I guess you'd call this a climb map, even though most of it is spent sliding downhill on yer belly. :p

It's called ctf_icetraining, here's a screenie:

and the map itself:

I'm open for comments and whatever, this is my first climb map and only my second map at all. It'll probably seem very easy for someone familiar with climbs, but I've got a hundred ways thought up to make it tougher.

...It's fun anyway. :p


Topic title edited again, leave it like that & see forum rules please. (grand_diablo)

I like I like! The construction of the map is cool, the ideas for the obstacles and the knowledge of the game mechanics is very good. I don't really like the visuals, but essentially, it's the map that counts! Nice :)

BTW: Welcome at the forums ;)

Oh, yeah, it's butt ugly. Didn't put much effort into the looks.

Don't worry, my ctf (in progress) looks better :)

Hmm climb maps seem to have much more popularity now.

I can give it good ratings in terms of gameplay, but man is that map ugly. :)

I could be all fancy and fade and whatever, but then you'd land on the grey vertice of a deadly poly, and complain to me about gameplay. In other words, climbs can't really be that fancy visiually, beacause each color has a very important purpose.

Anyway, thanks for the good comments.

At one point i made a climb map.... It was shaded fairly well... And it was actually quite fun.

I should post it :)

This map doesn't have a great visual, but the gameplay looks good ;)

Don't worry, I've made a harder version that's even uglier! I'll put it up after I test it some more.

I played it and it was good.
I don't like climbmaps anymore though.
Because on this one reallllly long one I got to the very end, and some moron came up and m79'd me into the death wall....

But yea, shading would make it look better, obviously.

If you don't like climbing maps, then don't post your opinion here so that headstone or any other rookie mapper will feel upset.
