I also wanted to make it 'bouncier', to see how much juice could be squeezed out of the Quake 3 jumppad as a gameplay element without getting silly. One reason is that I was trying to have significant flag grabs happen more frequently on this map, and generally make it play faster. The end result doesn't play much like Troubled Waters. Having two dissimilar and non-crossing paths through the center then led to mirrored symmetry rather than rotational. I wanted to take that basic concept, remove one of the side paths, and add connectivity between the central jump path and the remaining side path. One of Troubled Waters' signature areas is a big jump over a central water-pit, with walkways on each side. It's probably difficult to tell, but one of my inspirations for this map was Troubled Waters (q3ctf2, my favorite of the CTF maps that shipped with Q3). If I could get a beta out quickly, and if it was accepted for Threewave, I'd have a resource for quality feedback and playtesting. but that got me thinking about starting a 'competition-sized' Q3CTF map. His answer was something along the lines of 'Not really, do you have anything one-fourth that size?' Which I didn't. When Michael 'Casey' Goodhead and the Threewave folks were looking for maps to release with their mod, I asked Casey if Titans would fit the bill. map source (industrialrevolution_source.zip).entire Threewave mod (threewave17.zip) 186 MB.
