CTF-Strand

[Hazel.H]

Name: CTF-Strand (formerly CTF-Retro beta)
Version: 1.0
Compatibility: UT3 + Titan Pack

Description:

A CTF map set in an abandoned London Underground tube station. Inspiration came from the film "creep", photos of abandoned tube stations and my own visits to London. The level is mostly custom meshes and textures. At the moment it's PC only but I'm planning to work on a PS3 version, it just needs testing and possibly a few material changes.

Cool! I like this map. Looks retro and reduced gameplay to the max. Nice details and some very good textures btw.

I saw the map in beta but didn't have the chance to play it.

Coming from Hazel.H, it's a winner for sure

Even if I didn't play it yet, I wanted to say that it look **** nice & surely play well as always. I'll repost if required but meanwhile, THX for your work

Hmm.... the map reminds me the metro in London... OMG it is what it was supposed to be !

Pretty great work in capturing the look and feel of the London underground. I used to hate that in my daily commute down the Northern line....

Definitely a cool map. There are a couple of places that could probably use a bit less collision but you can file that away under nitpicking I guess
I like that subtle pulsing effect on the ads and one of those in particular: Shark in a park makes me laugh every time I see it

I not a CTF fan, but am a fan of your maps and I can play it in Greed mode, so...

Reminds me of a R6: Athena Sword map, based in the same general location (London subway). Anyways, the atmosphere of the map is great. Although the map is simple looking (compared to other maps), it looks great and let's you get down to business.

I like the train (though it could be a bit louder) and the digital scrolling signs (directing you to each base) as well. While the layout out is linear enough, it does allow enough choices and doesn't feel like your typical CTF layout (which is a good thing).

The biggest issue was the bots though as they got confused trying to grab the items on top of the escalator railing (I think they may have been set to Novice though). Also, it would have been nice to have proper foot step sounds on all the surfaces (I am a foot step freak).

Overall, a fun map that looks great, that make's it a keeper in my book.

Edit: p.s. You have the name "CTF-Retro" in the Title field in the WorldInfo properties.
