El Alamein and Berlin CTF

I played my fair share of CTF in the past and these were two of my favourites. You'd have to try it out but I think they could do well even with +60 players.

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

Ok, and what are your ideas for those maps? In El Alamein how many planes, tanks, jeeps on each side? Any other special mod, like faster jeeps? Disable exppacks?
I'd like to read your suggestions for Berlin CTF mod. Any tanks? Grenades disabled? I also think it can be a fun map with lots of players.

El Alamein, then you should talk to the former BoH guys. they had an awesome mod for CTF el ala, with all kind of planes + turbo jeeps

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

If someone already has a modded El Alamein CTF map to be shared, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

One baserape/basecamp map is more than enough.
Besides, there are only very few who actually try to capture the flag.
80-90% is just busy raping, camping or going for all flags except the flag

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

that's why I suggested these two maps and not Wake or Kharkov for example which are nice too but prone to heavy baserape.

@tuia
as others said, for El Alamein try to get the Moongamers mod with turbo jeeps. but it's not necessary. if you just add a bunch of planes and aa's it will do just fine.
for Berlin you can simply remove explosives and add a bunch of jeeps. that should make it nice.

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

Can't promise you when it's ready and if it will be. When I have some free time I will try to mod those maps, it shouldn't be hard to do it.

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

Beware u don't mod too much because players will drop and definately when u set CTF instead of conquest.
Most players prefer normal conquest and when it's ctf, like on Guadal, only a few are playing for the flags.
The majority doesn't mind going for the flag and just basecamp/baserape and or go for the normal flags.

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

Assi is right, i wouldn't mod too much. El Ala ctf is pretty boring imo with all those turbo jeeps and stuff...

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

Ramjet, thank you. I will contact you tomorrow by email.
El Alamein CTF modded map can be tested for some days and then you decide if it's worth it.

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

hmm i'm pretty surprised by the negative responses. the mod was very popular and Moongamers are still running a similar (but worse) version of it. you really can't compare it to ctf Guadal which is a terrible map for ctf because it's too hard to steal and discourages people to go for flag. the turbo jeeps on el alamein guarantee people going for flags and also help prevent tanks camping runways or main bases.

I just don't want more ctf maps...

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

What ever you do with el al, please keep all those aircrafts because it is very nice map for flying and maybe it could be much better ctf than guadalcanal with added turbojeeps smile

I forgot to change that in El Alamein CTF. Thanks for reminding. You can exppack the flags, but you will waste your exppacks.

Re: El Alamein and Berlin CTF

you might want to put a server message that explains how to use the turbo-jeeps. noobies don't know about it and think that people are cheating when they see the flying jeeps.

or an admin command for example: !ctf = "use right or left click for jeep turbo"

Good idea, Ramjet. I guess an admin command will be better suited than a constant server message, as turbo jeeps are only used in El Alamein CTF map.
