Maps

After playing memnite with other people, it became clear that with low player counts, the action is very spread out. So we decided to split it into two maps: one map with only the Tower Ring and another map with the Cave Ring. We then turned it into the night for these two maps.

The Ring Control gameplay is different from any other map you've played, except memnite, but it's still fairly simple. Red and Blue fight for contorl of the Ring, while Yellow snipes everyone. Red and Blue can use jump pads to jump up high and through the ring. Flying through the air like this is where the sniping is a lot of fun.

Memnate is the Tower Ring from memnite_r. The snipers spawn inside the tower and then they can teleport up to windows so they can snipe the Red and Blue players. All the action takes place in a huge, wide-open, outdoor area with a few things to take cover behind.

Anyway, download it and have fun.

Memnite was the first map we ever released for TFC. We thought it was pretty good at the time, but lately we realized that we should re-work and refine the map a little bit. So, that's why we decided to make memnite_r, which means it's the revised version. And we definitely did just that. We fixed and changed many things to be better. The respawns are no longer some goofy rooms, the textures look better...even the rings look better. This revised version is just an overall better map than the original, in our opinion.

The sparking idea for the map was seeing a picture of some "skeeball" type map, and that's what gave us the inspiration to make a map where you have to "go through" something. Memnite was probably what started our trend for making really big maps -- probably too big, but whatever.

The gameplay is fairly simple: Blue and Red fight for control of rings while Yellow snipes everyone. Sniping in this map is definitely a lot of fun as you kill the Blue and Red players flying through the air. And trying to cap the rings is a lot of fun because of the flying. Basically, the flying-through-the-air part is where the map is a lot of fun.

Enough talk, check it out for yourself.

Memnute is the Cave Ring from memnite_r. The snipers spawn inside the tower from memnate and then they can teleport up to windows in the Cave of Memnute. From the windows, they can snipe the Red and Blue players. All the action takes place in a huge, wide-open, cave area with a big rocks to take cover behind.

Go ahead and download it to start the fun.
