Swamps are always so scary...

Which is inspiration enough to make a swamp style CTF map, Predator style. If there already is a ctf_swamp map, I don't care, don't yell and bawl about the ctf_swamp you made, because I just don't care.

Get it here -

Here are a few shots too.

Yes, you can wade through the actual swamp bit, which is quite fun.

It also has full bot support.

Give me some crits + comments, that would be nice.

Well this one certainly didn't scare me. It's fast paced action... Basically just one route to the enemy base, which is only divided in the middle by a piece of land. A lot of scenery used and the swamp thing in the middle is nice. You could have taken more out of this swamp theme. Like at least a couple of the actual swamp spots, more paths, etc. But don't worry, bots work fine and it's quite fun also like this [8D]...

Perhaps it could be a 'ctf_miniswamp', and I could get started on a 'ctf_bigswamp' or something :D

I aspire to be a mapping god, so it's good practice, regardless of if the new version is out yet.

you're a very good mapper :) keep up the good work...can't wait to see your next release...

Edit:

Your maps have a very simplistic layout but the cool thing is that it offers spectacular gameplay and is very fun :) the quality of the map is also very professional...well done :)

I wanted this map to be very linear, so there is only one way to get to the enemy base, which is straight towards it.

Yeah, I'm working on another map as we speak.

Ja na.

Somalians. Ever seen Black Hawk Down? Or read the book?

Anyway, I canned it. I didn't like it.

Yes, an arctic map would be cool. I would love to see that. Looking at some of your other work an arctic map would kick ass.

Well go see my map ctf_MeatPackers (available here in forums)... It's not artic, but has a "cold" feeling... Update coming soon as the bird's head spoils the map and I will also include working bots to the next version. I'm alredy making maps ctf_IceBattles (artic map) and ctf_DesertRats (desert map). I need a tester or two to the later one. A person who knows how to handle the bots (now they work and next time they don't) and who would be willing to give suggestions...

Anyone for a deathmatch swamp level? I'll make one.

Disco, If you make the CTF Somalia map it would be cool. It could be RTB style if you know what that is, with blue being peacekeepers or something and the Somalies attacking their base. I could make a bunch of bots for the map as well. It could be cool. Please PM me if you got my message.

u should make an official ctf map...thats all super fair and pretty and all...should be the "perfectest" map evar~

it should kinda have the same layout as swamp but maybe have umm "more" i guess more layers? tunnels whatever u can think of to make the map better...i dunno...just a suggestion...something i want to see in the future i guess...

Wahhh! Great map Disco Dan! I never knew about these forums or anything, seeing as I had downloaded soldat from an outside link a few months ago. Cool!
