Like Spinning Plates is a medium-sized base-themed CTF map featuring evil lair's eighth texture set. The brushwork is simple but geometrically pleasing, and the level's overall ambiance is very q's the Core meets Threewave. Bots are typically dull, but that means nothing as they've always been useless in CTF. Framerates are great all over the place. The layout is an interesting one that has countless nooks and crannies to explore. Item placement is pretty well spot on, although I would have switched the PG with the LG so that base defenders would not have to travel very far to harness the ever-helpful close combat power of electricity. There are really no obvious bugs or defects to speak of, although a campsite for Rail Gunners loudly labeled Rail bitches stay here seemed tasteless to me.

All in all, Like Spinning Plates is a solid CTF map - standard fare in terms of botplay, but it looks like it would be great fun on a server or network so download it and give it a whirl.
