Description

The tileset this level uses is War Torn by Toxic Bunny. This is a fairly flat CTF level. I had two main goals I wanted to achieve with this level. The first was to make a level that is easy to be ambushed in. This is very true if you ever play in it, and you really need to be careful if you want to live. The second thing I wanted to do in this level was to make the higer areas of the level good to control. This also holds true.I reccomend this level for 4 players or under, but you can probably have 6.

This is yet another fun level created by EvilMike. It’s a good example of how a CTF should be made. Simple routes between each base on the bottom, good placement of the powerups, and a full energy carrot near the top make this a great level to play. The weapons were placed well and eye-candy is good. I like the music that’s been selected, and this level uses an underused custom tileset (extra points).

So if you haven’t downloaded it already, go download it now. Then go host it online and play it constantly.

Yet another action-packed quality level by EvilMike. This level while being small, acheieves the goal of Mike perfectly with the easy ambushing and fast play.

It’s always so hard to think up suggestions for the level since I always test Mike’s levels before he releases them, so this is great stuff.

This level is kind of small, but it uses the space surprisingly well. In each bottom corner is one of the two bases, but it still manages to make you work a bit to get from one to the other.
Above that is some platforms, which I’m pretty sure were placed with care. I don’t know about this “ambushing” bit, so it might be something, and it might be meaningless.
There are a few layer 3 bugs, but nothing major, really. The ammo placement is done well too. I had a little trouble “installing” it, but that was from clumsiness on my part, and Mike should not be blamed.
Oh.. and it looks good. Nothing to complain about in the eyecandy department.

Yup, another cool level by Mr. Evil Mike.

The level is small, you must play it with ± 3 vs. 3 or 4 vs. 4, not with too many, that makes it bad.. Eyecandy is very good, i see only lil’ Layer 3 bugs, but no things very interesting, like doors, or something.
Download? Why not?

This level is great. I played it before he released it, and I played it online today as well. Very nice job Mike. Keep up the good work. It may be a little small, but that’s okay, I don’t especially like large CTF levels.

Sorry, no installation rating this time because I got this level via autodownload off of EvilMike’s server.

INSTALLATION RATING: N/A

A great eyecandy effort by EvilMike. The lack of layer use is a bit conspicous, but I cannot find any blatant mistakes in the actual mapping itself. I’m also assuming the tileset is slightly limited, too.

EYECANDY: 2.6/3

Weapon and carrot balance is good, but not perfect. The navigation is great, although I did not find any secrets. The level overall is pretty well balanced with the fast routes near the bottom but powerups/carrots nearer to the top (which is also easy to control, which was one of Mike’s goals).

WEAPONS: 1.5/2
NAVIGATION/CARROTS: 3.5/4
SUBTOTAL: 5/6

This is great. You can tell you are playing a top-notch level when you playing this level.

OVERALLFEELING”: 0.9/1

This level exceeded my initial expectations with flying colors. This is definitely Mike’s masterpiece so far, and it therefore it serves as an ideal model that all CTF levels should live up to. I heartily reccomend this for download. Great job, Mike!

TOTAL SCORE: 8.5/10
ROUNDED SCORE: 8.5/10[This review has been edited by SteelTalon]

Hehe, I’ve played this for so long now, yet I have never downloaded it on J2o and haven’t even got the music. :-D Well, it’s time to change all that, because here’s my review.

Distopia is the greatest CTF lvl ever in my opinion. I just love it.

The eyecandy may be of very poor quality, but the gameplay rocks. There are basically two bases, both at the bottom. You can get to the oppositions base by going at the bottom, the middle, or the top, each being slower than the other (so the bottom is quickets and the top slowest) although quickest doesn’t always mean safest since it is very easy to protect both places.

Distopia has also many suckertubes in it making players able to zoom around quite fast but there are many places where you can camp so you’re not invincible against attack inside the tubes. Springs are no problem either, being always at the right place at the right moment. You can either use them to escape or to get someone taking suckertubes since springs are faster (I think). The only complaint I got is the green spring near the red base. If you hit the spring and you’re trying to score, then you have to wait a couple valuable seconds before you fall down. This makes you much more vulnerable and this also gives Spaz the edge.

Fortunately, Jazz has one significant advantage in Distopia. Once he reaches the higher places of the lvl, he can copter to every single place in the lvl and can also reach springs in the air while Spaz has to jmup down and go up again by suckertube.

The weapons placement in Distopia is great too. Unless it’s a laggy server, you won’t ever run out of ammo since the most important weapons, seeker and bouncers, are never more than a couple seconds away. The full energy carrot is also well placed, unless you only got one heart left because it’s also very easy to protect by camping.

Overall, an excellent CTF lvl with great gameplay and lots of different ideas can be used here. Download NOW.

An 8.7.

Cheers,

White Rabbit.

Ok, to start off my review

EYECANDY: It was well done, i saw few errors. There were some sucker semi-secrets in this level which made it interesting.GAMEPLAY: I liked the gameplay here, good platform positioning etc. PLACEMENT: It was ok, i kinda liked it and all, well it was good. OTHER: This CTF level which was made by EvilMike uses the wartorn tileset which was made by toxicbunny. Looking at the level i really must comment toxicbunny on his great tileset. i liked that sucker thing and how u placed the powerups and stuff, although the oneway above he seeker pu was placed to low andwhen i jump i accidentaly touch the oneway and go up which puts me in danger if anyoone is lurking above, and it causes me to lose more time and get a greater risk of the seekr pu being reached by someone else before me. I liked the eycandy of this level, i think it was well done. Although this level is 1 point below my maximum Rating for single levels, this is still a fun and interesting level made by EvilMike. I can tell lots of effort was put into this and it gets a big fat download reccomendation from me. Keep Making levels Mike, ur rivaling CelL in CTF! Keep at it and good job.

Now it is the best CTF level what I know. Ideal for 3v3 and more but not good for duels. Big and funny level. Blue team has better position than red… But it is only little bug in that very, very good level. AWESOME.
high download reccommendation[This review has been edited by Danyjel]

Ok, I re-edit this review.
Gameplay: Very Good. The gameplay rocks, there are several routes to get to the bases only there is some Spaz biasing on 2 places. First is to get the seeker PU without taking the spring. Second is to jump to the left without taking the sucker tube that leads to it at the place of the bouncer PU. The spring placement is very good, it’s just excellent gameplay.
Eye candy: Good/Very Good. It’s not perfect, but its well nicely done. Some good gates in the brick tiles or something and some other stuff such as ‘‘I was here’‘ at the bases. There could be more in some places, such as at the right base.
Pickup placement: Very Good. I havent seen many levels with that good as this, there is lots of ammo with the right forms. There are 3 PU`s, but I liked it when the Gun8 was a RF PU. The Full energy and Bouncer PU are at one place, while the seeker PU is under a green thing where you can shoot through.
Others: Host often: Yes, very often.
Download: Of course.
My Final rating isnt changed, it’s still a 9.[This review has been edited by da man]

My favorite level. I’m the one who has to overrate this time, but that’s probably because DX DC hasn’t reviewed this ;p Anyway, great flow, great layout… the best ever. The eyecandy is very good, and the ammo placement is very unique. In fact, it started a whole era of mass groups of ammo among CTF levels. Great level.
Host this often: You bet.
Download: Yes.

;/ This is an overplayed level, though i also play in it a lot. Though this level is quite proffesionally made, and nicely solid. There are a few tactics that can be learned easily here, but there aren’t too many: – Shooting bouncers down from the full NRG – Shooting RFs and/or peppermints to get people easily – Shooting through the bridge with seekers or bouncers – Shooting ammo through the suckertubes – Camping like an idiot – Shooting bouncers through walls Oh well, im sure i missed some, onto the review : Eyecandy : My rating : 7.0 Comments : The eyecandy isn’t something you notice when you look, at the level. It isn’t too original, but with what there is, it looks average. I would expect something waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better on a level played this much or rated that high. Placement : My Rating : 10.0 Comments : I’m not really good at rating ammo placement but i can say it is really good, the way the ammo is all seperate and not placed in a bad way. Layout : My Rating : 9.0 Comments : Again, i’m not a good reviewer, but i have to say the layout is nice and solid, and has tactics to it like CAMPING. Well, all the platforms or blocks in different ways or placement is good. Gameplay : My Rating : 8.5 Comments : The level is camping biased, and the suckertubes are irriatating in how you wait outside one and see someone come and then they get annihilated. Well, the rest is good though, because of the tactics though usually really popular levels have more, but i like it like this. OVERALL : Average Rating : 8.7 Learn From : Yes Host often : Yes but as overhosted as it is.

Not very good because tileset and level is not good i think
You can use better tileset for that level.
Then i think this level would be better
so 7.2 from me
