Capture the Flag Snow Foggy Night

After six and a half years, we're back on Ymir. This was our world once, warrior. Before the Hordes slaughtered us. Can you hear the ghosts in the wind? I can.

The screenshots dont do the map much justice, Its a really nice setting, errie lower fog in the valleys, nice clear open skies when your on the high points, the map is centered around a volcano, which looks really cool too =D

Hey Dr.P thanks for taking the time to review my map, I appriciate it.
I'm working on a new updated version, thats a little bit more balanced, makes it harder for vpad snipers, but theres a few other things it touches, and I'm not sure which will be better, So im wondering if I could send it to you first to take a look at.

yeah, linna. it is a great map. On HV just 2 days ago, Icehole came up, and everyone hates that map on the server. So, a vote came up to chage it to YOUR map. It passed with flying colors. Great job.

I've played the map online, and well, to be honest, didnt find it particularly exciting. Many people have commented on the aura of the map, but i'm too barbaric to notice nice things. Good ideas on the use of the remote, ghost bases, but the map lacks... something to make it really special? sorry about such a harsh response, CONGRATS ON MOTW!!!!!

KB, youve gotta take into consideration, that the most popular map on HV is cirlce of stones? Does anyone know whats so great about it? =D

Ugh.... Circle of Stones....

This map is pretty good. It does have a very special atmosphere that many maps lack. I think you should've put in some more ambiance effects, to add to this (i.e. audio emitters, particle emitters). I also think that the main base you chose usually isn't fun to play in. However, this is one of the few maps that it will work in. I also like the flags location, which due to it's position promotes aerial assaults, thus promoting teamwork. Congratulations on making this map, which is quite different to anything else on HV.

ace, if youve actually downloaded it and played it, theres hardly any clutter, Each team has a base, with 2 vpads. And then on each side of the map theres 2 "ghost" bases (as they have been named) hidden in the fog, as well as another 2 on either side of the volcano at the half way point. At a space of 1.5km to each flag, its not a small map, let alone "cluttered"
