• Removed annoying rail

• Added trimp ramp

• New 3D skybox (will obviously change)

• Redid the bottom entrance into the lobby

• fences were adjusted to change up how the point was approached

• New cover added between the spawn and the control point
• Balcony is short
• Ramps to the point are easier to access

• Added small health near the balconies to make it more favorable for attackers while also making it attractive for defenders to jump up to

Now I'm going to respond to some feedback I got from the site.

• "teams should own their own point when they game starts"

Originally the map had this idea, but I disagree with this decision for several reasons. Having each point start uncapped makes each team split up into two sides, most of the time. It gives choice between players to either hold more defensively and capture, or blitzkrieg the other team before they cap their own. It's like a rock paper scissors game and hopefully the map reflects that in the best way possible.

• "capping is too soon"

I decided not to change the cap times in this version because I think that while they may be a little long, it makes the beginning of the game last much longer so players can make more decisions before they die and have to sit out. Generally it makes it feel like you're playing the map for longer, which is nice in arena.

That's about it, I hope you enjoy this version of the map!

• Added new cover to each side made of concrete that blocks a small sight
• Made the capture area more obvious
• Added speakers

• Redid the ramp to have less space on the edges
• Added a window above the sliding door to spam pills or other things at people on the other side

• Moved the health and ammo to inside of the lobby to make holding the cliff sightly less powerful and the health more accessible for defenders

• Rehauled the useless room to have a dropdown to the connector between spawn and the cliff. It has a sight to the window looking outdoors and should allow for some interesting plays
• Window now has glass to prevent a sightline being abused

• Added health and ammo to the spawns sliding door
• This should make the spawn room more appealing as a defense location

• ???

• Added areaportal optimization
• Raised the ceiling in the lobby
• other fixes I forgot about

• Added windows to each side to better show where the control point is

• Gave blue side more colored textures

• Control points start neutral until I can fix the issue where both teams capping doesn't win
