It's entertaining to run around in even without any players. Some large curved walls even lend themselves to rocket-wall-jumping to zip around corners in a flash. In addition, the map is comfortably open, which combined with the aforementioned verticality is a haven for passionate rocket jumpers, as in Clan Arena you take no self-inflicted damage, so moving about with rocket jumps becomes the primary mode of transportation, and having open spaces along with good height variation is conducive to a rocket jump-friendly environment. There is quite a bit of vertical action, with plenty of height between floors and some areas even having 4 or more different levels across the Z-axis.

Well, from a Clan Arena perspective, this map ticks all the right boxes in terms of layout and design. Players have fallen in love with this map, but why is that the case?

Browse through the Gaming Movie Database on YouTube and you can find a few demos featuring real players bouncing around like crazy and dishing out devastation with a full arsenal of weapons, such as this Clan Arena match from 2018 or this no-items Freeze Tag game from 2020. So what makes it so special? As it turns out, Fly on Rocket has been a rather popular standalone map for no-items game modes like Clan Arena. It's aesthetically basic, it has meagre item placement, and it has no bot file on its own, though I've whipped up a botfile for this map that you can download as a separate file. At first glance, Fly on Rocket is a pretty unassuming map.
