Fantasy Station

death. The first thing I noticed when loading up the map was the error outputted in the console by the spectator spawn point. Although this is nothing to worry about since it is just complaining about a non existant target for the view. On to the actual map, it has your basic 2 CTF flags on either side of the map, with a sort of defensive forcefield in front of them both. Throughout the map are some nice little jumppads that whisk you up to different levels. They are the type that shoot you up the side of a wall, and I like them. I had a go at making one once, but it didn't end well. However I am glad to report that these work perfectly. The items are spread out and placed well, a cloak and metaphasic shielding are powerups to make a note of. The structure of the map is also nicely done, with well placed curves, arches etc. The middle level platforms will cause you to start sliding around (by design) so you will have to try to maintain control long enough to grab the items you want and jump off to safety. The texture used here however I did not like very much, since it is basically just a bright white. I guess the effect he was going for was ice, but it looks more like someone let off a white paint bomb over it. I also noticed the skybox didn't look that nice in comparison to the quality of the rest of the map, it is a shame that Sniper didn't go for a custom made one. It is for sure a great map with good gameplay potential though, so make sure to add this one to your permanent collection.

Well this is an interesting almost straight forward CTF map. I say almost because it contains some interesting quirks such as slippery ice and coloured chemical water that will boil you to
