[Discussion] New Maps in 0.6.0 (Page 2 of 2)

I don't like the thing, that there are more than 5 ctf maps now - ctf8 etc.
If you ask anybody, what ctf maps he usually plays, he'd say ctf4. And the fact that there are ctf8 maps - isn't good at all!

exalkun: ctf5 is on my todo-list.

thepro: the old ctf4 is an instagib map and as such will not be included in future vanilla releases, no.

Aurolon: We currently have 13 official maps in Teeworlds:
DM maps:

• dm1 - First included in 0.2.0

• dm2 - First included in 0.2.0, updated in 0.4.0.

• dm6 - First included in 0.2.0, updated several times, most recently in 0.6.0.

• dm7 - First included in 0.5.0

• dm8 - First included in 0.5.0, updated in 0.6.0

• dm9 - First included in 0.5.0

dm3-5 has never been included in a public release.

CTF maps:

• ctf1 - First included in 0.3.0

• ctf2 - First included in 0.3.0, minor updates in 0.4.0 and 0.6.0

• ctf3 - First included in 0.5.0

• ctf4 - First included in 0.5.0, replaced in 0.6.0

• ctf5 - First included in 0.5.0

• ctf6 - First included in 0.6.0

• ctf7 - First included in 0.6.0

Also, most maps have gotten graphical overhauls several times.

As you can see, there are several map updates in every major release, so this is nothing new or unusual.

Small review on the changed dm maps:

dm6: The new look (doodad placement, maintile thingies) is  awesome. Nothing much to say. But the gameplay changes aren't really noticeable ingame. It's just like something new. Nothing bad but not really needed. Some of you may think else but I never really used this platform.

dm8: Look is amazing as usual. The gameplay change is nice. I really love it. You have much more space to move around down there and it's now like the new main-fightning-zone.

I'm somehow disappointed about the new unhookables. They look so nice but aren't used anywhere.
Now I'm waiting for ctf5 to get changed

ctf 6 cool new fresh map good alternative to ctf2  4/ 5

ctf4 kinda lame slow not used to it yet maybe it becomes cool  2.5 /5

ctf7 balanced symmetrical vers of ctf1 not much to say about it 3.5 / 5

dm maps not tested yet sicne there is no dm community out there .

Graphics cool but the maps lack animations .

greets Marik

ctf1 isn't balenced

Why not right now?

And yeah, i'm agree ctf5 needs some rework, as well as dm9
dm8 became epic 1v1 map, i really like it
dm6 is pretty unusual so far, but as i'm not playing dm much i won't complain about if it's good or not.
ctf4 is pretty nice map, as far as i know the first version was done by Szyker and had the name 'ctf_aztec'. So i can say that even aztec was epic, but chi1 reworked actually what i didn't like in it, and right now it's exactly what i wanted to see.
ctf6. Simply epic, that was a hard task to create a map that is as good as ctf2, but chi1 and Steph succeed, what can't frustrate.

I like the fact that we have 1 map for each number of players:
2v2 - ctf7
3v3 - ctf3
4v4 - ctf4
5v5 - ctf2
6v6 - ctf6
And i hope more custom maps will get official in the future releases (please, make those releases at least twice a year).

Stay wild

ctf2: I actually didn't notice the moment of the ground, so I have no comment on that. I absolutely love the background (very nice job Landil ) and I like the overall changes to the winter graphics. It is more in your face than before but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. But one thing I'm not fond of is the scratches. Displacing them father apart would be a good idea since they are too bunched together.

ctf3: I like the overall graphic changes to the desert graphics. So good job there. However, I don't like how the desert_main tile set was used. The sand-ish part looks randomly placed. It's kinda an eye catcher and not in a good way. Making it, more or less, smoother look would be nice.

ctf4: I like the overall remake-design of the map. *thumbs up* However, like in ctf6 (but more pronounced) there are many places that are just too far apart. Many times I would try to hook something and miss which inherently means I'd fall and that's very bad when four savage reds are on my tail. Also, I'd like to see just a tad more overall weapons. I found myself sparing with only a hammer and gun far too often. But most of all, I don't like the hearts' and shields' layout. Not enough are bunched together. Heavily health holding places I will often go to for a quick fuel-up when I'm carrying the flag and fleeing for my life. And yes, ideally, having a different looking b.g. from ctf6 would be a plus.

ctf6: I'm not sure if it was purposeful but the ground seems somewhat far spaced apart.
The background layer, (layer 4, sub-section 2) there are many parts that just seem jagged. There are parts where it appears as if it's trying to go vertical when it should be going, more or less, boxy and in chucks. (I'm not sure if I explained it well but I can make an edit and email to it Landil to show how it'd be better)

ctf7: I'm not sure how I feel about it yet... I thought ctf1_reworked (ctf7) would be replacing ctf1. I like how the current ctf1 is because it's unique, so by no means do I want it replaces, but ctf7 is way to simular to ctf1. Either one of them has to go or one of them has to be changed to something less like the other.

And I don't have enough of an opinion to criticize any of the other maps, yet. ;D

typo

Please explain this to me.
