Haven't tried this yet but just gonna say that I think the mid looks very cramped, you'd probably get destroyed by soldiers with so many close walls together. But I haven't tried it so I might be wrong

 

[DrSquishy]

This update brings:
*A much higher skybox - not not cramped for soldiers and such
*Reworked respawn times - should be much faster now
*Changed the location of Blu's spawn points so Red doesn't have a direct view of them
*Removed trench under first, made sewer tunnel into a short 1 way with a full healthkit and an ammopack
*Reworked stream area, now deep enough to extinguish players
*Added a side route to allow access to final's area with a different route
*Added a raised block so classes can jump to the sniper cover area there
*Changed the orientation of one of the exits into last
*Also removed the stairs up to the sniper cover area, replaced it with walkway onto a raised roof
*Removed the rock in that area
*Blocked off one of the routes round to the back building's stairs
*Removed the god forsaken shutter doors!
*Added a wall dividing a staircase to block a resulting sightline

As always, all and any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Oh dear, I appear to have forgotten clipping. I'll release a small update with that and functioning deathpits soon. Sorry about that!

 

[DrSquishy]

This update brings:
*Enabled clipping brushes
*Made sure deathpits work
*Moved 1 way door forward a bit, so players aren't confused by it as much

That's all this small update brings! As always, all and any feedback is greatly appreciated!

This large update brings:
*Reworked last (again!)
*Also added a new flank route going round the side of it, to hopefully give attackers more of a chance
*Added some more cover around the point
*Changed parts of the reservoir
*Added visible slopes at the side, so not just a random clip ramp
*Stretched out side of 'shed' side building to work with the new flank, as well as to give another area to get up on
*Removed raised 'platform' to reduce height difference in the CP1 -> reservoir connector
*Remade building interior of the CP1 -> reservoir connector
*Now has two distinct routes, and the rooms are a bit more open. There is also much less height difference, so Blu should be able to push through much more easily.
*Changed the location of some of the doors to spread them apart further and to help kill that horrific sightline
*Removed and remade the area leading up to the raised ledge next to CP1
*Added new way to get up to Blu's roof area
*Made the area much more open. Hopefully this stops gameplay in that area being so cramped and more fluid
*Added boxes next to the CP1 platform so crouch jumping is no longer required to get up
*Moved Blu's roof back a bit to give more space in front of the capture point
*Flipped the direction of the stairs leading up to the other roof, is much smoother to get up there now
*Lowered the window ledges so jumping is no longer required on Blu's roof to get in the windows
*Added a new out-of-the-way flank connecting the first area with CP1's area, giving spies much more of a chance to go around. This also leads almost directly to the flipped staircase, giving Blu a much better chance of getting high ground against defenders
*Remade first area -> CP1's connector
*Removed the useless healthpack dead-end, now a small side room with a medium pickup set
*Enlarged one of the entrances to the building (Blu's side)
*Moved the other round into a direct way to the staircase for Blu's roof and added a 1 way door to connect that with the main inner area
*Fixed Blu spawn's bodged visualiser (I hope)
*Added flank entrance off to the side to give spies and other team players a chance to get behind
*Reduced Blu's and Red's spawn times slightly

Huge thanks to everyone who playtested the most recent version!

This update brings:
*I've rotated the whole 2nd end of the map, giving Blu a shorter travel distance to the 2nd cap point. The map is probably going to play pretty badly now but might as well see.

As always, all and any feedback is appreciated greatly!

[DrSquishy]

main thing about this map that sticks out to me is that there really aren't any major open spaces, and that makes it kind of hard to read the overall structure of the map. consider gorge: there's blue spawn, an open lot with some stuff in it, a building that runs the length of the map, another open area with A in it, and then the building with B in it. that's pretty easy to understand because when you're in one of the open areas, you can tell what's a major element (the big buildings) and what the small elements are (a crate, a small shed, etc) and you can stand far enough back from the major elements to see them in their entirety. with this map, everything is more or less the same height and its pressed right up against my face all the time, so i can't tell what the major and minor elements are, and i get lost.

other thing is blue has a hard time pushing into B, which i think is because of how easily red can get to their doorways and lock them down. i can think about this more later but i gotta get back to testing

 

[DrSquishy]

This update brings:
*Added a raised exit to Blu's spawn, to give them some height advantage
*Cut off top area of the side-roof next to first and pulled the building back, giving the area more space and a more open feel
*Pulled back and widened the raised ledge next to first, and rotated the ramp
*Remade connecting building between CP1 and 2, seperating it into two distinct areas with more space for gameplay
*Added cover and a ramp on the shed roof for Blu, as well as added cover and removed the block. This should give them a stronger foothold there so they don't need to be pushed back and camped so easily
*Widened out area at CP2 by shifting some ground around and removing a piece of cover
*Cut the final choke building into 2 and added some high ground in the form of a roof around it.
*Moved the point very slightly
*Changed some health and ammo pack sizes

As always, all and any feedback is greatly appreciated!
