I miss gas Kaboom too :( All the nubs running our intel to their base... ahh, good times.

HE POSTS AGAIN! We must play this map now!

In case anyone didn't know, it's on the server now :)

Cool map.

[Map Update] ctf_mercy_b2

CTF_Mercy has been updated to beta 2.

B2 CHANGES/FIXES:
-Flag return timer increased to 20 seconds
-Spawn timers slightly increased, still shorter than stock
-Flag podium can no longer be built on directly, it has taken damage and is unsafe for building. Sign added to indicate this.
-Flagroom flank window made more accessible with an additional branch for attackers on the bottom base route.
-More optimization

[Map Update] ctf_mercy_b3

CTF_Mercy has been updated to beta 3.

B3 CHANGES/FIXES:
-NEW FEATURE: Mercy rule. When a team is ahead by 5 or more caps, the enemy flag gets disabled for 30 seconds after capture. This should ease some competitive games that are complete blowouts typical to CTF
-Mercy rule will not affect close games or publics limited to 3 captures
-Long horizontal sightline across the middle health pack removed by rotating the doors on this building. Also frees up room around that building by removing the cinder blocks.
-Skybox tree color darkened
-The route below the base is much more roomy now
-Below base route entrance extended slightly into the middle
-Flagroom entrance from spawn is much larger now, prevents some spam
-Can no longer have dispensers provide ammo through the wall behind the flagroom
-Flagroom window clipping tweaked to make passing the flag through harder
-Flag podium rubble visuals improved greatly
-Flag location on podium moved back some to get it further away from the main door
-Flag podium now has a railing on the end
-Further optimization

B4 CHANGES/FIXES:
-Skybox changes, added a large moon
-The area in the back of each base has been increased in size
-Better detailing in the base areas

I think we still have B2 on the server >.<

I know we played on this map yesterday, and my team was getting steamrolled. :|

We have b3 not b2 :P

But I'll get b4 up this weekend.

Edit: Its up and on the rotation

I like the fast pace of this map.

[Map Update] ctf_mercy_b5

CTF_Mercy has been updated to beta 5. This small but important update adds a new feature to the map: security doors (described under changes/fixes).

B5 CHANGES/FIXES:
-Added security doors with sound/visual sirens
-These doors close for 10 seconds for the enemy when you capture their flag, preventing chain captures

Oooohh, we need this version on the server.

indeed, as when we played the other night, the opposing team got 3 caps in a row.

I think even with the doors it should still be a nice fast map. Looking forward to playing b5. Is it on the server yet?
