I know you're probably not focusing on graphics right now, but in the future you might want to make it a little more snowy. Right now it's only sort of snowy, but if you're going to make this new theme you should go all-out. Especially since all the ice around the other capture points is strange when it's next to dirty half-thawed areas.
You might also consider replacing some of the plain compound walls or rock walls with dense trees. You could pack them together pretty thick with a skybox wall behind.
Played it with my dad a few days ago on one of the Calculated Chaos servers until someone sprayed a Hentai spray in the corner of my eye and I shimmied out to a different server. Awkward, you know?
Anyways, fun map. I love all the CPs and their locale. Plays great. Seems balanced although C was much harder to Cap.
Is the most recent playtests I've been joinint, it seems like blue captured C all the time. Yesterday was the first time I saw it being capped (Since alpha 20).
However, Canard PC's sats show a 1:1 win/loss ratio on glacier alpha 19, which is really nice.
I've run a19 a whole bunch on my server. It seemed like red had to hold a or b, because c was a losing battle most of the time, much easier than grave c, for example.
(i don't really mind that actually, and the response from my community on glacier has been really positive)
Thanks for hosting it!
A couple of questions;
How many players are usually on the server when glacier is tested?
Do you have regulars which are familiar with the map's layout?
When ever I get on our servers I put this one into play as we're considering into putting it into normal rotation. We've been getting around 28-32 people most of the time. We have a lot of regulars. Normally when we play it, it ususally comes up about 50-50 on the wins and losses. I love The Fort. Escpecially when I get a guy that's never played it into there and I hope out at the last second.
I'm not sure what to do about the fort for the beta/rc/final versions. It's not really good to have things like that in a serious map, but people really like it.
Might have to make it into a harmless space that looks more natural instead.
