Well, it's only been a year, moves to three countries and a complete visual overhaul, but Great Heights B3 is finally here! It feels incredibly weird also!

Still much work remains, primarily in Round 3 - but happy to say that from here on out it's only detailing - no more major structure changes (gameplay changes/balances yes - but no theme overhauls!)

Big thanks to Flubber from CPC and his community for constant testing and French Feedback ;)

Hope you guys enjoy it! I promise B4 won't be another year :)

Wait can you still win the first round on RED by turtling on top of the freight cars with sentries? I like the map otherwise. Hope to see it on a gameday.

Great map that I always remembered, I've wondered many times of its fate.

I'm happy that you're sticking with it, this map was epic on a scale that very few others attempted and I can't wait to see it completed.

Pretty sure I've seen previous versions but don't remember ever playing it. Still, it looks great and I might join in if you get in gameday soon. In the last screenshot I can see the metal beam has an invisible surface at the bottom. Might not be very noticeable ingame but it seems to really stand out to me in that screenshot.

Naming reminds me of that song from Postal Service

Yep, thought of making a montage with the heavy up high and lonely :) But to Iron and Wine's rendition

Bleh, this version seems too slow to me. D:

The water in stage 2 is definitely a choke point for us as well.

Also would like to see the alternate route near the end of stage 2 advertised more. Most players on Blu are not aware of it.

You removed the ice in stage 2?!

Yeah, Valves snow theme wasn't out at the time I decided to redo it in Alpine. The resources I had available for a true snow theme before were minimal, so I made the call to get rid of it.

Yeah, noticed that not long after uploading, it had been a year since doing it last time! ;)

Just played the map for the first time this week. I really enjoyed it and it looks great. I can tell a lot of hard work has gone into this and it's something you should be proud of.

I noticed a couple of overlapping textures and a small hole where the wall and floor meet on one of the lower tunnels (wish i would have taken screens now).

Good luck with the final.
