I am not that opposed to a 5cp version, but the second point would need some serious work for that to flow properly. The attackers have the high ground from every attack route and plenty of cover while the defenders need to pass through an open area. Defending that point is just a pain.

On a positive note, I like the additional ways to get through that room without being in the unavoidable sniper sightline of the previous version.

You could try moving the point closer to the defending spawn and add some cover facing away from the point.

The maps pretty fun by the way.

Lain and Oatmeal, those two areas I'm going to be keeping an eye on how they play. So far playtests haven't yielded much substance for how those areas play out. I have a vision for how final will play out and will try to keep to that, but if issues become apparent I'll be addressing them. For second, the fastest route which most classes will end up using feeds out into the low area. It feels fairly safe to say that it should not be too much of an issue for defenders to retake, but I'll be paying attention to how it really plays.

Does the surface of water really have those caustics on the underside? I thought that was the result of light projecting through water and onto something solid.

No not really but it got the point across and looked neat. Allowed me to be lazier since the effect was already there. Wind Waker did something similar so it's passable.

That's the thing: the map is on par with others when alone. But when populated, even I was getting worse than usual.

There's always 66 particle system activated. In some areas, the number goes up to 69. Is having that much particle system activated normal? It does not seem too great for optimization for me.

If you miss the second point now you really need to be more observant.

Made a few more minor changes.

Have you compared it to other maps? Cause I haven't even added any particle systems to the map. Hard to optimize what you haven't added!

Dustbowl has 88 particle system active at all time. I guess 66 is default.
At first, I thought the bubbles and the 'swimming pool effects' where all particle system. How did you create all the effects without using any particle systems?

Are these version numbers just totally random?
