Avanti -

Objective: Blue team starts as the attacker. Red team starts as the defender. The attacking team starts at the bottom of the hill and must take control of the town by moving uphill and taking control of Command Points sequentially. The defending team simply tries to hold out as long as they can. Once the attackers succeed, teams swap, and play begins again.

Command Points are captured by taking the flag from the previous point and carrying it to the next. When a Command Point is secured, the flag required to capture the next Command Point appears on top of it. For example, the flag needed to capture Command Point 3 will always spawn at Command Point 2.

There is a wall of the Church that can be breached by applying enough damage to it. Stickies will work the best.

Dropped flags return after 15 seconds.

It plays similarly to other 5-point Control Point maps, such as Well, except that it places a stronger emphasis on teamwork to push the cart and coordination to flank the enemy. These alternate routes, although longer, usually provide health and ammo pickups not normally present on the main payload track.

Please provide feedback, whether it be bug reports or even small requests.

**Waste is currently part of the (^) Custom Rotation 208.115.116.51:27016**


Objective:
Escort the payload to the enemy base. Stand near the payload to make it move.

Other Notes:
Both teams can push the cart. The The payload moves faster as more teammates stand near it.

Your mission is to steal the enemy intelligence and hack there systems that will destroy there life pods and defenses and leave them stranded upon the asteroid to die.

Here are the basics of the map.

One random BASIC system of the enemy is disabled/removed.
One LIFE POD that is tied to the BASIC system is disabled and plummets off the map into the black hole, along with any passengers left inside.
A red indicator in front of the destroyed LIFE pod alerts players not to get close to the airlock. It will open normally but the vacuum will suck them out into space to die.
The CONTROL ROOM consoles go into READY status for the enemy to activate a ADVANCED system. Described in the ADVANCED systems.

Now the non-standard abilities of the map.
Each base has 5 features called the BASIC SYSTEMS. All five systems are active at the start of the game. Here is each system and what they do.

TRANSPORT:
Each LIFE POD has a transport that takes the player from the pod to the forward spawn. If not used, then there is a standard exit to the hallways. They are distinguished by the dual transportation pads. They can not be destroyed by damage. The FORWARD SPAWN holds the exits from the LIFE POD transports. It also has three additional TRANSPORTS that take the player to.
The left one takes the player to the SNIPER ROOST. This is the only non-player means to enter this area. Once the TRANSPORT is deactivated you must find another way to enter the SNIPER ROOST.
The middle TRANSPORT takes you to the just inside the exit of the FORWARD TUNNEL leading to the middle of the map.
The right TRANSPORT takes you into a drop out of a ventilation shaft inside the INTEL ROOM.

FORCE FIELD:
Several force fields prevent enemy travel through certain entrances. They also hinder movement in the intel room for enemy players. They are distinguished by the falling star curtain in the team's color scheme. Once the FORCE FIELDS are destroyed, the enemy will have many more pathways and easier access to the intel.

GRAV-CANNON:
This cannon can launch the team across the map towards the enemy base or deposit them on the roof of their own base. Based on whether you fight or move upwards in the same direction of the launch, you can adjust your speed and ending distance. Be warned the bore of the cannon can be used by the enemy to enter the base even after the cannon is non-functional. The launch ability is team specific.

LIFE SUPPORT:
Stationed around the base are small medi-packs mounted to the wall in a team specific holders. These medi-packs are team specific and can not be used by the enemy. The holders are distinguished by team colored triangular holders above and below the medi-pack. Once this system is destroy these medi-packs and holders vanish.

AMMO DEPO:
Stationed near the LIFE SUPPORT system, the base are small ammo-packs mounted to the wall in a team specific holders. These ammo-packs are team specific and can not be used by the enemy. The holders are distinguished by team colored triangular holders above and below the ammo-pack. Once this system is destroy these ammo-packs and holders vanish.

Now about the ADVANCED systems. All ADVANCED systems have a control console stationed inside the CONTROL ROOM. These systems are turned on by moving into the general vicinity one of these console. Any player of your team can do this. Above each console there is a status board. Here is what they mean:

OFFLINE: this system is not activated and can not be currently activated at its corresponding console. Only after the enemy captures one intel will this system ( and any other systems saying OFFLINE will go to READY status.:

READY: This system can be set to ARMED as soon as you touch the console. Once this system is armed all other console at READY status will be placed back to OFFLINE.

ARMED: This system has already be activated, in can no longer be modified and can not be re-activated. This state is permanent.

Now that the activation system has been defined, here are the three ADVANCED systems and what they do. ADVANCED systems are mean to be activated by the players. Only one system can be turned on per enemy capture of your intel. Unlike the BASIC system that can only be removed by a intel capture, an ADVANCED system is designed to be destructible by players.

OFFENSE: When this system is activated several sentries emerge out of the floor, wall, ledge. They are set at different levels of construction based on there locations. The sentries can run out of ammo, be damaged, destroyed and sapped. They can also be repaired, reloaded and upgraded. The areas where the sentries emerge can be distinguished by sentry picture with the corresponding team color.

DEFENSE: When this is activated several blast doors emerge from the walls and block travel by the enemy. Defenders of the base can still move and touch these doors and open them. These doors will close as you leave the vicinity of the door. Each door can be damaged and destroyed. They can take damage by ANY PLAYER. Once broken they are forever lost. Each door has 1000 hp, breaking them will not be easy. Each door makes noise as they break so be warned. Also they doors can not be damaged until they are activated. The areas where the blast doors emerge be distinguished by wall picture with the corresponding team color.

SUPPORT: When this system is activated several dispensers emerge out of the floor inside and outside the base. These dispensers act as normal dispensers. They can be damaged, but not sapped. They also can be repaired. The areas where the dispensers emerge can be distinguished by dispenser picture with the corresponding team color.

I have pretty much explains all major things of the map. With this information you could play the map with complete confidence. Remember this is a non-standard map, respect that and have fun.]]> Capture the Flag noauthor@nospam.com (Dustin Creager, Nasa, Hubble) Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:16:44 -0600 http://www.gravitybong.net/download.php?view.156 http://www.gravitybong.net/download.php?view.155 Author: Infectedfury
