For the final, please make sure you playerclip ALL stairs. Doesn't matter if the steps are low; if you jump while running up a non-playerclipper staircase, you will jump straight up because you collide with the step in front of you.

For the sake of polish, you should use trims on all your doors. Floorplates too.

I forgot to take a screenshot of this next problem, but I'll try to describe the building. There's a building next to the final point, which is blue and houses on of RED's spawns. Earlier, you allowed people to go up there using a ladder on a bunch of crates (or something like that), but now you removed the ability to get up there. The crates are still there, though, making it look like you can barely make a crouch jump up to the blue building by using the crates. You should remove them so people won't just sit there and hump for no good reason.

I love the jumproute between the blue building that the muffin is talking about and the high defender ledge. Details like that makes the map fun to play for long time.

Another thing I remembered: Unless I'm mistaken (because I might be thinking of another map), you can stand on the...thing in the explosion crater. A trim of some sort. It should be playerclipped.

Old was better in my opinion. It's dark, which is cool for ambience, and generally bad for game play - since it's a spawn room and hence gameplay is not an issue, go for the dark version.

I like the old texture better.

The new one is just so generic... it totally does not give the same 'underground' base impression as the old one.

Old, though out of the both I'd much prefer the dirty Blu Badlands Concrete texture (the Blu, dirty concrete wall prominent on the Blu first point and forward spawn).

I like the change the wall looks good, much better defined, did you also change the lighting as well, I noticed the pipe in the back ground is better lit.

umm...is this the almost trivial difference in lighting we are comparing? as there is almost no difference...though the new one has pink in it <_<

Its a far from trivial change, the whole area is so much brighter, can't you tell? There's also the change in texture from the smooth concrete to the concrete blocks (same base texture though)

I've heard so many complaints from people that the intro area is too dark and that the wall texture is so bland its kinda a supprise to see anyone say otherwise :confused:

Oh, I hadn't really noticed the texture change. The new one looks more interesting then, yes. I still like the old lighting better.

The old one matched the ground texture better.

The complainers are usually the more vocal ones. Satisfied players usually don't say a word.

personally i think the ground is too bland, purely layed out concete looks boring
you could spice it up by sinking in a beam into the ground, so that visually, the ground gets broken down into several pieces



(sry,used the old screenshot for the quick manipulation, but you get the idea)
