Bestine Praetorium

Description
Yeah, I'm still here, surprisingly.

So, I am definitely no stranger to El Cuko's maps. I've toyed about in his Uprising III map and the ZoU Fortress was also witness to my presence. I thought this gent had disappeared from the scene entirely. Not entirely so, it seems.

So, Cuko has decided to bless our bountiful chest of goodies with a CTF map. I have to say I'm torn. On one hand, I find the map to be a little small. On the other, it feels too big. How the hell is that possible, you ask? Well, the overall path between the flags feels pretty short. There's roughly three paths that can be taken, though depending on the settings you can obviously mix it up a bit. However, there's only like, three areas, with one area just separating the two bases. Not very inspiring, to say the least.

The large factor of the map is just how broad and spacious the map is. There's no way a fun CTF could be had with just guns, you'd have to use the force to leap about, or else it'll just get too long. Even so, with that in mind, y'need a decent amount of players to get a good CTF going here in this map. Another minor oddity: Why does the water kill you instantly? Seems unnecessary, really.

Despite these aesthetic issues, the map's quite fine, structurally speaking. It's not exactly "OMG-WOW" but I'm guessing this was more for function than anything. Since I found myself at a lack of numbers for a proper CTF, I definitely suggest hard-core CTFers try this out and give some constructive advice on how to make this map boom-chaka-boom.

Good eve.
