Wiretap (CTF) - Games - Facepunch Forum

[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/586461/Wiretap/wiretap_promo_final.png[/img] Wiretap is a contest entrant for TF2Maps.net's Competitive CTF contest, but don't let it fool you into thinking it's strictly a 6v6 map. To be honest, I hated mapping for the "competitive" audience. But more on that later. Wiretap was developed over five months, with its first Alpha release on January 22nd, 2010. The promo above is for its Beta release, which came out quite recently on May 6th 2010. Only now have I been able to... spread the love, per se. Oh well, on to the eye candy.

He's also been on the Swamp Theme Team since the Expansion. But hey, there's more than just screenshots. What about a download link? Sure, why not.

I know Facepunch is good at that. Maybe throw it on the FP servers or if you know someone that owns a server or two, throw it on there! I could use the feedback! If you want to take a step back in time, here's a video showcasing the early-alpha version of Wiretap, and the first use of the custom intelligence. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdX0uV158rY[/media] For now, that's all. Beta 1 isn't even the beginning of what this will develop into in the future. So much was left out of Beta 1 to make the contest deadline. So look forward to whats to come!

Sexy.

I like it.

Looks really cool. I love the concept with the new intel.

That's very nice. It seems like there are a few bare walls that could use some dirt or something. :P Does the intelligence have a trail like in normal CTF? Or was that taken out for a gameplay reason?

It has a color trail, and emits a custom particle - team-colored soundwaves.

It's a shame that there's only two FP servers really. One Valve maps only, and one an Unsrs server. :V

The unsrs server closed down? And there is the custom map server.

Want as official map. :flashfap:

[QUOTE=Price_;21856608]Want as official map. :flashfap:[/QUOTE] It most likely will be if the owner consents

[QUOTE=SpudOfWar;21853196]The unsrs server closed down? And there is the custom map server.[/QUOTE] A. Unsrs was revived again, check the Games in Progress forum. B. Custom map one died.

I approve fully. Though it made me think of scavage in a way from l4d2, several different tapes laying around, you have to protect all of them while trying to get the other teams, whoever has the most by the time up limit wins. Or at least that's what it sounded like from the promo

Since when did you have a community weapon?

I feel the RED base is too industrial. I mean BLU is usually really industrial while RED always had this rural feel to it's outside construction. Other than that this map is really nice.

Looks good. I like the bases. Quite diffirent from what you usually see. Good luck with the contest. I'm not just a big fan of the orange lightning. It's not bad per say, but it's something wrong with me. I hate sun sets.. :v:

Submit this shit.

Submit to Valve -> hopefully get it included with Engineer update.

[b]Bravo[/b] :golfclap:

way to ninja in the textures in like 2 days of my last check. [editline]06:16PM[/editline] And stop asking for contributions its too fun to be made official.

[QUOTE=Keychain;21862032]Submit this shit.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=robowurmz;21863064]Submit to Valve -> hopefully get it included with Engineer update.[/QUOTE] 1. Valve buys maps months ahead of the update. 2. You don't "Submit" your map, contribute is not for maps.

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;21864823]1. Valve buys maps months ahead of the update. 2. You don't "Submit" your map, contribute is not for maps.[/QUOTE] Thank you. Someone who is not a jackshit idiot. Yes, of course it'll get included in an update that's clearly already planned. Also, I thought the map was mediocre at best.

[QUOTE=Mamok Zalku;21861689]I feel the RED base is too industrial. I mean BLU is usually really industrial while RED always had this rural feel to it's outside construction. Other than that this map is really nice.[/QUOTE] Think of it like Hydro scheme. Both sides are the same for both teams.

Looks very clean and detailed, but for some reason the outside looks empty and less detailed than the rest. Maybe bushes or grass or something? Tire tracks perhaps?

i bet that,like the swamp themed maps,nobody will play it it's sad though,swamp themed maps look awesome!

I played the early stages of this map on tf2maps, its pretty good but its really easy to defend from what I saw.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;21861111]Since when did you have a community weapon?[/QUOTE] Swamp Theme and its Expansion

Since when did I have a Community weapon? :smug:

The description makes it seem like it's more of a "grab intel cases scattered around the place" than standard CTF. I was disappointed :(

Nicely done Void [editline]10:18AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Smashman;21872382]Since when did I have a Community weapon? :smug:[/QUOTE] since when was this thread about you and your weapons

[QUOTE=Jimbomcb;21873346]Nicely done Void [editline]10:18AM[/editline] since when was this thread about you and your weapons[/QUOTE] Since I was exceedingly smug. But anyway, I really like the custom model. Who did it?
