Cool Update, We'll Waiting for Snakeman and Other Maps Updated.

Hey all you Mega Fans! We're back at it again with another V6C Newsletter!

I'm going to be doing this newsletter ever so slightly differently than the past ones, as in I'm going to show off a lot of things at once but hardly say any words about it. So let me do my rambling at the top of the post this time.

While a lot of our focus on these newsletters have been on the main maps, weapons, and items, there's still a whole subset of maps we don't really discuss much at all in any of these updates, the Capture the Flag maps. Capture the Flag has never been the most popular of modes in the game, and as such these maps usually fall to the wayside completely when it comes to updates. So for V6C, we did a rather comprehensive sweep of the CTF maps in order to just generally improve the quality of many of them.

Now that doesn't mean every single CTF map has changed drastically. A few got large changes, some got some smaller touchups, others focused more on updating the visuals, and others didn't really change at all. But instead of talking about all the changes, I'm simply going to show off some screenshots of some of the changes that will go into V6C.

I will NOT be showing off all the changes made to maps in this post though. So if a map doesn't show up here, that doesn't mean it's not getting anything in the release. I just don't want to show literally everything before the game releases.

Without further ado...

MMCTF03 - Melting Metal



MMCTF05 - Clockwork Factory



MMCTF08 - Edge of the Dam



MMCTF15 - Double Castle




MMCTF17 - Deserted City



MMCTF25 - Sky High Skirmish



And normally, that's where our CTF maps end, but you know what, I'll throw in one more as a treat.
Introducing...

MMCTF26 - Seasonal Shrines





That's all the pictures I have for you all for today! Remember, there's even more CTF changes than the ones listed here today, so make sure to keep an eye out for those when V6C releases! Though it's just going to be the one brand new CTF map, I hope you all enjoy it! It's very well done.

That's all for today's newsletter! We'll see you next time for some more V6C goodness! See you then!

We've updated the sounds and reduced their volume for V6C. Moving this to closed.

We've added this skin with some adjustments for V6C. Thanks!

All answers will be compiled, averaged out, and publicized except for username for the map creators to read.

As a bonus here is my map that I added as a bonus to the pack. Please do note that this map is not qualified to be a winner. The form is merely for my own growth and amusement. Regardless, I do hope you can take the time to fill it out.
