Starfire is a successor to my other space map, ctf_facing_worlds (description and details here). Its gameplay is not exactly sophisticated, but also not regular. If you don't like it for its complicated flow, you might like the way it spins in Venus' orbit.

Gameplay:
Both teams spawn with either AUG, SG552 or Scout rifles and a random non-usp non-deagle pistol. They then have to use their jump platforms and the cover provided by the rotating satellite in the center to position themselves well enough to take effective shots - taking the north route gets you cover by the satellite but has the positional disadvantage of you standing in front of a bright background because of the rotating circles around the map. The southern route has this reversed.
There is no falling damage but slightly reduced gravity.

Additionally, there are 4 AWPs that you can only get by strafe jumping from one base extension to the other (somewhat visible on the left side of screenshot 4), which requires some effort and leaves you vulnerable in the air for about a second.

The textures used here are all made by Philip K, who made them available for free on his website. The 3D sky is custom made by me using NASA pictures.
