Vehicular Warfare by ATF_abirikcham on August 6, 2002

Capture the Flag Other Clear

This maps main focus is on vehicles rather than hand to hand combat. The way vehicle use is encouraged on this map is the fact that there’s a large ocean to the enemy base which the only reasonable way to travel is by a vehicle like a grav cycle or a shrike. Also to make the main focus on vehicles I added a new feature which I just call shrike stations which when stepped on, creates a shrike and automatically mounts you in it, ready to go. These shrike stations are located all around the map in case you are shot down by another shrike pilot and so on. There ARE inventory stations at each base but I made them inconvenient by placing them off to the side to try and force players into using vehicles rather than weapons. But, if you do want to duke it out using weapons, just head over to the duel island which contains a dueling platform and invs to fight it out. The island can also be used as a place to get a new load out or repair. These inventories on the island can be used by both teams and I added some repairs packs to keep them up and running. Also the reason for not having any turrets at the bases is to force you to use vehicles to defend rather than relying on turrets to do the job. There is also no generators to destroy so this should help discourage raping and encourage vehicles. This map is meant for a larger amount of players hence vehicular warfare.

This is my first real map so go easy on me =P

Oh and if you like the shrike station idea you are free to modify it and make it spawn tanks for instance as long as you give credit.

I played this map with about 24 people on the ATF server and I had such a blast!!! It's always fast paced, and I LOVE the shrike stations. I hung out at duel island for awhile too, shooting down shrikes with my SL then making another shrike and running people over then blowing that one up and getting another and then... whew. Awesome map :D

I especially like the Shrike Stations.
Enemy: You're gonna feel my disk!
Me: No way! *jumps onto Shrike station* *uses Shrike to cut up enemy*
