on version 1.1.6 it would be cool if u put in old maps like ctf_Death and arena 3 accept put some stat guns on them and stuff i think that would be cool.[8D]

I agree that CTF_death should be revived. A single strategically placed minigun in the center could make it much more interesting, since that gun could sweep what used to be the favored defensive sniper locations on either side and take out people on the outer area of the base without firing into the spawnpoint area itself. This would also encourage more people to go down below and fight over it rather then just dash in across the upper path.

In any case, with or without SGs, CTF_Death was always an interesting change of pace and ought to be brought back.

i was thing about him putting the stat gun where sniper defense was and build a wall so they couldnt spawn.But what u said is pretty cool either way would work

How about posting into the mapping forums and see if anyone's willing to upadte the maps for v1.1.5?

There are already several maps with defensive SGs, though; and a lot of people seem to dislike them, since everything becomes one mad chaotic rush. I think they'd be especially painful on CTF_Death, where there wouldn't really be any way around them.

(And on a more pragmatic line, CTF_Death is such a small map that having two SGs would mean that it would be almost completely covered by them, which is probably a bad idea.)

Having one down in the center would work more like the one in CTF_Run, which seems to be the most popular; players could mostly avoid it by taking the upper route, keeping it from dominating the game, but it would still be a valuable prize for the two teams to fight over.

(Edit to add reply to DNA.styx, who posted while I was writing this:)

There's already an updated CTF_Death, I believe (exactly identical to the old one). But the issue is really whether it gets distributed with the next version of Soldat or not, since maps that aren't distributed with Soldat don't get very much use in netplay (unfortunately).

Cuz i was hoping they could be in the next version so people dont have to download them.It will make it easier to put them in the soldat upgrade from 1.1.5>1.1.6
