches, no jets, realistic mode etc, it would be a lot better as a reverse INF, making one team fight their way across until they manage to crack the enemy base. It's actually lots of fun that way, although I've only played with bots sofar.
