Catwalk - The only other map named "Catwalk" is a deleted trade map

A 2cp, 1 stage A/D map, set in a Powerhouse-like Red facility that is partially underground at night. It only has the first point for now, but I have the second one sketched out. Because Red spawns practically on the point, it's a little Red sided (maybe). It's my third map (second for TF2), so apologies if it sucks.

You seem to have a fairly good grasp on scaling in tf2. My only concern would be that a lot of your pathways seem very narrow and linear.

Thank you! My first map had quite inconsistent scaling, so that is one of my focuses for this. My pathways are probably too linear, but I tried to keep them wider (with one exception).

A new map compile always requires a new version number, even if you just stick an 'a' or a 'b' on the end of it. (e.g. a2a) This is because if anyone downloaded your map before you updated it, if they try to join a server running the updated version, they will get a map mismatch and the game will kick them off the server, rather than redownloading the map.

Would you mind reuploading the screenshots? They seem to have broken.

Not a lot of people seems to use that skybox. Also, the geometry is really interesting. Looking forward to play on Gameday sometime

Hey mecharon, quick thought video here of _a4, it's basically regurgitating what people were saying during the test but maybe in the context of more free-form thought it could be interesting to watch:

Edit: So give somewhere safer for RED to defend A from, and then give more distance between B and the top approach BLU gets to hit it. At the moment that last turn is so near to the RED defense balcony that they can easily corner the sentryguns there to get rid of them near instantly.

After a bit of a mapping hiatus, I've started up work again. Here's a WIP preview:
