RoosTer Battleground 01

Hi, here is my first little speedball map to play 1v1 or 2v2.
It includes the source map file to help new mappers

[beta1] Only for Elimination.
[beta2] Added support for CTF and 1 flag

Cool!  A couple things:

1) You should release a map as beta first, and give the filename an appropriate file extension (ex: mymap_b1.bsp).  That way we can test it and, if there are any issues, you can make a _b2, etc. until everything is good, and we don't have multiple versions of the same filename floating around causing confusion.
2) Linux is case sensitive when it comes to filenames, so to avoid trouble, files should have entirely lowercase filenames.

I've renamed the file and we can give it a try on Social Saturday tomorrow and see how it goes.  I will warn you that elim-only maps don't tend to be very popular, so it might be worth considering adding a center flag or something.

Thanks for suggestions. I've tested the map earlier with some fellas at work, I feel its too little for oneflag or ctf. You can control the map with 3 or 4 jumps. I'm going to keep this in mind for the next map. Make it bigger and include more game modes
