Also check out Mega Ramp. SykoOne has taken this map and converted it into a great race track.

Description:
La Rampa could easily be mistaken for a "toy map", which it is, but there are totally viable competative games involved.

new: There are now two gametypes.

DDK is a team King of the Hill game that requires players to succesfully ramp vehicles through the field goal uprights to score. It's 10 points for each ramp and 1 point for each kill, going to 100. Field goal scores are multiplied by the number of occupants in the vehicle, so if you bring a full Hog, it's 30 points.

DD VIP is a one-sided asymmetrical version. Making use of the ability to spawn idems according to game symmetry, La Rampa Vista is quite differant from DDK (symmetrical) to DDV (asymmmetrical). Now, teams must take turns on the ramp like gentlemen. One team is allowed on the ramp, while the other team must try to thwart ramp attempts from the ground. Members of the scoring team must commit suicide (no penalty) to respawn at the ramp start area.

The map looks kind of sloppy in Forge because everything spawns, regardless of symmetry. Please keep this in mind.

The landing zone is spectacularly volitile, but suicides and betrayals are without penalty, so don't be afraid to stick the explosive landing.

I was asked to add a Ghost and a Chopper to the ramp, but these don't perform very well on the ramp. If anyone want to try them, it's too easy to put them up there yourself.

As you can see, the scoring zone is defensable, with a wide range of methods. It might be a good idea to bring someone to man that GAUSS.

This is the "menu". Get it?

The trick to stay on the ramp is to concentrate on keeping the reticule in the center of the ramp. The Goose is quite easy, the Hog is quite a bit harder.

Also remember to destroy the vehicle if you fall off the ramp or if it survives the landing in order to make it respawn back up top.

My absolute favorite game to play on this map called Bail-Out, but you have to keep score yourself. Big-time honor rules, but crazy fun.

Basically, you bail out of the vehicle right as you pass through the uprights and try to hit the landing zone with a rocket. I spent quite a few hours playing yesterday, laughing my ass off the whole time.
See scoring scheme, a few posts down.
