Arctic Fighter Jets takes on a different type of CTF style. You can now fly to the enemy base in a Quantum Jet. It is just like the Strangelove modification except you can shoot missiles while flying. With 5 new weapons and the jet, is this map really worth it?
Gameplay with the bots is pretty horrible, the bots use the jets but not much and they are shot down easily. The weapons are nice, but the fun seemed to quickly dwindle and fizzle out. One thing that bugged me was that you couldn't grab the flag while in the jet, that would be a nice feature and would make things a bit more exciting and possibly more challenging. You can also go to the enemy base on foot, as 90% of the bots choose to do but it takes a lot longer, which puts more emphasis on using the jets. The new weapons were neat and enjoyable for a short time.
The map you play in is quite basic: Two bases with a central building, where you can get some weaponry if you choose to go on foot. There also two "sky-scrapers" which looked like something out of New York City. Texturing fits the feel and there are no errors to be seen. I must complain that the map is a bit smallish, but it will probably satisfy most.
Arctic Fighter Jets definitely gives a different form of CTF play. Most will enjoy it, while others will hate it and call it lame. It was fun for awhile but got old too quickly, bot play was substandard, but the weapons were nice. You will probably want to play this one for a bit, but it certainly isn't addicting.
