Also, I didn't like the small building on the bridge, because players could stand on the roof. I got beaten quite a few times by a soldier on top of that building when he was randomly firing rockets on the floor and easily dodging mine.

if youre wasting rocket ammo trying to hit soldiers with clear height advantages youre playing soldier wrong.

next time rocket jump up there and knock him off...

leave the bridge as is.

The problem is that soldiers are pretty much the only class that can attack that position.

Clipping that roof off would eliminated the double sticky jump from one battlements to the other

Perhaps I can leave the structure as is, but tear up the roof a bit? Make it more difficult to maintain support up there?

 

[The Political Gamer]

Make the roof slanted so people on top are more vulnerable to attack and and can't use the flat roof's natural cover.

Slanted and torn up a bit ala Harvest could work out quite nice - both in gameplay and aesthetics!

All in favor... ?

 

[WastedMeerkat]

I.

 

[MangyCarface]

Don't tear it up, ruins the safety of that room

 

[Remnic]

Aye

Currently, the bridge has a slanted roof, with a few metal panels removed to stagger anyone above it. It won't be too hard to maintain a steady footing, if you look where you're going, that is.

I've tried to get some compiled shots last night, but a oh-so-greatly timed TF2 update raped my poor internet connection. I'll get some tonight.

Bridge Revision WIP

 

[Void]

Bump. Has to be some form of feedback from the past few tests!

Every time I play on this map, whether or not I win, I always have fun. The flow is pretty good from a scout's perspective. For criticism, I'd say do something to make it more difficult to set up sentries on the overlook right next to the spawns. Engineers can just spawn, turn around, and have a level three up that covers the whole room in about 30 seconds.

 

[Penguin]

Keep up the great work, private.

sorry for the hideous image quality, it's what i get for using mspaint and saving as a jpeg by accident

You have three GIGANTIC sightlines, one that extends really far into the base, one that covers the bridge entrance completely, and one that covers the other team's main exit. I don't know how to fix the blue sightline, but the two red sightlines can be fixed by closing the doorway that leads out of the base (you can't fix it from the bridge unless you wall off the entire bridge). There's probably more ways but it's all up to you.

 

[Shmitz]

Gave you my thoughts on the back "ledge" path in VMF format.

For the rest of the base, I think you could stand to punch a more direct hole between your "lobby" room and the intel room. There might be some visibility/optimization concerns to solve, but as it stands there is no single open path into the intel room. They are all a bit cramped and/or winding.

 

[Gerbil]

The map played really good. Though I think the intel rooms are too sentry-friendly. Might want to block some bits like under the ramp.

The door behind the spawn points is a bit hard to find since you need to turn around to see it. Not sure if you were aiming for this, but maybe you could move it to a more noticeable place.

Great job. Can't wait to see the final product
