This map features two bases, each with a rwally BIG gun on top, straight at
the other team's base. The main objective for each team is to fire that gun.
Unfortunately, this gun requires *a lot* of power to operate, power which
comes in the form of fusion cells (which bear an uncanny resemblance to the
battery cells from standard Half-Life :). To power the gun, four of those
cells need to placed in the appropriate receptacles in the power generator
room in the basement and each team starts with two of them already placed
there. So to be able to fire the gun, a team must protect their own cells as
well as steal those of the enemy.
Cells are simply captures by picking them up from their resting place in the
enemies generator room and taking them to the pad in one's own. Unlike
standard CTF rules, once they have been captuerd that way THEY BELONG TO THE
TEAM THAT CAPTURED THEM (i.e. they now stay in the base of the capturer's
team, and they return there after they've been dropped by a dying enemy -
after being untouched for 10 seconds) until the enemy team captures them back
(let's call that "two-way-capturable(TM)" :).
Once all four cells are assembled in one teams base, one of that team just has
to head up to the control room and press the fire button (the big, red one...
can't miss it :). After a short countdown and chargeup the gun should fire a
powerful energy beam at the opposing fort, killing everyone inside (and I
*mean* everyone - even members of the team that fired the gun... but I'm sure
they'll be glad to lay down their lives knowing they served a higher goal...
yeah, right! :)
After the gun has fired, the map is reset, so that each team has two cells
again.
Scoring is: 10 pts for every captured fusion cell
20 pts for firing the gun
* Things you need to know about this map *
I play TF only on LAN sessions, so I like small and simple maps suitable for 8
10 players, which his the average number of participants of such events. This
one should be such a map. It's actually the first map I designed for TFC, and
also the first map I ever released to the public (I did 3 maps for the
original TF before, but only played them with my friends on aforementioned
sessions).
* Other Info *
If you have comments/suggestions/questions/criticism just send me an e-mail...
I'd really like some feedback on whether anyone liked or disliked my map (if
it's the latter ... If you tell me why, I might be able to improve it!).
