Zoid on the New CTF Maps -- 6:04 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

David "Zoid" Kirsch, id's CTF expert and author of the soon-to-be-released Threewave CTF for Q3A maps, posted on sCary's comments section (#31) with some information on the new maps:

q3wctf1 - Bloodlust
This map is loosely based on the original map "Spill the Blood" by midiguy. The bases and central area are similiar to that original map, but the inbetween areas are quite different. It's a loose remake of the original. I've never heard of this "Bloody Waste" map until a few days ago and it looked like a basic clone of the original Spill the Blood map. This new maps is Spill the Blood in spirit, but it's definitely a Quake3 map.

q3wctf2 - Courtyard Conundrum
This is an original map that features a large courtyard with the flag in the far corner. The map consists of two levels, where the upper level in the bases are excellent for defensive control. The map is a basic figure eight style and offers plenty of good chases.

q3wctf3 - Finnegan's Revenge
This map is the most complex out of the three. The bases are a central room with connecting cooridors on upper and lower sections. The bases are three levels, where as the routes between bases are two levels. This map has a lot of different ways to escape with the flag, but good players can also figure out where the flag carrier is going and take another route to cut him off. This map really fosters good rocket jumping skills as well.

I'm hoping to get the maps out very soon. I think you're all going to really enjoy playing on them.

We're hoping with you, Zoid. Despite the aweful signal-to-noise ratio, occasionally you get a juicy tidbit from those comments.
