CP relfection [working title] a6

Got enough white dev textures there bro?

Looks almost like a clean room!

The layout looks quite interesting, I can't wait to play it!

I have to say I'm liking the look of the layout here, perhaps with the last screeny as an exception

The layout looks nice, maybe just a bit to open and long for my tastes but a gameday will see. It probably wouldn't hurt to change some of the textures so players know what is where and whose side they are in. Also, change the floor texture to something else so the walls and floor don't blend in together.

Edit:
Had a quick run around, nothing really to complain about apart from the fact that it really needs signs, and you probably shouldn't block areas to only a few classes, either get rid of that roof or give players other ways to get up there. I also noticed a few places which might be a bit op for a sentry, but once again, only a gameday will tell

This seems pretty damn boring middle of tug-o-war payload map, look at pl_waste for example how Icarus made his
tug-o-war middle point.


Sightline


Make this normal doorway instead small hole you need to crouch to get trough.

Nice typo in the thread name

I like the look of the final points, but as everyone else has said, less white. Maybe make the walls of RED's side RED and Blu's side BLU, and the middle walls in grey, or white and the floor grey instead. Some areas do look a little sentry friendly, and some sightlines which may be an annoyance, but gameday will tell all.

Also, welcome!

walk-through vid maybe, it would help a lot.

other than that, let me see if I get this right, Red+Blue fight over the same cart, pushing it into the enemies base (blowing it up).

The whiteness is blinding. I would suggest having a separate dev textures for walls and floors, otherwise its kinda hard to judge distances. Beyond that, looks interesting other than the middle point, which doesn't seem all that exciting.

you mean A2

hehe

Can i suggest making the higher paths more obvious, i think two soldiers went onto the top level in the entire game, and i was the only person to use the top infiltration path. Maybe lowering them, or putting health/ammo near the edges to make it more obvious?

And capturing needs to give you more of an advantage. Generally, you reward teams for doing well, and penalise them for doing poorly. This helps magnify a teams advantage, and prevent stalemating. In 5-cp maps, each point is faster to capture than the last, and teams get forward spawns to reduce travel times, in hydro you get spawntime advantages the further the point is capped, in steel, the important point becomes a less and less defensible position. In this, doing well wins you a longer walk from spawn, a shorter walk for the team doing badly, and a layout that means with this huge imbalance in favour of the losers, the losers are also holding a defensible position.

Suggestions: Longer spawn times for losers, faster spawns, (or better, forward spawns), for winners. A One-way shortcut only the winning team can access? You need something like this.

[Derail] Does anyone think a map like this, but pulling a cart, not pushing it, would be interesting? Should stalemate less, since the better you do, the closer to spawn it is. [/Derail]

Can't get out of this forward spawn.(Though iirc the other team's forward spawn did work.

Rule 1. Don't trust okrag's memory.
