VIDAR'S NIFLHEIM 2 - Capture The Flag
Half-Life TFC 2Fort style map

Vidar - Norse God of Vengence
Niflheim - Region of Ice and Cold

By: Neil Manke

Vidar2 is a remake of my original Vidar's Niflheim TF map. Many
gamer's suggestions were taken into account but the primary
changes had to do with improving the defendability of the flags.

Some screenshots:

Sniping
Demolition
Engineering
More Engineering
Attic Solly
Back Door
Overhead

Objective: Enter the enemy Fortress and make
your way to where their Flag resides in the
Tower. Grab it and bring it back to the base
of your Tower. Place it on the raised square
to Capture it. The flag will then return to
the enemy Base.

Scoring: 10 points per Capture.

Notes:
-Flag carriers drop the Flag when they die.
Dropped Flags return to their Base after 65
seconds.
-The ice tunnel under the glacier requires a
detpack to clear. Another detpack explosion
can re-seal it.


Quote:
"It is visually stunning, and
the sound effects actually make me cold! It is big enough that a lot of people can
play, but I actually like it more when only a few people play. Then it feels empty,
and quiet - TOO quiet. You\'re sneaking around trying to stay unnoticed, but that
damn flag is so exposed. All you hear is the crackling of ice and your own light
footsteps and then .... BAM!! Out jumps the nme and he just about scares you into
soiling your shorts. CRASH BOOM BANG, the nme\'s dead, you have the flag and it\'s
quiet again, but you only have 7 health and its a long way back to your base...."


You can get the map here: Vidars2.zip

Vidars2 is Map of the Month as voted on by all of you!

On a side note. .
When asked what new map Villuns would like to see in rotation at The 'Ville, this is what you said: Zen Garden Poll

I'd say that Vidars2 would be a great addition to any 'Ville server.


Thank you all for voting Polls are now open again! Let your voice be heard.

Cast your vote for POTM and MOTM at the Zen Garden! (click my sig to be magically whisked away)

Absolutely great choice guys. I can see we have some pretty good taste around here. How about this rotation for TV1?

Avanti
Acropolis2
Palermo
Vidars2

The two best attack/defend maps rotating with two fabulous capture the flag maps. I have always wanted to play Palermo and Vidars2 with a lot of people, but whenever they come on to a server there isn't anyone there since no one has the map. This is a problem with custom maps, but after the extreme success of Acropolis2, I bet Palermo and Vidars2 could do it also if everyone here downloaded the map.

Would it be possible to create a Ville map pack so that people could just download one thing and then be able to play all the maps in the rotation? I think this would make the maps more available. The more people who have the map, the better the opportunity for us to play it.

I did put Vidars2 and Palermo into Munk's server map pack.


However, since it became TV3, it took over that rotation. Incidentally, Palermo lost the MOTM vote by 1 nomination! A great map as well.

[quote="Kjeldorian Royal Guard"]I did put Vidars2 and Palermo into Munk's server map pack.quote]

You mean the maps that you can download in game? I was actually referring to a package of maps that people could download from the website as one download and get all the good maps. This way people wouldn't have to download a new file every time a map that they don't have comes into rotation. It could include all the cool custom maps that we run at The Ville.

For example a pack with: Acropolis2, Vidars2, Palermo, Osaka, and maybe one or two more.

This would make it easier for people to get the maps we want them to have. Then if you can convince everyone to download the pack we might be able to fill up a server running those custom maps.
