FEEDBACK

Gameplay: "The fun factor is real." That's what's been going on in my head when playing, even only in 1v1. The whole way the map works flows perfectly. Like many non-auto attack maps, maneuvering, dodging, and unit position is what the map is all about. That's what makes it fun.

There being four simple abilities you can use in one set, it makes it very easy for new comers to play. The only problem I have with them is that, the rocket/missile can shoot anywhere, even in the spawn. Even though it's not insta-kill (2-3 hits), it will just make it unfair if no one heals.

I find it quite odd for you to respawn where you die, there are other ways to avoid spawn kill such as spawns more spread out on your teams side. It's no a bad thing, I'm sure most are just not used to it.

Both game modes are extremely fun. Teamwork is the key to win, covering the flag carrier actually is a factor in this CTF game. The way the carrier is slow actually isn't annoying, it makes it very intense. Playing in 1v1 is only a game of push and pull though, I don't recommend it.

I was thinking there would be a dash like move do to the nature of the game, maybe you want to think about that.
Almost flawless gameplay, 19/20


Terrain: The terrain is great. Since it's an arena type map, most people would know arenas don't really need a lot of tile variation or height difference. But these downloadable tiles are great, you mixed them well. Do the crosses under the barricades do anything? There are 2 more red ones than blue ones in the middle.

The layout of the map is a lot more strategic than other CTF's also. At first, I though it was way to small. But you can actually flank the edges, go straight up the middle, or stay back and fire.

10/10


Scenery: I feel like I'm playing a Battlefield 2142 mini-game in Warcraft. The way the doodads are set up, and how they have death animations are pretty awesome. Something about the lighting makes it seem futuristic, I think it's the screen lights. Really nice decorations everywhere.

The interface is really impressive as well. All of the buttons and the edges of the screen makes it seem like I'm not not playing Warcraft 3.

I know this isn't scenery, but those sounds are really fun to listen too. From capturing a flag to casting spells, they make the map better. Explosions could be more Michael Bay like though ;D (Explosions could be bigger)

10/10


Consistency: No bugs found, I played for around 15 minutes. I think you should hide vision from the spawns and maybe the hallway where you capture the flag to avoid the rockets over the map if you still want to keep it's unlimited range.

4/5


Presentation: Great description, especially without a template! You explained how to play, included all the credits, screenshots, and features. It also grabs attention. You are missing if the map is allowed to be edited. See the end of the review for more info.

4/5 (FIXED, 5/5)

Wait the Comments...

 

[perrosuper2]

I play your map, pretty good though the spells as shockWave and others are very simple.

In my case I didn't find any bug, it will be because I will have played with 5 users?

[GhxBronie]

As I told you in the Private Message, Thanks for the Review.

In other Cases: Regarding the Red and Blue Cross in the Field (Middle)

It is like Decoration, for Example:

This is the Red Team's Zone or Blue Team's Zone. Only in the Middle, I forget Delete the Cruces, Up and Down of the Circle.

I will Reduce the Rocket's Damage but the range will Remain in Global, because if an User Throws the Rocket at Red Base, and its location in the Blue Base.

He has a chance of 70% to Fail. Since the missile is Slow and their Sound will be hear Far or Near.

Regards

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Alright sounds good.

One thing, can you explain more about the Red and Blue Crosses? I stated earlier that there are more red than blue.

As I said earlier, It is like Decoration

In Red Team's Zone, You can Find more Red Crosses. In the Blue Team's Zone, You cand Find more Blue Crosses

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

, I said tell me when you updated the map. I vote for approval now since map says protected. I didn't raise the gameplay and constancy score yet, doesn't say on the change log.

 

[GhxBronie]

Oh Ty for Vote. In this Moment I am working in the Next Version: 1.6

Edit: Thanks for the Approval! - In 1 - 2 Hours I will Replace the Version 1.5 to 1.6

Regards

 

[TheLightbringer]

Honestly is a very entertaining map, you could play it nonstop for hours.
Very well connected everything, it really is a great map.

 

[perrosuper2]

oh new version let's go to test again

Edit: a good map I think it's the best Capture The Flag's map I've ever played 5/5

 

[GhxBronie]

Ty GoddessVero by the Comment and Perrosuper2, Again xD

[Captivate]

This is a solid map. Models and terrain are a perfect match. Gameplay is smooth and responsive.


Map
However I think a larger and/or more interactive environment would be better according to me and the people I played with. Expand the map, make it longer, wider, add side alley ways etc. Add a few dynamic traps or triggers that activate a trap, or ever put some explosive barrels or something that can be shot. Would really make this game shine.

Items/skills
Add a shop on each team's side where heros can purchase items. I think including items would really make the game interesting and fun, such as a potion that increases speed for 10sec, or a potion that gives you increased firing rate for 15secs etc... Of course, each time a player gets a kill, they get gold, so they can purchase these items.
Also I think you could add/replace some skills with better and more interesting ones. Defiantly add some more skills though.

Gameplay/mechanics
I think once a player dies, they should spawn back in their main base (where the flag is) because otherwise it can get way to chaotic and confusing. Its also very annoying when you spawn and your hero is not auto selected (Please fix this). Finally I think you zoom out the camera a bit more. It seems a little too zoomed in, making it inconvenient to look ahead.

Overall, solid map with a a ton of potential. 5/5

 

[GhxBronie]

Thanks Captivate for the Comment and Rate

Well, Responding to the suggestions that you have given me.

Map

Yeah, I think the Same Idea. Enlarge Map and Add Traps, but the Players I've with played are Noobs and Leave. And I Think:

If the Map without these Traps and Enlarge the Map and still find it so Difficult and leads them to the desicion of Standing Out of the Game. Better No

Items/Skills

I could made this, but the Capture's Score wouldn't show in the Game.

And if You will be write: Get a MultiBoard.

The Problem is...I can't configure that MultiBoard to the Game's System

And I'll see if I can add more Skills. It would be more Entertaining.

Gameplay/Mechanics

I'll Think about for the next version.

 

[Captivate]

Your very welcome. Do what you can, and we'll see how it progresses. Im sure over time you'll learn a lot more new things to help improve the map I look forward to testing updated versions.

 

[GhxBronie]

Well, it has come a New Version. Hope you like.

A very fun and playable map. The units are customizable and feel very well the dynamics on the map.
The environment accompanies in a very good way to the SC theme.
For me it is a 5/5.
Great job!
