(UPDATES SCROLL DOWN)

Players may use the platforms or the bounce pads to capture the enemy flag. Once you’ve captured the enemy flag you have 45 seconds to get to the boss portal, if you do not get to the portal on time you lose the flag and your team gets no points.(You may only go into the boss portal if you have the enemy flag). If you make it to the boss portal you are transported to one of the boss platforms (Depending on what team you are on). Once you get transported to a boss platform you will have to fight a boss (A bot will appear). If you defeat that boss your team gets a point, if the boss defeats you, your team does not get a point.

Also there are a few open spaces with health/shields/guns/ammo in this level for just good ol’ fighting.

Any game really. Just a random CTF level design.

[edit: Oh and since the whole level is platforms, if you fall, you die! All the white represents bottomless pit area]

Sounds interesting, but it really shouldn't be ALL platforms. Have some catwalks and maybe some teleporters here and there.

The concept is really nice, and if implimented properly, the level design and type of boss could really add some depth to the idea of the CTF stuff.

The proportions of the areas, and the setup seems a bit off... Seems too open from the looks of it. I'd like to see something where there's an emphasis on the defense of each flag, those health are kept to the appropriate bases, and a larger crossover area.

That's not CTF. That's action adventure crap. I don't like it. Add more competitive aspects, and less single player aspects, and it'll be fun.

CTF stands for Capture the Flag. You are capturing a flag, but the twist is, instead of running home to Mr.Base which gets boring after the first 20,000 times, you fight a boss!

Yeah, I'd still like to see the main difficulty getting to the flag. That open it'd make it relatively easy to get to the flag. Rearrange it a bit, focus on giving the base defenders crossover fire opportunities, height advantages, etc. And move the health/weapons closer to the flag. As well as some of the other things I mentioned and I think it'd help the style.

As suggested

[http://www.secksinlyricform.com/jon/lvl2.jpg]

(general Ramos pointed out, that there is nowhere to hide, and that a sniper could take over the whole damn map..so make belive I added a bunch of boxes....and stuff.. and yeah, the level is bigger then it looks, you wount be able to just snipe from base to base, nothing is really in proportion..just kinda of a rushed idea put on paper, before I forgot what it was.)

Also now there isn't a time limit to get to the boss portal, you just have to get there :P ..and those red lines around the flags are still walls, just forgot to make them black.

I like this one. It looks cool. Next level I make I'll consider this design. Does anyone else see this first appearing in a Nar Shaddaa themed level?

I like the desing... Refreshingly original, I'd say... I haven't seen a CTF map as good as this since that huge Nar Shaada map that comes with JK... and the DT II :Nightfall map for JO (probably converted to JA by now, although I have yet to hear about it)...

Thank you very very much [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

And MBeggar, I was thinking about more ways to get the flag, but with all that stuff and platforms and gun posts there is enough room in between for fighting and all that. Some JO/JK levels have only one way to get a flag so.. meh.

Did you have a theme in mind when making this design? Personally (as far as J* goes), I think that Nar Shadda might be the best choice, but it would also work well with Tatooine, and perhaps Hoth. I think I'll try making an expirimental map using that in JK. (I don't own JO/JA... yet)

I was thinking more of a Dark Tempest style. Anything with a huge bottomless pit and everything is basically a platform. :P
