This is a map I made for the Shell-Shocked challenge. I'm also posting it here because I designed it to be a playable map, and think its a pretty good CTF map in its own right. Download Version 1.2 Version History: 1.1: Fixed lag issue caused by fusion coils. 1.2: Fixed Fusion Coils flying out into the center of map, added pics of gameplay The History: 8/24/1814 is the date that British troops, under General Robert Ross, marched on Washington D.C with the intention of burning as much of it as possible. The only site of resistance was a house at the corner of Maryland Avenue, Constitution Avenue, and Second Street NE. This house was burned, and the soldiers moved on. The White House was their main target. When the warning reached the White House, the guests were just about to sit down to dinner. All guests were evacuated safely. Dolly Madison, instead of evacuating with the rest of the guests, stayed behind to rescue important documents, from her husband’s desk and assorted desks around his office. She also managed to save red velvet curtains found in the dining room. She managed to escape seconds before the British soldiers arrived. The soldiers found food set out on the table and the remaining courses in the kitchen. They ate what they found, and lit the White House on fire. The (Modified) Story: A squad of the First Lady’s bodyguards, after carrying out stacks of papers, missed her departure. Unaware that she was, in fact, safely away, they begin their fight to enter the burning White House and rescue any remaining staff and the Flag. They are operating out of a British supply dump that has been abandoned while the troops are looting the White House. The Union men find ammo for their revolvers and spare muskets. Thus armed, they begin their march on the White House. Gameplay: -:-:-:-Muskets: Shotguns -:-:-:-Revolvers: Magnums -:-:-:-Cutlasses: Energy Swords The gametype Burning of DC is required to play. It places a Flag in the correct position above the White House, and a CTF gametype makes competition fast paced and very bloody. There is a sniper on top of the White House, with few shots and a long respawn time, to simulate long range rifles. There is just the one, because equipment was being given to the Army from where it wasn't needed. The ammo dump spawns with a flamethrower and flame grenades, the torches troops were carrying to burn the city.

The White House Dining Room The Kitchen, complete with serving rack 1814's answer to the Oval Office Outer Offices View of the Exterior of the White House Lying in Wait I possess the Red Flag. I have seen the top of the Mountain! I regret nothing! Jumping down on unsuspecting Blues. That Flag is mine. No it isn't. You were saying? Flag Capture FTW
I put it into both places, seeing as I already had a post ready. Its still a fully playable map, so I saw no reason to not put it here.
Looks like a good entry for the shell-shocked competition. Nice job on linking together the history behind the event too. I'll have to compare your entry to the others out there. Good work though.
