Maintenance Yard - Attempt at making a 5 CP

Maintenance Yard A1

This is the first time I've tried making 5 CP map. I really like how some areas are coming out though I need to fully develop / flesh out some areas as well. Though the map is built enough for a alpha one playtest. Hopefully the map feels balanced from both attacking and defend sides. I'm really excited to playtest it and see if the map works. There is a train hazard on one of the routes to the 2nd CP which should be fun to watch it get cheeky kills on players. You can also jump onto the train and ride it across a section of the map as well. (It's a working title for now..)View attachment 103557 View attachment 103558 View attachment 103559 View attachment 103560 View attachment 103561 View attachment 103562

- lowered height of nipple at mid
- Shorten length of cap zone at cap, so you can't cap on platform near point
- resigned a more direct route to mid that crosses train tracks
- removed flatcars at mid
- added no entry texture to forward spawn gates
- fixed train doors ~
- new flank that follows train path to 2nd and 3rd points (can only access when train is passing)
- new route for defenders to 2nd point.
- made left flank into last more open and added health and ammo packs
- made the door ways into last larger
- moved/added some health and ammo

During yesterday's playtest I noticed that the trains had a number of flat platform cars one after the other, allowing players to ride them to quickly get to the other side of the map. Unfortunately, the train goes too fast for this to be as useful as it could be.

I know you have the train acting as a hazard, so it has to move quickly, but if you could slow it down just a bit to make the platform cars more reliable that would be fantastic.

Thanks for the feedback! I've been thinking about reducing the speed. There has been about a 4 second window while the train is passing that players can jump onto the flatcars and hitch a ride across the map. So players need to react quickly for a high risk high reward flank. Though it can be awkward with the trains current speed and a short window of opportunity. I'll reduce the train's speed for the next version. Probably from 1024 to 896.

I'm hoping to see the freighthopping used to help flank against a strong defensive team. Help get picks, get behind to take down sentries, and even a coordinated team push after hopping off the train to all storming in all at once.

came back to work on this map after not touching it for several months. scrapped most of it though kept allot of the design of last and 2nd capture points. removed the train gimmick and worked on shortening the distance between points.
