CTF-High (whose full name is High Towers) is a map appearing in Unreal Tournament. It comes with the Inoxx Bonus Pack.

Map description[]

It is a map with a similar concept to CTF-Face by the same author. It consists of two tall towers, with two bridges connecting them, and a zone at the bottom that kills anyone who falls off the towers—but that is where the similarities end. The map is set in a city, it features most of the game's weaponry (only lacking the Bio Rifle, Pulse Gun, and Redeemer), and each base has four floors and requires a lot of traveling to get to the flag, which is located on the fourth floor. The insides of the towers also have a series of teleporters and lifts leading to another floor at the uppermost level. On the fourth floor, at each side of the tower, there are four automatic minigun cannons, two per entrance, each with the intention of preventing escapers from returning with the flag to their bases.

The map makes heavy use of teleporters at each base for extra access to the top levels, with 16 in total:

  • A pair connecting the upper level below the roof of the tower with the first floor, next to the West (Red) or East (Blue) entrance to the bases.
  • A pair connecting the top of the tower with the first floor, next to the West (Red)/East (Blue) entrance to the bases.
  • Another pair connecting the upper level below the roof of the tower with the top of the tower.
  • Finally, a pair connecting the crane's lower level with its upper level.

The map is almost symmetric, though the item locations are the same, and there are no major differences between both towers, the architecture distribution is different on each side, which may lend to some base favoritism, but not too strong to favor one team or the other.

Tips and tricks[]

  • Much like Face, the key to this map is knowing when to get into the enemy base and where to make your entrance. It is not recommended to enter straight from the fourth floor due to the minigun cannons there. Without many snipers to worry about, your best bet may be to travel across the top of the crane, then teleport to the fourth floor from the top of the tower. Since the Shield Belt is not available on this map, you should only enter the enemy base after at least picking up the Armor and Big Keg O' Health. Your exit might be harsh and you'll definitely need some teammates to cover you.

Author's Notes[]

"After finishing my work on UT I realized most of the maps would be good for 10 players max. It's still decent with more players but I wanted to make something big enough to allow a lot of players without feeling to crowded so I made Crane, Kosov and High Towers. I think these maps will be playable with up to 32 players."
GamesWeb Interview[1]
"It's taking place in the same "City Environment" as Crane. Like the other Levels, it's big."
