Let me further explain. We know that a little bit before steam launch, (don't remember exactly when) there were a few things pointing toward capture the flag coming out. We found from looking through config and info files, that there was a new game mode added into them, CTF (and I think there was one reference somewhere stating capture the flag in full, but I could be wrong on that, but the gamemode ctf was definitely in the files).

 

So my question is, do you know how complete CTF was?

 

As to the second part, I can't find it again, but there was a imgur album that someone had ripped some images from the game files, to where there was at least 2 maps I remember that haven't been released. One of them being a moon map, and another just showing stuff that looked like highway on ramps. These were what appeared to be just the loading screens for them. I was just curious if you guys know if there were anything more then just these loading screens. 

 

I should note that the authenticity of this album seems legit, since it also had the loading screens of a very vegetative map that was actually released (last eco).

 

I know that it's early to get on the new content being added train, since you guys are still just going through all that is hawken, but it'd be cool to know what was there, even if it wasn't released.

 

(to be quite honest, I was really hoping that hawken would have been open sourced, so I could have mucked around with it. Would have been fun to try and finish the incomplete maps and added new game modes and such. That said, you seem to be quite ready for the undertaking that is hawken, so, I wish you luck with it :D)

I thought ADH's position was that there would never, ever be a CTF mode implemented and that open-source was impossible (due to too many sources of investment).

 

EDIT: Apparently ADH went back on the the CTF a few updates before the silence, my bad.

I thought I remember someone in somebody's stream chat talked about a ctf play test that happened. Don't remember who though

I wouldn't place CTF as -too- high priority. Personally I feel the current game-modes are quite good, we just need more map variety on them.

Well, I wasn't expecting any of it to be put in place. I was simply curious as to how far along it was before the silence (that's going to be my name for that time period).

 

I'm not expecting any bits of what I was talking about to be put in place, otherwise I'd have put it in the suggestion subforum instead of general.
