Featuring: The Ultra-Sapper (Intel Replacement), by Rexy

A classic game mode --with a twist!
Hidden away behind an electric company front is a sprawling underground RED base. Control rooms direct remote operatives, and ominous devices are constructed in mysterious voids. Unwilling to live with the fact that RED has a fancy new machine, BLU develops a super-powered ultra-sapper and sets out to destroy RED's contraption before it can be activated.

Vector is a three-stage Attack & Defend map, similar to Dustbowl, except a large ultra-sapper is required to capture each progressively fortified Control Point. Teamwork and coordination can be used to create an alternative means to victory other than brute force. Teammates can create a distraction long enough for the carrier to speed by and capture the point.  Just don't forget: the RED team can block enemy captures by standing on the Control Point.

Objective:
BLU wins by bringing the Sapper to all Control Points before the time runs out. RED wins by preventing all Control Points from being captured.

Other Notes:
RED can block captures by standing near the Point. Dropped Sappers returns to the Base after 60 seconds.

Whereas Beta 1 had a BLU win-rate of 25%, Beta 2 is now somewhere around 50%. Unfortunately, I've changed so much since beta 1 I don't have a changelog. The whole map seems almost new.

looks cool

But does it make a good A/D map? So far nothing has compared to Gravel Pit or Badwater in terms of balance

I would love to run this on NEKPED THURSDAYS

That looks pretty good.

Yea, very interesting.

Actually, during the alpha process, we found that the ADCTF gametype actually plays fairly well on low pops

It's a different experience, sure, but it doesn't throw the balance off as much as CP or PL.

good work on the video.

This looks pretty slick. I like the modification to the gameplay style.

We're playing this tonight for our Highlander, its gonna be awesome x1000. 

Looks cool. Maybe it'd end up working even better as a cp map
