Any one would like to create a Vehicle demolition derby map? - end user - 04-28-2013

I'm thinking of a demolition derby map not sure the game type either TDM or CTF where only speedsters are used with more armor so takes more damage but same weapons fire.

The map should be either figure 8 or some sort of flat square/rec/octagon arena.
If CTF maybe have both based on each side of the map with the arena seperating them forcing flag carriers to dodge speedsters/fire. Mabe give the players a couple of towers/buidlings so they can hide in the demolition arena? This will be for non hook game play to make it challenging.

For TDM maybe just a free for all area.

Also maybe a maze like map for spiders for TDM?

Also what would be the $$$ to pay someone to create one?

There would be a lot of problems with that. The two more important would be
First: You can't force players to use a vehicle.
Second: Vehicles take some time to respawn, if you base the map only in vehicles you will have problems when all of them are destroyed.

Paying someone to create a map its maybe not the best idea, maybe he won't make it as you imagine, and you won't pay for something like that in the end, and he will ask for his money and well, some drama will happen.

Also, if you draw some stuff it'd be easier to know what you imagine and maybe someone will give it a try.

you can force instant respawn by adding a cvar to the mapinfo

I'll get some drawings done and post on the weekend.
