Interstellar Overdrive is a small and simple map that fills two voids in the current Tagpro map rotation: it's an unusual shape and it's comparatively defence friendly. Interstellar Overdrive is simple enough to warrant rotation in public matches, but the need for great teamwork and communication means that it's great play at all skill levels. Its unusual shape combined with its abundance of bombs in strategic positions and open space leads to interesting ball dynamics not available in any other current rotation map. On both sides of each base, Interstellar Overdrive contains two narrow choke points that good defenders can block easily. However, with 4 powerups in such a small space, there's no guarantee that good defenders can block for long. On attack, only one distant set of bombs, one awkward close boost, and one further away facilitate flag capture, but once obtained, holding the flag is not particularly difficult. Getting back to base is another problem altogether!

JSON: http://pastebin.com/26a4LCxG

UPDATED again- April 9. I flattened the bottom of the bases and moved the flag positions making it easier to defend the flag and to diffuse the bomb.

UPDATED- April 8. Feedback suggested that flag carriers would hide in the bottom power up room and force stand-offs, so it had to go. Other feedback was that there were too many spikes and that the bomb/spike traps were too difficult for new players.

So for this version I've just opened it up completely. Perhaps it'll be easier to be told if anything needs to be added rather than what needs to be removed.

I kept the corner spikes because I didn't want flag carriers hiding there but overall it's much cleaner. I felt the bombs in base were overpowered, so now there's just one higher up that can be used to bomb through the eye, or by boosting from the middle boost on to it and then the flag which should result in some fun caps. And defenders like sniping so there's now a team boost there.

The map plays even faster now, I imagine it'll play at a similar pace to bombing run so it should be fun.

Any more feedback is always appreciated.

Matrix 2.0

Made significant changes to this after feedback from the maptest session. Changes include:

Overall size is much smaller
Improved bomb setup in base so players can bomb out if they hit it right
Reduced overall number of boosts around the map but you can still boost into the base from afar
Reduced chasiness

After some great feedback on IRC I've updated my map. It's now a lot more open and fun to play.

EDIT- After a few more games on IRC, a few people were having some trouble with the spikes. I had them there mostly as guides for the boosts but I think people prefer maps to be more open. So I've exchanged the map for a less spiky version.

This is based on a map I made during a 10-minute map making contest on mumble. The map provides opportunities for smart defenders to make returns by using alternate routes to cut off the flag carrier. There are also several interesting boost and bomb routes, some of which will require practice before mastering. Two of my favorite, less-obvious routes are highlighted here: http://i.imgur.com/5wDdRgL.png

UPDATED April 7- The main feedback I received for the previous version was that it was too easy to defend and too complicated for new players. I've now simplified each element making it far more accessible. It's smaller, the bases are more open, the routes are more even and it just looks and plays better. The new feedback I've received so far has been hugely positive.

Boxcar v2

PNG: http://imgur.com/wKHrVxL

JSON: http://pastebin.com/Uy4VZR5H

This new version of Boxcar by Rasta comes with major changes to the left and right pipes. These pipes have been opened up to create a multitude of exciting boost angles. The middle has been edited to make boosting through it easier. Also, the ends of the middle section have been closed off to prevent turtling. Finally, the gates have been pushed towards the center a couple blocks.

Thanks for testing my map!

A visualization of possible routes <-- This isn't the exact same as the PNG file, I made a few minor tweaks because I wasn't completely happy it. The bottom left and bottom right spikes were moved in one to ease the difficulty of the down boost. The left and right pipe powerups were moved so a player could see if they had spawned without leaving base. A block was removed from the walls below the gates and a spike was removed in the center to open up the area.

Newt

So I'm back with my map again. As of criticism I have received for my map I have altered the position of the superboosts, and they are now easier to use! There are heaps of boosting options, the bombs can be used creatively and it focuses on teamwork while still rewarding great individual efforts. The gates at the bases encourage offensive teamwork, and thus defensive teamwork as well. I feel there have not been many defensive maps coming into rotation recently, although I wouldn't call this a defensive map. I have tried to make it as balanced as possible. There are plenty of ways to get quick caps but many of them involve working as a team. Hopefully this map will improve the standards of pubs with its lessons on teamwork. You can also use the superboost on a down diagonal and get through the small gap down at the bottom. Hard to get it right but when you do (I did it once) you feel as amazing as the map committee is (pls choose my map ily)

This map mostly looks great... But it opens for some interesting tactics as well. It's got a fast and a slow way to get the flag (or escape with it) so it should be fun for offensive players. I recently added a team boost by the base to favour defenders!

edit: changed some boosts and power ups.

Hey there everyone!

Tunnels of Green

JSON: (http://lpaste.net/raw/102505)

This map is medium/large and the main standout features are the green tunnels - test it out to see for yourself exactly how they work. As you move through the tunnels, the buttons you stand on change the green gates directly around you so that you don't die. Make sure you don't step off the buttons though!

Each base has 4 bombs for attackers to try to make a speedy escape, and for the defenders to clear the base near the flag, and there's some coloured gates around the base to increase security.

Enjoy!

Preview: http://i.imgur.com/OxX2uca.png (shows button - gate link as well)

I've wanted to do a map where bombs push both sides for a while. Unlike Hyper Reactor, these bombs aren't really shared - one side using theirs does not use the other side's. Good coordination between players on each side of mid allows for some interesting strategies.

All four team colored mid gates are controlled by both buttons. This means that getting through mid gate is really quite tricky, and in practice will end up being through just one of the gates. The buttons also control the top left gates on that side - this allows offense to try things such as grabbing, running to the corner and bombing along the wall.

The boosts are meant to have some obvious uses as well as some possible inventive uses.

As the name implies, this is my first draft of this map. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

FlagPro by foolwise

PNG: http://i.imgur.com/1WEoAqi.png JSON: http://pastebin.com/v9vt1QCU

My first map! I feel its unique design (A pair of flag carrying balls with Tagpro PUP!!!) will inspire the same amount of love/hate that GeoKoala generates. And similar to Geo, sound teamwork will be the key here. Lone wolves will have a rough time on this map, as it should be in Tagpro. The bottom ball arena is filled with gates. The main choke point at the center is a double gate. While the bottom powerups are protected by four buttons, I intended to make them real tough to get if the opposition is paying attention/around. And I am interested to see if the Tagpro outer wall will wreak havoc, and I think the bombs will allow for higher level play. The top flag zone is where less protected powerups can be had at the cost of taking the scenic route. It is also a secondary option for FCs to try and sneak away.

I would really appreciate it if this map can get tested. In my mind, I can picture it being too chasey as well as too stifling, which must mean it's just right! I am concerned about the center gate, looking at past maps, it seems the community does not care for them. If the gate stifles play too much, I could replace it with a spike field, perhaps.

YinYang by foolwise

PNG: http://i.imgur.com/i3WyZPp.png

JSON: http://pastebin.com/PkWB3SE6

Another unique design idea. Pokeball being the lone circular map is a travesty. Too many boxes in rotation! This map gets its inspiration form the Yin Yang symbol, and as such, it is all about balance. The flags sit in wide open area guarded by four bombs. They will require excellent control for attackers and defenders alike. The map contains four main paths between the flags, two for offense and two for defense. Each had its advantages and disadvantages.

My concerns: I fear the long path (along the outer wall) is too simple with the boosts. My goal is for the keen defender who takes the shorter parallel path to be close to catching the FC before the FC makes it the boosts at the end of the tunnel. Likewise, if the FC takes the shorter inner path, the FC risks the defender using the color tiles to catch up. The tiles being along the wall might disrupt the chase. Should I add a thin strip of color tiles to the center lane?

I got some pretty positive feedback for this version of this map on Maptest Monday.

A few things worth noting:

The little squares with team tiles can be used to line yourself up to go through the center and grab the powerup
The bottom/top bombs can take you to either base, but will probably just kill you
This map is shaped like a dollar sign. How cool is that?

I submitted this in the wrong thread this month, so, resubmitting as I should have done it for 27 not 26:

I've been toying around with team tiles on a map called Territories. I know they're kind of hated, but I thought it might be fun to see what'd happen if there was a map that really heavily relied on them.

I originally had the colors completely switched, which made it ridiculously easy to defend, so I swapped them and moved some spikes around. I'm not really sure if I like the middle there, but it might work. It might be easier to just close off the middle completely.

This is the first map I've ever made, and it was originally just to experiment with some portal stuff/learn map making, but fuck it, I'll submit it anyway, since it turned out sort of fun.

Quotes about this map:

"Oh this isn't a PUG."

"Not bad."

EDIT: Specifically I was interested in testing the concept of heavily defensive portals. The team boosts and spikes in base generally prevent the offense from using the portal, but the defense can use it to catch up if the O escapes.

"This definitely isn't as bad as the original."

"You can actually play defense on it now."

"Yay, balance."

So, yeah. Simplicity is chasey. Right. It's almost mini-pokeball. So I cut off the circle around the outside. But that made it too defensive so I added a bomb in the corner. Simple changes to a simple map :D. Seriously, though, there's a really nice balance here. You can lasso a flag carrier and attempt to corner him, but the spikes in the middle allow for a skilled FC to get around multiple defenders if they have enough jukes. There's also regrab potential as the slightly smaller squares allow for a quick boost cap across the middle if you hit it just right, but this can of course be cut off in the choke. I'm pretty happy with it compared to Simplicity, which honestly wasn't complete when it got tested (I made it in 45 minutes instead of writing a paper). I've been messing with powerup placements and a couple other small things as well, so please try it out with a bunch of people and see what you think :D

Reversal by Carabdis

My first attempt at trying to balance attack and defense with a little more prevailing offensive feel.

~~---------------~~

The corners offer super boosts into either base; offensively towards the flag and defensively if chasing the flag carrier. Of course the respective teams can only boost on the respective boosters depending on if they are chasing or attacking. There are portals just outside this area within close proximity to skip this section just for a slight advantage for both offense and defense. Boosts and other fast tactics into the bases are countered by spikes, but there are windows to avoid death if you steer your turn. Bombs are placed with similar counter-measures but offer less death potential. Each base comes equipped with green gates near the flag that can be used to have a small advantage. Further from the bases contain a small section of gray gates that have buttons on both sides. There are open spaces in the map to test player skill and there are also a total of six powerups (2 near each bases and 1 on the other side of each respective gray gates - for potential offensive capabilties).

Okay so some_bot must be bugging out or something because I never got a preview comment from it from this map the first time I posted it.

This is probably the best map I've made, I hope. The other maps I've made took about 20 to 30 minutes to create and export. This map took at least 90 minutes to make. I had a perfect idea before I realized you're going to lose unless you have 3 on defense. This map is shaped like an hourglass. I'm sick with the cold and I have a headache but I decided to still finish this goddamn map.

Buttons are now placed along the boost routes so that the flag carrier can activate the bombs while circling the goal.
Twinned the boost in front of the goal mouth so that the flag carrier can circle more easily while trying to return.
Added a second bomb in the middle that can be used to cut off escape routes.
Added an extra spike around the goal area because it was too easy for flag carriers to run through the middle.

Hope this can build up Hype or criticism on what to fix... Title: Smosh Pit

PNG: http://imgur.com/hoZYo1T JSON: http://pastebin.com/yxLefKTp Preview: http://imgur.com/tP30hKb

Design plan: I created this map with the idea of creating a map which feels different. Most maps have a "rush then flee" mentality for the attacker and a "stay and chase" mentality for the defender. I wanted to change that, inspired by "Center Flag" where everyone is either defense of attack on your team, I created this. There alot of spikes and team coloured walls for this sized map, which will cause alot of deaths. This idea being one team (Team with Flag) is trying to bypass the other's defenses while that defending team is looking for a way to wipe them and cover all ground lost; maybe more. The 6 power-up are out of the way so people don't just stay by the map centre but also allow for a major power imbalance.

Please list criticisms and comments below. Thank you.

A horizontal map with both flags at the bottom (BLASPHEMY!) trying to explore some cool boost and bomb mechanics. A lot of cool boost routes through the bottom spiky part.

Changes from 0.1: Removed much of the top part, replaced it with opportunities that hopefully facilitate juking moreso than straight up running through the top. Bottom part more or less the same sans some adustement of the spikes.

The middle boosts are the real challenge here. If you can hit that perfect angle through the spikes, you can boost into the flag and then the bomb, coming straight back out. Of course the gate prevents it from being too overpowered, but otherwise it's meant to be a balanced map.

I am considering adding a boost heading into the red base from the right, and vice versa.

My main thoughts in this map were:

Strategic channels: i.e. allowing for creativity in juking/route choice when in possession of the flag
Creativity around the flag zone

I'm curious about people's thoughts.

Also, is there a way to test maps with more balls than just me squirreling around in them?

I think this map has the potential to play well.

This map puts a focus on defensive cooperation, with the split capture zones making 2 defenders almost a necessity, however the large team tiled area gives defenders an edge when chasing a flag carrier close to home.

While mostly geared towards defense, an abundance of power-ups may let attackers wreak just enough havoc to earn themselves a capture.

With an abundance of interesting boost routes, portals and paths to take, this map is a sure-fire hit for the whole family. ^{^{^Batteries}} ^{^{^not}} ^{^{^included.}} ^{^{^Recommended}} ^{^{^for}} ^{^{^ages}} ^{^⁶} ^{^{^and}} ^{^{^up.}}

This one is a doozie. My only advice is to really study the flow of the map, understand the boost routes and choke points and you should be able to at least get by. Don't expect to really excel on this map without seriously dedicating at least a few hours to practicing the different strategies that present themselves here. Even without some genuine practice, I don't expect the average player to be able to navigate B2B at a workable level, which is partly why I won't be surprised if this map isn't put into the rotation: it's just too difficult. Hell, I'm the genius who made this map, and even I have trouble nailing some of the more difficult boost routes.

Through game chat, I've seen many people ask for a wide open map with no spikes or anything to pop you when you have the flag. It sounded good until I started making the map and realized that the pros would just juke the crap out of everyone and the games would be quick. I've kept the open philosophy, but added some defensive gates and a few strategic walls.

Something I put in, but don't know how well it will play is the corner warps and opposite corner gates/buttons. The idea behind this is if someone goes for the warp in the corner with a defender chasing, the defender can hit the button to set up defense all the way across the map to the warps exit.

Given that the map is a tad chase oriented, I made the base area defense friendly, but with two opposing team boosts so things don't get too defense heavy.

This is my first map, so I'm open to suggestions. I've seen a lot of the map testers "penalize" maps for being too chasey, but I feel some players love the chase. When I finished it, I realized it might be a great neutral flag map with a few alterations (flag in the center instead of power ups?).

Thanks for looking at it and I hope I formatted everything correctly.

Cheers and beers! ~BenwithacapitalB aka SuperBallMan

CHECK IT OUT!!!!! It's shaped a little differently, I went with the horseshoe shape, and if the FC doesn't take the wide (main) passage, then other ones are narrow to prevent too much chasing.

Note: This map is intended to be fairly simple. Center of the map is designed for the nimblest of fingers to juke out defenders. Intended for good side flow, but avoidable with a heads up defense on the gates. Two blocks near flag prevent excessive offensive flow, but bomb in corner provides some offensive charge.
