PL Bastion a3

[Mr. Wimples]

Alright, here it is. Bastion; a Badwater-esque payload map complete with three cap points and a final magma-ey destination. The blu team pushes the cart up to a red stronghold on a remote volcanic island all the way to a pit of boiling magma. Possibly a minuscule percent more professional than my previous releases.

Glaring things that will be changed:
- Right now there isn't much spatial management in the water part of the map, I really didn't know how to handle water-filled areas in TF2, I may just avoid it entirely in a future release
-The opening area of the map is in need of major reworking, will get to that in A4. Supply the bulk of your feedback from the second point on if at all possible.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. :T

Seems very interesting and looks like it'll play well. I can't wait to see this on a Gameday

oh boy the particles for this baby are going to be so awesome

Doesn't look too large or overscaled, interesting idea/theme, can't wait to play it.

This is gunna look SOOO purdy when it's fully detailed.

That sounds kinda like you're expecting it to look good

Sure though, as soon as I get the layout problems ironed out.

I love the geometry on the 6th (and 4th) screenshot. Great use of height diferences and doorways/windows showing action.

One question: does the cart pass through screenshot 2?

Nope. That track section is purely aesthetic.

 

[Mr. Wimples]

Alright, gave it a quick update to A2. Hasn't been tested yet, but most of the issues I fixed shouldn't have been in A1 in the first place.

 

[Mr. Wimples]

New sexy door and a few updates coming. Expect a3 within the next few days.

 

[Mr. Wimples]

Ok, A3 is now ready for download. Screenshots are updated.

1. Mid-opening gate is awesome
2. Giant clear-glass visor @ last point RED spawn looks kind of odd
3. Water in front of first BLU spawn is too deep in my opinion

I !fb'd this, but i hate how several of the spawns require a drop-down from them. in some cases it seems nothing more than pointless, and i dont think any of them would matter if they had a staircase.

The door is cool, but i dont like how, after capturing the point, there's a bit of an awkward pause. Its like "What an awesome fight! Kill, kill, push da cart... pause.... wait... check watch... *cough*... KILL, KILL!" Bit of an odd moment. It isnt even good for building up ubers, since there's never a big defense behind it.

I think the door would look much better if it had multiple layers. Something like at 0:50 in this starcraft 2 trailer.

For some reasons in this map as RED I was spawning behind where Blue were pushing the cart.
- This shouldn't be happening throughout. - Spies have fun, everything else gets wrecked due to spam
Fix this and it should be a lot more fun to play..
