.::  Map Description  ::.

It happens to all mappers, and I am no exception. Some call it "mapper's block." Some call it a lack of inspiration. Whatever it's called, it's evil. And rather than let this evil consume my active projects, I set them aside and jump started this new Op4CTF map. After a mere 4 days of building and tweaking, I have not only created a small (but hopefully still enjoyable) map, but also rekindled the inspiration I need moving into the summer. Yay.

Spore placement can make the central arena or flag rooms a veritable deathtrap. It's all in the wrist. Or, rather, the shot that triggers the spore. I'm sorry, I'm not funny. I'll just stop typing now and get onto the thanks and technical info...
