Hello, and thanks for checking out the map.
First off, this is actually DTF_Desolate, not CTF.
DTF stands for Deliver the Flag, which is just a fancy way of saying that this is the football gamemode that pops up every once in a while.
For anyone who doesn't know, there is one neutral flag in the middle of the map, and the teams have to compete to push the flag to the enemy's base 3 times to win. Either team can pick up the flag, so the carrier being killed usually results in the enemy gaining possession of the flag, which makes the gameplay very active.
So far, I've tested this map on a server I frequent, and it seems to play out quite well and has gotten good reviews. The biggest problem currently seems to be getting players to overcome the mindset of "THERE'S A FLAG, I MUST TAKE IT BACK TO MY BASE!!!!" despite the arrows, HUD indicator pointing to the enemy base when you pick up the flag, and a message at the beginning of the map telling everyone what to do. Due to the generally positive reviews of the map once people get a grip on the gameplay, I figured that it was time to upload it here and get a bit more experienced feedback so that I can make layout adjustments before I start detailing heavily.
So give it a test run, tell me what you think, and I'll probably sign it up for a gameday or two if it's well recieved. Thanks in advance for any advice and critique you can give me, as I very much appreciate it. Hopefully I can make this a solid map, since I enjoy the football gamemode despite it being relatively unseen.
