codename ccw - ouroboros gameplay. both teams can only capture counterclockwise (4 cp)

I haven't made a map in like 6 years. Hopefully this is fun. Each team has 2 of the four control points at the start. You can only capture in a counterclockwise direction. I think it's an intuitive concept. Both teams only have one available point for capture at a time. Spawns change periodically to keep up with the movement.View attachment 238860View attachment 238861View attachment 238862
I put this under the symmetrical cp gametype as both teams have...

Navigation

Added overlays and adjusted the hud. Thanks for those who ran around the empty map and got lost. I would like to angle the spawns consistently, but I'm unsure what direction is more important. I would like to get a test in first.

11 seconds -> 6 seconds rotations

I don't know what I was thinking. I haven't mapped in like ages so I guess that's my excuse. I forgot that 6 seconds between points is customary on 5cp. a1 and a1a were 11 seconds. Abysmal. Needless to say, it didn't test well. This version... I don't know. The map has been heavily shrunk down. It took like 15 hours.

quentin_holmes updated codename ccw with a new update entry:

more time between captures, revised B

I tried to slow down gameplay by adding vulnerability to final points, resetting all points after cap, and forcing respawns upon losing a point. I was unable to get the announcer to say "the final control point is being captured!!!" despite using vscript. If you have any suggestions, im all ears.

I tried to stop the stick spawn camping exploit, but a trigger_hurt doesnt work to destroy stickies. Likewise, im all ears.

Lastly, I noticed B was rarely held during the playtest, so I made it...

More Chokey, more predictable, better navigation

I made the control points benefit defense more. I widened areas in between chokes. I made cap times consistent again and made them shorter. I added much needed signs. I added some area specific textures to hopefully serve has landmarks before the artpass. Overall, the map is more open in most places, but the choke points have been exaggerated to hopefully help defenders. I think that the gameplay works best when if the teams are disorganized, caps happen constants, and once teams get their...

More asymmetry

People didn't like managing two fronts. The gamemode is now more similar to A/D. Red caps automatically by defending. Blu just focuses on attacking.

Return to previous gamemode, but with hub area

I added a hub area to hopefully quicken rotations. I slowed cap way down. I returned to the original gamemode.

Faster clockwise rotations + quality of life

Before the main routes between points were drop downs. I saw a lot of players as a result getting lost while trying to move clockwise, or otherwise not having enemy encounters. I want movement to remain ccw, so I tried to keep giving attackers more options, like drop downs and one-way doors. Also, I myself was confused at time what point was available to capture upon respawning, so I added glows to the active control points. I have high expectations. Last playtest went well, which was...
