CTF 512K Arcane Enigma

CTF 512K Arcane Enigma

UT-CTF - Medium, 8-12 players. Released November 2014.

This map was inspired by Shane Caudle's DM Arcane Temple UT product map. Built for the UT99.org 2014 512K contest, I was planning to do a Temple theme map and after looking for some inspiration I ended up revisiting the 'ol Arcane Temple. While I was running around in AC I saw how it could work potentially for the base layout in a small CTF map.

The initial experiment (a brute force edit) showed some promise but the map was quite a large filesize and so I had doubts it could fit into 512k. Anyways, I decided to give a try and eventually arrived at this extremely simplified layout.

So the 512K map was mainly built from scratch but did copy and paste in some sheets and other bits - took about 8 hours altogether including testing and tweaking.

It looks similar to AC in the flag room and the inner base room, where you can do some jumping. So that's it...! Good for 8 to 12 players. I recommend teams of 5 masterful bots, regular weapons and for god sakes enable the XLOC - don't be a pussy, it's an essential CTF tool! Altogether there are two of each gun in the map, but no redeemer or superhealth.

Thanks to the folks at UT99.org for holding the 2014 512k contest and as always many thanks to Tom_caT for the beta tests :)
