That why around here we call Tf2 with bots Hippie Fortress 2: Rise of Hippies.
Because bots clearly are pacifists.

a10 up. Enjoy.

Changes:
a10 - god, what didn't I do?
- made the center look nicer/worked on its lighting
- metal piles on the side are now one way, but can be jumped up onto, also moved them close to the wall to prevent getting stuck
- removed clipping from the middle area around the point. You can jump over the doors and also rocket/stick to the point. I'm testing to see how this effects gameplay.
- added some more detail to the front yard
- clipped some places that needed it, and decliped underneath most of the plank ramps to help spies.
- redid side bridges to make them fit more with the theme

Hi!

Alright, so people have been playing a10 a bit today, and I'm pleased with the feedback I'm getting. But I have some questions for you, the player. For this version, I removed the brushes above the point, so you could crouch jump over them at the highest point and land in the middle. This also allowed for sticky/rocket jumping up onto the point. Even though I didn't see a lot of that during the testing I am curious:

1) What did you think about being able to jump over the doors. Was it helpful or hurtful
2) How do you feel about rocket jumpers/sticky jumpers being able to get up onto the point?

I'll reserve my thoughts about these until I hear some more feedback.

Also, I hate being serious, and this last part was serious. So have a cat:

Edit: also updated the release post with thanks/author info, etc.

Jumping over the doors was pretty uninteresting

I don't really think it did anything positive, but it did mean that the center route was less of a useful flank because it had more entrances. Plus the whole "players riding doors" issue

I say put the fence back

That's all I care about

Did you get those floating models :p

Also I never said this, but that construction pit in one of the outside areas of the map is super aesthetically pleasing.

The one with excavator and dumptruck in the middle of a framed building?

Taking large sized rocks and putting them into the skybox = one of my biggest pet peeves.
