Australis

[Freyja]

Presenting to you,

A remake of everyones favourite terrible map!

It's not a perfect replica, in fact, its not even close. However, I tried to keep the general feeling of each stage similar to the old map, however, the progression is now more logical. The final point is very climatical compared to the old one, and the map builds up to it.

Known Issues:

Window on final red spawn is very glitchy.

Just ran around in it and I must say it looks sweeeeeeet! Especially 3-2!

 

[Repel]

Screenshots won't load for me.

 

[Psy]

Those giant deathpits look like they'll be annoying as hell, especially with airblasting pyros and sentries spammed everywhere.

 

[Freyja]

Its true about air blasts, but sentries not so much. No entrances come out near the cliff edge, so a sentry would be hard to place to push you off

And the screenshots work for me

 

[Psy]

Well, that's fine but I'd still place some pillars around the edges to make it a little more difficult and also to provide support for the cave.

 

[FiLi]

I really want to play this. It looks great. A little more warning on the deathpits could help.

Add a fence or something here so we know we can't go past the truck.

 

[redcommunism]

looks interesting. Add some more boundaries so there arent so many open spaces. otherwise, i cant wait to play this one.

I wouldve played this last night if it werent for me laying down while I compiled and fell asleep :/ I look forward to playing it today. Also deathpits make me sad

 

[Freyja]

The deathpits are only in stage 3, and deathpits arn't always bad.

 

[Flame]

The deathpits are only in stage 3, and deathpits arn't always bad.

but they are never good

 

[Leminnes]

Put some railings on dose deathpits! Make it so pyros have to work to push people off.

I found some clipping issues:

Also, this sightline might be a problem; we'll see how it plays out though.

I only came in for a bit of the last stage, but I feel that the pit next to the first point needs to be more obvious. As you were there, you saw that loads of people were jumping off, thinking they would run in to a clip. It was like a lemming migration.

I think that you should put some cover between 3-1 and the atrium that precedes it out of spawn. A single sentry from that balcony should be able to cover the point, but not all the approaches to it.

 

[cyked]

seba, im loving your gunboat skin on the soldier. that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen someone use.

 

[Harribo]

there a slight hole in the floor in front of blue spawn in 2-1 at the bottom of wooden door frame, the one infront of the 2 shutter doors.

Also people shadows were coming through the wall behind point 1-1

and i'd say the sight line over the water from points 2-1 to 2-2 is too long, sniper was dominating the left route to 2-2

 

[Penguin]

In stage 2, BLU can exit spawn on the wrong side of the map. IE, the already capped side.

Aly I've just got to say that you've put so much work into this, I really appreciate the efforts you've made and I will most definitely give it a good run through. I can't wait to see how this progresses!

 

[Penguin]

second stage made me think spillway.
