I've seen Turbine in euroland games and it looks quite good and action packed. Even though it isn't a traditional ctf map that would be found in quake, it still seems like a good map. Is there an reason why it isn't played in ESEA?

intel gets to mid -> intel is super easy to cap, and so the game feels like it is cheating you sometimes

at least to me

people don't like it
better answer: the center-of-map hold mechanic works better in koth, the layout breaks ctf's grab/chase dynamics

CTF is awful for TF2

the euros could prolly use more practice and real maps then they might beat us :)

staledI've seen Turbine in euroland games and it looks quite good and action packed. Even though it isn't a traditional ctf map that would be found in quake, it still seems like a good map. Is there an reason why it isn't played in ESEA?

it used to be in a few seasons ago, but like most maps that aren't the run of the mill (badlands,granary) etc it just got voted out and people kind of just forgot about it. plus turbine is played in highlander which i think is much more suitable than 6v6, CTF is good in games like quake but it doesn't really make for intense games in tf2 IMO, camping intel rooms is like banging your head against the wall

I'm open to suggestions for new maps in pugna but I think most people are happy with the rotation we have now.

Because ctf is nothing without bunnyhopping or some other form of moving faster than normal.

if there were a way to change the rules of CTF in TF2 so that in order to cap your team's flag needed to be returned and were able to touch-return the flag.

from my understanding there's no way to have touch return without a server plugin

this map is not gonna work well with 6s, it has some good architecture but the structure and pseudo-CTF gamemode are "pretty bad" for tf2's push/hold mechanics.

ctf_haunt/vitalism does the former through blocking the cap area at mid with a door. The second is possible, a few maps have done it. Pretty sure it's the output OnTouchSameTeam, but I don't know how to get it to work. I'm going to decompile one of those maps and check the flag properties and I'll post how it's done here.

It's an input to the flag. Also, the cap crits are turned off somehow.

Why don't more maps do this?
