CTF ctf_panic_a1 [Deleted]

ctf_panic_a1 - A fast paced ctf map with close quarters gameplay.

I made Panic with the intention of making capture the flag fun. It's one of my least favorite game modes as it encourages a lot of camping and games often drag on for too long. The intelligence itself is difficult to defend in panic, but the routes leading to it aren't, meaning that defenders are more effective pushing up flank routes than just staying with the intelligence. (Well that's the intention, anyway.)

I've also tried to begin optimizing the map, but I haven't figured out how to do it in mid yet, so there may be some frame issues there. I was probably a bit overzealous when I was cutting off sight lines, so let me know if you think I should give snipers more breathing room.

I like your tinkering with the base of CTF Map design, I hope it pans out in the end

A bit of feedback just from running around the map on a empty server:

From most spawn positions it is a bit unclear where the resupply cabinets are and you cant see the other spawn exits. If you moved the spawns over just a bit it would allow players to see all the spawn exits and the resupply cabinet. Spawn around here instead

When exiting spawn it is unclear where the intelligence is, more signs around the map in general would be nice.

The middle area feels cramped and there is a long sightline here:

Apart from this there isnt really anywhere else for snipers to snipe from. For the middle area here are just some suggestions:

and then

Also where there are death pits add some signs (maybe props_mining/sign001)

These stairs seem quite steep

Small gap between brushes (on both sides)

If this is ever playtested on an aus/nz server ill give some proper feedback on how the map plays.

Thanks for the feedback Necro.The center barrier always bothered me, and you're right about the sniper sightlines. However, upon removing it I found myself with a ton of +3000 hu sight lines, and a general mess. It's better without it, but I have a feeling the map itself is heavily flawed. The next version will be a complete overhaul.
