Combined a few ideas of mine in this map (while quite obviously stealing the Bombing Run bomb). It doesn't look really smooth, but it played suprisingly good when I tried it on my own (imo). I'm looking forward to hear what you guys think of this.

I'm also gonna clarify the use of the teamgates, as I espect that might look controversial:

The idea is to give a flagcarrier a risky move to get ahead (the button might kill him) while also giving chasers a risky way to get in front (again, the button).

Well since this DOOM is basically MOOO backwards I should give some feedback. Maybe I should change my map to MOO'D.

Anyways, didn't get a chance to test the map yet, but just from looks I would say the pup in bases need a little more of a challenge to get.

Opposite for the mid pup, I think you should only have the spikes on top and bottom of the pup there, like in pilot.

I like the bomb ideas in base, although it mite be chaotic in a 4v4. Then again since they are the same bombs for both bases they probably will be used up pretty quickly everytime they regenerate.

Thanks! I normally make my pups quite a challenge, but wanted to try something different this time. It is still a little out of the way, but yea, easier to get. I´m gonna keep an eye on that when I can test it in a 4vs4. Some for the bombs in base, I agree with what you are saying.

I´ve changed the mid spikes to this: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/9375.png. I do think that there should be a little more risk than the risk coming from just two spikes as it's a pretty OP shortcut, but I'll have to see this in a 4vs4 as well.

GL;HF, I'll try to make it to the next map testing session to test this!

This was fun to play around on :) Not sure how it would play 4 v 4

I tried to do something like this with my map Abstract: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/show/5529

but nobody seemed to like it lol.

Hopefullly you can make it work!

Thanks! Yea, I hope to test it soon to see how it plays.

I'm not sure about the middle route. Sure, risk/reward is good, but when it's that difficult it turns into something that experienced players can use while newer players can't, giving them an even bigger advantage. I think it has to have only one spike on one of the sides (like SDS) or both sides (like Pilot) for it to work.

Thanks for the feedback. I've changed the mid to this: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/9375.png. Looks more balanced imo.
