Capture the Flag Lush Clear Client Side Custom Textures Custom Shapes Night

I have just started playing Tribes 2 again recently and figured I would release this map. Originally this map was slated to be released in the Dynamix Final Map Pack but I never got around to pollishing it the way I wanted. After playing in some servers I have made some modifications that should make this a blast. I simplified the power structure so its very straight forward. My goal was to allow for a multitude of playstyles.

I am giving this map a C because it might be mongos first map if it is then it shows. This map should have gone to the beta section first. The ambience is off (clear sky with lightning sounds) the interiors though simple seem incomplete with poorly scaled textures and poor lighting. I also didn't rate trhis map any lower because it does seem to me to be able to provide good gameplay. One more thing, if you are going to include a sky with the map then include the .dml file as well so it doesn't UE everybody that doesn't have the final map pack or say that you need to have the pack and not include the sky.

First of all, this isn't my first map :) Beggars Run and Sanctuary were both my maps. Secondly, I admit the lighting and textures are fairly simple but I don't work for Dynamix anymore and I feel they are quite adequate for what I was trying to accomplish. Plus having emergency lights on the outside is a totally cool addition. I will have the dml file added to the vl2. Finally, I'd like to say that I believe this maps biggest strength is gameplay but you
have to imagine what the 31 people will be doing for now. Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks you won't have to imagine anymore :)

The ambient sounds match the sky. That is thunder you hear, not lightning(lightning does not make soun.) There's an incoming storm and you would hear thunder. Great map by the way!

I'm impressed with the interiors. Not near as complex as EEPROM's interiors, but they are very clean have good texture placing
