===================================================================== Half-Life Map Spec Sheet ===================================================================== ------General Information-------------------------------------------- Title : Two Mesas (Build 57) Filename : 2mesa.bsp Author : Walter Russell Swindell Author Email : russ01@bellatlantic.net Home page : http://members.bellatlantic.net/~trillian/russ01/ Description : A Capture The Flag map, designed for about 10-12 people, but it should be able to handle more without getting spammy. The map is set on a large high mesa, where the two bases are divided by a ravine. ------Credits and Thanks--------------------------------------------- Maniac: for the basic prefab of a rope bridge which I modified for use in this map. Thanks! Clan BeefCake: for the hours, days and months of critiquing and playtesting & also to |CA|PapaPup. Caroline, my wife: for understanding my need to code, create, and visualize. Zoner: for some nice tools. :) And thanks to Valve for Half-life, and, of course, the producers of Worldcraft, for whom I owe this success! ------Additional Info, Tips, and Notes------------------------------- 1) Flag Room - Engineer Heaven, but not invulnerable. As an engineer, you'll want to move your gun around each time it gets taken out. 2) Well/Attic (Upper Level) - First layer of D. Enforcing the battlements and covering the water area is critical to keeping your base from being overrun. 3) Offense - You'll want to send a coordinated attack if they have a decent defense. At least 2 people - One to clear or distract, and the other to start moving the flag. 4) The map is fairly simple in design, but open, and roomy in the right places. It should be an intense game with 10 or more people. There is plenty of room, so spread out. 5) Center Area & Battlements - The Upper level of the battlements is accessible, just jump/duck from the center to the wings and you'll be fine. Also, the corners of each base offer a nice bit of shelter for anyone needing it. ------Play Information----------------------------------------------- Deathmatch : Yes, Teamplay -> TFC Mod Single Player : No Map Description : Two bases, red and blue. Separated by upper and lower cave section. How Many Players: 10+ in TFC. A very popular range. It should be fine with up to 32 players, r_speeds are low. ------Map Information------------------------------------------------ New Textures : nope New Sounds : nope ------Construction--------------------------------------------------- Base : No base, but inspired by some areas of solo game.
