Unlike most other maps, CTF-ColaWars has a somewhat real-world concept for a base. Can you guess it? I thought so. Of course, Coke is red while Pepsi's blue, but the association's pretty much limited to posters and a couple vending machines on the respective bases' walls, which are admittedly pretty good, with bother modern and older adverts. Between the bases are some more generic 'Cola Wars(tm)' type adverts...Cliffy B as a space marine, ugh.

ColaWars has one main problem, and unfortunately it's fatal: the center area is laggy. I get framerates comparable to CTF-EpicBoy from the Bonus Packs. My uneducated suspicion is that the transparent textures along the top are killing it but I don't know; all I can say is that CTF-HallOfGiants had a lot more size for a lot better framerate. And with the author recommending up to 20 players, you'll need a pretty beefy rig to enjoy this map. In other news, the bots play fine but follow the same paths pretty obviously. Framerate aside, there's nothing else really wrong with it, architecture and texturing is smooth, and it flows well enough.

It's clear that a lot of work went into CTF-ColaWars, and I'd like to give it a better score than I did. If the framerate issues were fixed, I'd probably writing in a different tone right now, or better yet still playing the map ;)

I think this map is great! I didn't have any problems on my 400mHz PC, with only a voodoo 2 in it!!!!! None of those fancy Geforce or Voodoo 3 cards.

This map kicks ass.. I played with at a LAN party this past week, and we couldn't get enough of it. I wonder why it scored so low?? Must of just played single player with the bots? Its a great map for more than 1 person!!!!

I've played this map before, and at the LAN party tomorrow, we'll be playing it again. We'll bE DRINKING COKE WHILE WE DO IT... COKE GODDAMNIT. It should be interesting to pit the pepsi drinkers Vs. the Coke drinkers at the party

This map is a solid staple on the servers I play. The theme was executed wonderfully and the game play is fast open and deadly my favorite.

Figured i had to experience Cola Wars so i finally downloaded it. (the concept of pepsi vs. coke duking it out in ctf is groovy)...first off there's no level screenshot in the game, so who knows what the ideal player count/author etc. is, and it's just unprofessional, duuuh. Second of all it's one of the ugliest maps i've ever seen. I would say that this map is drab but i'd be giving it a complementt. Item placement consists of weapons dropped in the middle of the floor in strategic areas. Nothing interesting. I especially like the central area, where you have a shieldbelt, a health keg and a suit of armor all next to each other. And there are not enough posters in each base. The drink machines look too small. Not the epic map i had envisioned it being, but a 5 because it did take work and for the whole cola wars theme.

I played it on MR Roger's Server (MOZ) it was alright. Nothing special though. I mean- look- it's all mostly grey! Same- hallway-hallway-hallway-hallway-hallway- thing with a large area in the middle. In terms of cover- this map is even terrible!- No place to hide or cover up from enemy fire. Maps have to have some camper places. I think it's alright but could be better.

... lol... you people just won't learn to make a distintion between a good CTF map and a bad one... ever... Quit the crap about lag or iGib. This map has its age, but certain things in CTF play are timeless: - shitty flagrooms where most of the players respawn, and some dubious routes to said flagroom; - incredibly shitty "middle area" formed up essencially by long streches of running boredom with little-to-no-means to change Z-axis (or even X-axis for some areas), along with 'lost' pickups here and there; - BOT play that in a CTF play with humans helps to even teams - here pretty much the straightforward numb crap anybody with two fingers of forehead would have guessed by now. I can forgive the bland/sparce visual set, or even smile at the Pespi flag, but ColaWars just isn't a good CTF map. It simply isn't... AWE: 0.5 BUILD: 1 (fuckup didn't even bother with a screenshot) CAST: 0.5 = 2 - Fair rating, now and then...
