--------------------Play Information-----------------------
Siege Mentality Reloaded - BETA 1 - Standard CTF.
Grab the enemy flag from their basement and capture it on the battlements of your base for 10 frags and 10 team points.
--------------------Changes Since Last Release-------------
There has been a great deal of changes, I'll try to run over the main ones. For a start, the front door, water entrance, ramp room, secondary rr passage, respawns and basement/fr in each base have all been totally remade.
I've given each change a great deal of thought, and I hope to have created a fun and quite varied map which is easy to learn.
There are a lot of cool ramp slides and special tricks you can perform. I'll just leave it at that.
--------------------Notes and Known Bugs-------------------
There is no current buglist, I shall add bugs as they are discovered.
I am looking to achieve a well-balanced map that encourages four nicely layered defenders. The top lift is now defendable, the respawns are in such a place that killed defenders are away from their position for a decent amount of time and there are various other things I've done.
Any suggestions for further alterations and gameplay considerations are encouraged. Please mail me!
