nothing major, i just gave access to some previously out of bounds areas, removed some player clips for more freedom (you can stand on some roofs now), changed some decoration to be neutral colored instead of team colored, added a spawn for saxton and optimized some stuff.

edit: i also placed extra health and ammo packs
