Played it yesterday with around 10 people.

- It has massive FPS drops around bridge and stairs leading intel cave, might want to look at that.
- It is maybe even too easy to cap intel.
- Make water under the stairwells outside deeper so you can save yourself from a pyro.

This is all i can say from quite short playtest. (I certainly will play this more)

I'll take a look at it, I'll try and fix it with some lower fade distances.

I'll wait until more testing is done to determine that.

I'll definitely do this, cheers

Good to hear!

I capped 21 times yesterday - definitely too easy. I could just run back and forth between their intel and our intel, and on the way grab the medium health pack under the bridge so I didn't run out of health. Remove that healthpack and it'll be harder to cap that many times.

Detailing like hell to make the deadline for entries. A sneak peak for you all:

 

[grazr]

You should look into how DoD mappers create broken walls. Do you have DoDS? It would probably be worth looking at some of the vmf's if you do.

 

[Psy]

It's basically 2 brushes sandwiching a displacement. Mmm sandwich.

 

[zpqrei]

Oh yeah, I saw that's how the broken wall in CTF Aerospace. I'll see what I can do

The storm has cleared and it's a beautiful day!

 

[The Political Gamer]

You just can't pick a theme can you?

 

[zpqrei]

Never. Coming soon: Badlands theme.

 

[Gerbil]

The windows on the left building look a bit odd.

Good job

 

[Void]

Is the name supposed to fit?

This hasn't looked like Alaska since... um...

 

[lana]

Agreed. Alaska doesn't look this nice.

Alaska is beautiful in the summer:
