Maybe in six months or a year Reflex will have a good variety of CTF maps (and no I'm not interested in fucking remakes!). One only need look to Toxikk to see what one map releases can do to a game. Love or hate it releasing a new mode with one map is a horrible idea. CTF only came out with one map, CTF-Monolith. I thought this would be what opened the flood gates for a larger player base. I was very hyped for the recent CTF mode in Reflex. It is great the developers have given the community such leeway in the project but it also feels like the developers have grown entirely dependent on the community as well. Reflex heavily depends on their community for content mainly maps but UI scripting is mostly a community affair too. So then what is the issue? Gameplay and content.Ī good example of how Reflex is lacking goes to the core of project. The graphics have taken a while to find their footing but even those now are quite excellent. I even get a solid 120+ FPS on my Geforce 560 ti.
Engine and technology wise I feel Reflex is doing quite well and have almost nothing to complain about. Yet it is hard not to be worried about Reflex one year in. It is in many ways the best hope to recapture the games I love in a modern form. Reflex has been on Steam for one year as of today. I always strive to look for good gameplay. I'm just covering some of my personal FPS history here to prove I'm not some gameplay ideologue. By that time I had gone back to QW TDM and Doom 2 CTF and those remained my staple FPS for a long time. I even played Q2 CTF a lot and enjoyed it thoroughly. Yet as is my nature I eventually over came the NQ's community attempt at brain washing the players and discovered QW is great.
In short the NQ community was very close minded and anti-QW. Even today if you go into CRMOD which is the major competitive mod for NQ and type in qwsucks in the console it responds back to you with various things such as, "Are you listening id?". When I first started Quake way back I was a NetQuaker (NQ).
I've always been open minded and on the look out for good gameplay.
