This was a map pack for the Ghosts of Onyx Non-DLC Contest. There is one competitive CTF game with two maps, and an infection game, but I chose to put this in Competitive because it has two competitive maps, and I wanted to stress the point that this is Non-Foundry.

Gametype: SnipeFlag v3 | Map: SF Epilogue | Map: SF Guardian

SnipeFlag is a long-time custom game classic in my parties. It varies greatly from the default CTF. Power weapons are removed from the map, and you will find an abundance of Carbines, BRs, Duals, and the occasional Mauler. You spawn with a Sniper Rifle, with infinite ammunition, and 110% speed.

Normally, CTF on small maps like Epilogue and more-so Guardian are extremely easy to capture. SnipeFlag encourages this fast-paced tempo by having no score restriction in a four minute round. There are four rounds, and your team tries to score as many caps as possible as the defence must demonstrate quick triggers. To make it harder on the defence, there is no flag returning or resetting. Unless a flag falls off the edge, if it's dropped, it's staying where it is.

The maps do not vary greatly, except for the weapon set. Each map has a custom powerup, which gives you 125% speed, active camo, and makes you resistant to headshots. They spawn every two minutes to help either force that last capture or to help the defence sneak up on the offense.

Finally, there is no radar, unless you have the flag. When you are the flag carrier, you have a one-hit beatdown, and allies-only radar. It is very normal for these games to end with a score of somewhere around 15-13.

Both maps play differently. Getting to the flag may be easier in Epilogue, considering the attackers can much more easily get to the custom powerup. However, the route back to the cap point is longer. In these ways, it is a bit more like "standard" CTF. Guardian is a bit for the more experienced players, and is a group favorite. It is a very difficult task to reach the flag in bottom blue, but once you have it, pass it up the lift and run to elbow for the capture. However, the custom powerup at Gold 3, plus multiple routes, makes battle spread throughout the map nicely.

Gametype: Infiltrate | Map: Inf. High Ground

Infiltrate is a unique Stronghold-type infectio that will have you leaping out of your seat. It was intended to revive classic, pure infection, and rival the old, repetitive Fat Kid and 300% speed, 1-shot zombies. The High Ground map gives you a network of connected buildings to hold down against the zombies, who intend to sabotage and infect you. There are many useful hidden weapons, such as a Fuel Rod gun, Power Drain (Which proves to be the best offensive weapon), Bubble Shield, Firebombs, and more. Nothing respawns except equipment.

Two zombies start each round by entering their ghosts (Otherwise they are slow). They are incredibly hard to kill, and will circle the bases looking for unfortunate prey. The zombies sometimes are known by their class, in which these are the hunters. It is advised to avoid these versatile tanks, and find safe ground. However, when infected, you are faster and weaker than normal (By a fair amount, 150% speed). These are the infiltrators who will flush out the campers. Pick your poison, because they are both coming for you. if you survive to be the last man, you deal much more damage than normal, however you have a waypoint.

Zombies do not have radar. It is a three-munite game. Having problems flushing out a camper? At 2:30, a single custom powerup will deploy. Picking it up gives you a three-second ability to pick up weapons. Specifically, the bubble shield and grenades at your feet. Use those to help your zombie brethren to seek out the campers.
