Description

The Hix map is a completely symmetric map with the bases in the center of the walls, two stories above the ground. Players can get to these bases through teleporters at the corners of the map, or from three boxes, one on each side of the base half way between it and the teleporters and from one box in front of the base. Boxes and pyramids laid out across the map make for great ricochet moves to catch opponents by surprise.

Leagues

The Hix map is used in the Games United League as a 2 vs 2 map with the red and the purple bases used and is used in the 1vs1 league in it's FFA form

CTF Strategies

On the Hix map in its 2 team form, flags should be placed either behind a teleporter or against the box half way between the teleporter and the base. These two spots make it easy to kill opponents trying to grab your flag. In its 4 team form, flags should be left on the base or on the box behind the base.

Other forms

The map can be found in other forms besides FFA, 2 team CTF, and 4 team CTF. Some servers use the map in a rabbit chase format, a Hold the Flag (HTF) format using an HTF plug-in, and a king of the Hill format.
