good day fellow chaotic gamers, and welcome back to 1996. Anyone that's played the classic shooter on the 64 will instantly recognize this level.
The map has been in a playable state for a while now, but I didn't know what to do with it. Originally I thought arena would be the best game mode for the map, to recapture that nostalgic feeling of hunting down your foes, but the map is not symmetrical, and I don't know of any other non-symmetrical arena maps.
I then decided to make it KOTH since koth is arena's cooler brother (though I personally LOVE arena). I also added a new area to the map, spawn rooms, and tried to make the map more symmetrical. This is the finished result
Spawn room
Behind red's spawn
Behind red's spawn - leading to control point
Control point
Hallway outside of control point
Unexplainable area 1
Behind blu's spawn
Behind blu's spawn - leading to control point
Main hall above control point
Unexplainable area 2
Ceiling outside of red's spawn
While the map is not technically perfectly symmetrical, the map can still be split in two and be resembled in a symmetric like fashion (ie. on each side there's one giant room behind spawn, two rooms behind the main room, and one underground path leading to the point).
From all the feedback I've gathered before, I've heard one of two things. People either love or hate the map. And yes, all the people that loved the map were people that played Goldeneye. Those that hated it never played the game, and stated that it didn't really feel like it belonged in Tf2.
To make a long story short, I'm curious to know what you guys think about the map, as I've been thinking that perhaps its best left as a deathmatch map. I've had alot of cool ideas for the map though. Like in arena mode I thought it would be cool if rooms started closing off one by one, forcing opponents to eventually fight for the point and killing anyone trapped in a closed off room (like booby traps). Or perhaps I should use the expanded version of the map and implement an oldschool gamemode like hold the flag or koth, except the point moves around?
What do you guys think? And sorry to make such a long post.
Here are the download links

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you upload the map to a linux server, make sure you rename the map to all lowercases. Apparently linux does not like capital letters and may crash the server
