KotH DamItOut

[Bowtie]

My second TF2 map and my first "serious" map.

DamItOut is a KOTH map set in the middle of the desert, with RED and BLU both manning dam/reservoirs as their base. It is small, but may allow for some interesting gameplay. The map combines water, and a pit that surrounds the CP that kills anyone that get a foot near the ground. The top of each base has a reservoir of water with a ledge in the front. The front of each base is sloped, allowing rocket-jumping Soldiers to get up to take out enemy snipers.

The idea of a water reservoir is not bad, but this is not completely thought through.

Wouldn't a basin of still water in the desert just evaporate rapidly?

Aside from that, a water reservoir would most likely have a conical (or maybe even spherical!) shape, as that would require less building materials for the same amount of water. STILL then, a desert reservoir might even be a natural underground one.


I'd love to see a map where water is the thing being fought over, but this doesn't quite convince me yet

You may also want to read some design theory. Currently, the control point has one route for each team, is completely exposed and at a severe height disadvantage, making it extremely unattractive to capture.
