    This game type is to be played on Last resort.
    Instructions for making map:

    Play one flag CTF
    -Take the flage and put it inside an open container with the open side facing up
    -put the container in the middle of the map
    -put a crate next to the container so people can jump in side of it
    -remove all grav lifts except
    -put remaining grav lift where the invisibility is
    -Disable grenades
    The point of this game is to have the two opposing teams fight over the flag as well as the only grav lift. Once some one is in side the container they cant jump out the only way out is if a teammate bring the grave lift inside to help you out.

    So you play in forge? How else can you pick up the gravlift?

    I think he meant the equipment one that you can deploy where ever.

    He is giving dirrections on how to make the map and then how to play once you've loaded it up in customs.

    This actually is a novel idea. It would make for some insane last moments ditches when the poor guy who has the flag is getting spammed/mauled with frags and the sort. Perhaps toss in a single bubble shield that can be used to protect the flag guy in the box? It'd be another good thing to fight over.

    Question: what about spawning? How would you place the spawns so that each team has an equal chance to get the flag (and the equipment)? Overall, this is a great idea. I look forward to it being developed!

    creative idea, you would just need the grav lift to instantly respawn

    *gasp* lance did not write in green...

    This idea sounds really good, I would like to play it.

    Why Last Resort though?

    Sounds like a pretty good idea. Try making it and see how it turns out.

    this actually has a lot of potential, it puts more objective into CTF or whatever you use with it.

    It sounds pretty interesting.the only thing is is whether or not you cant get out of the flag area and live. cause all you have to do is wait outside for the people to go get them and there would also be alot of dead people that go in that hole and if the grav lift gets wasted, your stuck till it spawns again.

    What you could do to fix this is make a variant where everyone can get out of the flag area by jumping normally (lower gravity) but when someone picks up the flag they cant get out of the box because the gravity is normal. So the inital gravity is actually higher than normal

    Sounds interesting, maybe you could put a sideways shield door (What do you mean you don't know how?!) to protect the flag holder. Anyway, couldn't he just jump up and throw the flag out of the container?

    The original post was on December 3rd. There was no Rat's Nest, and thus Last Resort was the only map with open containers.

    The problem with this idea is that don't grav lifts boost objects into the air too? A container might be too heavy, but couldn't someone drop the grav lift on the container and the whole thing gets blown away?

    You could do it on Foundry with open boxes.

    Nope, containers don't blow away from grav lifts, too heavy.

    This is an interesting concept. It sounds like it would be fun but I believe much work would need to be done to it in order to keep players interested throughout the game.
