Hi there. I suppose at least some of you will know about my numerous failed maps, for one reason or another. This however, I feel may be able to break the trend. Gewitter will be a 1 Stage, Attack and Defend map. Like Gorge. The theme will be a cross between the swamp theme, and a sawmill-alpine theme. I'm hoping to at least get this map to beta. Any criticisms you may have feel free to ball at me, tell me politely or "3P1CLY PWNZ M3" In game.

Things, I am looking for feedback for (as of a1)
  • Health and Ammo Placement
  • Health and Ammo Amounts
  • Choke Points
  • Open Areas
  • Sight Lines
  • General Layout

Thanks To:
A Boojum Snark - Gametype Library, Prefabs
The Swamp Team - Assets used in Gewitter
zpqrei - Doing Photoshop work for me (sig etc) while I don't have access to it.

The first control point looks VERY close to BLU spawn.

Seems very linear to the point of there being no viable alternative routes and the whole map is on a single flat plane by the looks of things.

Also, your first control point doesn't provide much cover for BLU.

The map played well but it had some problems. First of all you need to playerclip your roofs so that it is less demoman heaven. You also need to move spawn farther from point, it makes it too easy for engies and is also frustrating when you spawn right in the heat of battle.

Fix this.

Less important but still an annoyance.

Crazy ass sightline. Frustrating, especially for heavy.

  • Killed long sightlines on the way to cp2
