Review
Reviewer THE ]V[ATTerminator Overall Score:  4/10 Date NC2 05-27-2000 This level is basically a conversion AS-HiSpeed to CTF. I'm only going to review the changes, and not the map as a whole. Lets look at what's new; The two flags A few new weapons and powerups A couple of additions to the AI That's basically it. A lot of the old assault stuff is still there though. For instance, the cockpit switch and the moving helicopter are still there. Another thing is that the level is very unbalanced. It's far easier to attack the blue "base" as it's inside a confined carriage, as opposed to the red team's "base", which is situated at the back of the train on the unloaded flatbed. This kind of setting has so much potential to make atmospheric levels. It wouldn't of been a crime to change around the carriages to balance out the level. The new weapons are placed well, especially the redeemer in the acid tank. The only way to get the redeemer, is to have full shield belt, and at least 60 health. This also means that the bots won't go for it. The new AI is very well implemented, but most of it was already in AS-HiSpeed, although the roof isn't used as much as I'd like to see. In conclusion, this level isn't very good, compared to a lot of other conversions that I've seen out there. My advice to Will would be to try again, but change the train layout around. For instance, make it symmetrical. You can actually get symmetrical trains, with a cockpit each end. Another good addition would be to maybe design a whole new carraige, as to not make the level seem like a cheap rip-off. I haven't included the new score table, as this level doesn't quite meet the criteria to have it. For example, to score the textures, I wouldn't be reviewing Will's work. CTF Freight Train is; AS-HiSpeed With a few new weapons and powerups With a couple of additions to the AI CTF Freight Train isn't; All Will's work A very good conversion Fair and balanced

And then everytime a flag is captured, there could be an earthquake like tremor has the train screeches to a halt and starts going on the opposite direction. Interesting idea though.
