Pure CTF is a new Blizzard Arcade game created by GameHeart. It is sort of a cross between a bullet hell and a moba. I have kept the design very simple so it is easy to get into. Here is a video demonstrating the type of micro gameplay you can expect to find.




And here is another video going over the game more in-depth.

This game is beyond awesome. I have played about 15 games so far.

The controls are incredibly simple to learn.

-Right click moves your guy
-Left click shoots your rockets. These can collide with other rockets, which negates both. One hit kills you.
-Q is Force Field, which blocks rockets and players alike.
-W is Blink, which you can do every 9 seconds. Use this to cover ground more quickly, dodge enemy fire, or surprise enemies to shoot them from a different angle.
-E is Grenade, which launches an arcing explosive that can go over Force Fields and over walls. The splash radius is not too big, but will also kill you in one hit if you are touched by it.
-R is Drop Flag. When you have the Flag, you move at half speed and can't use any abilities other than moving. Dropping the flag is key if you are being chased, as it becomes incredibly difficult to dodge the constant barrage of rockets they will be shooting at you. Drop the flag, dispose of your enemy, and then grab it again and make for your base.


It's simple to pick up and play, but there is a ton of control involved. I have had some pretty interesting duels with people, although not quite as good as the one in the OP.

The teleporter locations instantly reminded me of Blood Gulch. Might have to fire up SC again for this.

Spray and pray is pretty easily dealt with with force fields, grenades (since someone spamming rockets can't move) and movement. I find that against good opponents, I am more likely to get kills when I fire less rather than firing more.

Yeah against good players the combat usually becomes much more close range. Trying to get the jump on each other with a well placed blink.

I have an azerty keyboard so the keys for the casts are spread out, is there a way to fix it? I'm on windows 8.

Things to change:
1. Camera zoomed too far out
2. Shots travel too far (Shorten their length)
2. Make Grenades more visible
3. Map Length shortened slightly.
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

You can switch from azerty to qwerty with Alt + Maj..

This game is really good, fun to play, easy to learn. Exactly what Starcraft needed.

Small update: I have given you a 4 second invulnerability after you spawn to help deal with the spawn camping and griefing issues. I have also removed the kill notifications because they seemed to result in an increase in hostility and retaliation over friendly fire.

If you could some how include other maps in this that would be awesome.

Did you ever play elimination tourney in Wc3? I think you should play a couple games of that, it had some pretty cool ideas (It did go overboard with customization thou)
Stop browsing and do whatever it is you're supposed to do. TL will still be here when you get back

ChanmanV was playing this with ViBE, TempO, Sheth and LiviBee on Wednesday Night Sprites earlier. ViBE is really good. :x

Does the control scheme require you to select a target (click) for abilities (aside from rocket launch)? That's one of the the more/most annoying issue I've had with making games in SC2 editor.

The only way I'm aware of to do it without using click/target selection would be to use mouse tracking which as far as I know is just extremely laggy under SC2's engine.

Yes it requires you to click. I haven't actually found it to be an encumbrance though to be honest. I would think it would feel more unnatural to try to place a blink or a force field without clicking.

This game is really good, loving it in the 2 games I've played, but when someone leaves they still count, so it can be uneven teams in case some leaves, which is no fun, you should make it recognize when someone leaves so that it is like originally it was 2v3, 3v4, etc.

You *could* use a trigger that gets the unit's facing angle, problem is the forcefield or whatever would always be created at a set distance from the casting unit.

Played about 5 games last night with a group of 4, quite an awesome game =)

I don't know if it's a problem for 2v2 specifically or just having even skill level, but we had a lot of ties->sudden death (really embarrassing when you kill your teammate in SD with friendly fire btw ^^;; ).

But yeah, hella fun with blink+nades+ff! Also really like that the map is kinda big - felt weird at first but it was really nice that you needed to either have a solid plan or repeatedly outperform the other team to get to their flag, since one death wasn't enough to get you to their flag... Thanks for the awesome game =D

I am working on this. This and an AFK detection system are top priority for Pure CTF at the moment.

This looks extremely fun, can't wait to try it out. I am of the opinion that much game balance and design should hinge on the individual maps on which the game is played. Since you're using symmetrical balance for units and so far the map, I wonder how this game could be expanded to add non-mirrored maps that allow one team to overcome their theoretically slightly disadvantageous position while still retaining the quick Get In Get Out gameplay.
