Declined Proposal: 24/7 ctf_convoy

[Cylosis]

This is a standard CTF symmetrical map. It consists of 2 moving rocket carriers racing side by side through the desert. The map idea and name was inspired from a UT2K4 map, however this map features a completely original design created specifically for TF2 CTF gameplay.

Objective: Your mission is to is to board the enemy’s carrier, steal their intelligence and return it safely back to your control room. Be careful not to drop it off the vehicle! Your team will be penalized by 1 minute of being unable to recover their intelligence if it is dropped off the vehicle as it must respawn in their control room.

Strategies: Offensive and defenses tactics require some team coordination to execute efficiently, however the map is also designed to give skilled solo players a chance.

Defense on this map is not as easy as most CTF maps. The opposing teams can gain quick entry to the control room where your intelligence is stored if all routs aren’t guarded. There are a few hot spots for sentry guns but for an impenetrable defense it will require a precise coordination of at least 3 sentry guns, each one defending each other from venerable spots. It’s a good idea to use heavies and demo’s to keep those invading the carrier pushed back as far as possible. There is a wind force that will push players back if they try to jump across the map from one carrier to another, so getting directly across without using the extension bridges will not be easy, but there are some spots to build a defense against those trying to jump across onto your carrier.

For lack of any other decent 24/7 ctf_convoy servers out there and I'm tired of 2fort.
That is all.

This is Bottiger's concern, not ours.

 

[BladeZ]

YESH. +1

 

[Gen.mcMuster]

It really is a great map. and the server's that do run it are usually well populated.

Im actually surprised that valve hasn't picked up the concept and made an official version yet

DO WANT

 

[Turtle Poop]

+1 I don't see this map too much maybe its because I only play on skial servers.

 

[Particle Man]

I'd defs be a regular on Convoy.

 

[Bottiger]

It is extremely unpopular so no.

aww damn it

 

[Lord Killington]

Maybe the reason it's unpopular is that there's no servers for it? Think about it. No servers = no game time. EVERY server runs bloody 2Fort, and that's one of the most popular. Think. Which is cause, and which is effect?

There is a 24/7 convoy server in that list. It has 3 1 people in it.

the graph shows that it gets fairly decent numbers in the evening though. and i recall playing on a Convoy server fairly frequently that was usually near full.

yes we found on another network that while it was quite fun to play, the map itself was unpopular as bott says.
