    Base race is a map which is in Wolfenstein ET

    The main point of this map is to Steal Construction Materials from your enemy's base and secure them at the various 'Capture Pads' located in your team's base. Different capture pads correspond to different base constructions and upgrades,

    Constructions such as Ammo buildings, Special infantry upgrades etc.
    Upgrades such as MG towers, barbed wire, auto turrets and walls



    Map layout looks like this in Wolf ET

    Unbuilt base where you can see red upgrade spots and enemy team upgrade parts

    As far as I am concerned this is possible to do in Source.
    The map also had fun tunnels and a middle building you could cap


    And yes this is a Request thread :o

    Yeah, i've had something like this in the planning. We have a name for these type of maps in Unreal Tournament, Fort Sport. The whole massive amount of triggers involved has been keeping me away for now.

    Hmm, might be an interesting direction to take king 2, and it would allow me to use the two asymmetrical starting locations I had in mind.

    I've been wanting to do something different with it, but the lack of gamemode entities has limited my options.

    do it chris, that'd be really fun. you could have all sorts of bunkers and stuff to build.

    I picture when you steal some item from an enemy instillation, you set off a whole load of alarms and flashing lights.

    if only you could "steal" boxes which gave you research too.

    I was more thinking there would be some sort of system in which you can deduct resources to upgrade your starting base with defences and structures, as well as unlock tiers of research.

    But I can't think of any way to do it that isn't really hacky, I'd have to have a proper interface before I'd attempt it.

    It should set off alarms like in the TF2 Meet the Spy video.
