Custom Team Fortress 2 Map
Vulture (cp_vulture_a4)
Alpha version 4 (Playtest version)
Made by Fredrik "MrMuffinMan" Johannessen

DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vulture is a Control Points map in the style of Valve's Dustbowl map. There are
three stages, and in all of them, BLU has to capture RED's two Control Points.
Winning one round means a score for BLU and the game advances to the next
round. If RED manages to defend for an entire round or if BLU wins all three,
the teams switch.

Programs used: Source SDK (Hammer Editor) and Pakrat

KNOWN ISSUES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You can get stuck on fences by BLU's second and third spawns.
- Signs that are supposed to disappear stick out of the ground afterwards.
- Area 1-1 needs to be vastly improved.
- The roof in 2-2 goes unused very often.
- There is no resupply locker in RED's final spawn. Sorry, I've completely
overlooked this!

If you would like to host this map on your server, please do so! Since it's
currently a test map, I'd be very happy to know how I can possibly get any
feedback from your hosting, or the IP address for your server, so I can see for
myself how people like it. Thank you in advance for any cooperation.
