It's really nice to see trying something fresh. The map works nicely whit some of those deemers. A short way to the enemy flag, and a longer one around the pumpkin or an extremely long one if you use another path. The maps looks are meh. We can all see that that's a halloweenish pumpkin. But the face you carved into your sphere looks kinda dumb. My suggestion would have been to make it look more evil, and have a bright yellow light inside which casts rays of light to the outside. The texture mapping of it sucks. I know it's hard to make proper texture mapping but you should have at least rotate it and align to floor on the sides of the pumpkin. The top has an UNREAL plant. This made me lol in a positive way. Sure it looks dumb but it's exactly the amount of dumbness that makes me lol. The whole map makes me lol in fact. Look at that face

I was also expecting some halloweenish music to go with it.

Random rants:
• Lights are a bit bright, it could use a bit more contrast, too much zonelight.
• The boxes are black in multiplayer. This bug looks horribly wrong.
• The balls have bNetPlay set to false which makes them not to appear in multiplayer.
• Bots suck at this map, I don't care but I'm pointing this out before someone else does. (I didn't check the screenshot, I don't care about that either, unless it's my map )
• The map doesn't have CTF specified as default gameplay.
• Overall poor visuals.

Awesome stuff:
• What, the whole platform is moving on a rail? Sweet
• Redeemers in hard to reach places. ALL HAIL THE TRANSLOCATOR. (and those who can properly use it)
• It's a halloween map. If my hand had only 1 thumb I could still count how many mappers made a haloween map this year. (and maybe whit last year combined too)
• The gameplay works well online. (as long as there are enough players (maybe not enough ammo?))
• PUMPKINz!!!

Offtopic:
How's your other map doing? Did you finish it? http://www.ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t ... 968#p24968

Eat that!

And here you go a proper screenshot which shows how much the red team sucks... we went for the deemers and cool stuff and the blues just did easy trips on the nearest path from one base to the other. Maybe this should be balanced out a bit... :/
