Reflection 2!

 

He wants to know what you guys think about these ideas. Ill just repost the message I recieved.

 

 

 

Wow, I didn't think there would be so much interest in a remake of Reflection :P
There are some really nice ideas though.

Here are some of the best, imo:
-Opening up the area beneath the keg of health, increasing gameflow and offering an alternate

route.
*This will also require me to increase the size of that small passage , but that wont be a

problem.

-Replacing Helmet by Thighpads

-Adding Shield pickup beneath the keg of health

-Open up the keg of health area, increasing gameflow.

------------------------------
And here are some of my own ideas:
-Close down the side entrances at top level, forcing the players to go through the center.

-Remove the big plant at the top level, increasing gameflow [i personally hate that plant, it

always gets in the way] and allowing the player to jump down 1 level through a hole on that

spot.

-I was also thinking of adding an alternate 1-way route into the bases. The best way to

explain: The red base has got these air vents on the floor, in the middle of the base. By

making those work as sliding doors/gates which only open from beneath, an elevator can be used

to get the player into the base.
The player then will also be able to use the momentum of the elevator to its advantage to get

to the higher middle section of the base, from where he can go to the flag. Or the player can

try to get to the flag in one jump.
This air vent passage will be accessable from the new area beneath the keg of health.
Adding several peeping holes [matching the looks of the air vents] will allow people to see

where the flag carrier is.

-Another thing i want to fix is the flag camping in the spawn areas. My idea is to raise those

areas, or lower them, and narrowing them, so the flag carrier cant hide there.
What do the guys think about this?

-Another idea I had was this: adding some sort of balcony over the flak/rocket launcher to

provide another route. This balcony will be accessable via the top level base side entrances.

-Perhaps it would be a good idea to close down the main lower entrance to the base forcing the

players around the sides or top level. Not sure about this, I'd like to know what the guys

think about this.

------------------------------
Some things I won't do:
-Change the theme to necris: this simply is way too much work.
-Open up the top level bridge where the Helmet is positioned, as this little bridge forces the

player to remain on that path, which is shorter, but more dangerous.

------------------------------
About the name:
I think CTF-Reflection2 is the best imo. However I also like CTF-Reflective. I'd like to know

the opinion of the forum guys about this.


------------------------------
I also gotta say i like the idea of turning Kargo into a CTF map, by removing the tank area and

opening up some areas. Perhaps I will some day have a look at this.

Btw: perhaps its a good idea you start up a topic like this, here at the forums, for even more
