This is a sniping map for TFC. It was started after seeing the Brooklyn Bridge and thinkin' it would be cool to make really big bridge in a map. And then, I was watchin' Last of the Mohicans and heard the waterfall later on in that movie, and thought it would be cool to use that waterfall sound for a waterfall in a map. So, that's what this map is...a bridge and two waterfalls. It is a big map with high r_speeds, lots of steaming waterfall sprites, and really loud waterfall sounds. All of that makes the map have a really good feel to it. Anyway, stop reading this boring stuff and go play the map. As I mentioned, this map has high r_speeds, so don't try playing this on a slow machine.

A small dueling map that was made for a mapping contest for The Specialists. We didn't release this map for awhile cause we basically forgot about it. The map is pretty cool to play on with a handful of people -- so, it doesn't have to be a dueling map. There's some entity that exists in The Specialists, but isn't fully implemented yet so this map is just meant for about 6 - 10 people to run around and deathmatch it up.

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.
