Some griefing possibilities you may want to fix in blue's first spawn

IMO, you should strap a spectate camera onto one of the eagles.

So far the blue team hasnt gotten past the 2nd point, or the first I cant remember. Its the one near the building. No team has gotten past it, its a bad choke point.

 

[Fearlezz]

It's a really bad choke point, Wait for B2, it will be out today.

 

[kankle_king]

Ditto to dontwannaname, same prob never got past that point. Map detail is great though!

Updated to Beta 2, download and enjoy!

Just a weird thing in the red spawn in their base:

 

[Bot190]

A reason for the fan being under the rocket could be to keep it cool. Red was having a hard time keeping the rocket cool with the engines running all the time. So they put a big powerful fan underneath it.

 

[Rootbeerz]

Nice work so far, but I don't know if it's just me, but B2 does seem a bit more laggier than B1 did. Be sure to fully optimize it for the next release.

Also, another small choke point is right after Point 3/C, there's a small ledge where you can stack up about 5 sentry guns. If all 5 guns are up with an engineer on each, it's nearly impossible for the cart to be pushed forward. I'd propose you make another ledge behind the rocks so you can look over and blow up the guns with sticky bombs and rockets.

I'll be uploading the map to our server shortly and we'll see how it goes with 24 people.

Great map

here comes my nitpicking
i kinda got the feeling, that the spawns are too far from the action and if the tele is down, i find myself running for ages
some parts of the plateaus in the starting sector are difficult to access, like, you have to use rocks as ramps... clip the rocks you use as ramp so the player can just walk up instead of trying to duckjump over this small obstacle

might have been clientside, but this door was always appearing shut to me, although i could go through (maybe you have 2 models there, but one isn´t bound to the func_door)

ok, this might sound stupid...
i just never used the exit down this stairway, because i didn´t see the stairway
i spawned, wondered why i´m staring at a wooden wall with no exit, turned around and took the other exit. make it more apperant that there is a way down, maybe some support-struckture, a railing, sth that breaks up the feeling that this is a wall and that there is actually a way

yeah, what is that?

these need better clipping or a redesign

as said, nitpicking
enjoyed the fan-party and the fantastic explosion , keep it up

I personnaly didn't play it, but the admin of the only servers I play on tried it.

There is still a big problem.
Changes made to point B are good. But after... It's all too open, and two good snipers can entirely block BLU's progression.
Moreover, if you fall in the water, it's impossible to get back on the bridge, you have to take the long way back.
This map looks good, but suffers from a bad balanced gameplay. I hope it will continue to improve.

Sorry for spelling and grammar mistakes, but I translated it from french, and I'm not good in english ^^

Anyway, looking forward to see the next versions of this map. The end is absolutely magnificent.

Random Brush in the final red spawn

People said they landed on the fuel line.


This guy was stuck here.


This would be a good area to open up, specifically around that jutting out rock formation.


Texture overlapping on this door frame.


Good fan is Good.


Random unexplained opening.


Displacment troubles for all of the next ones except the ramp, which you got stuck under
























Great map! I hope this helps!

 

[Psyphil]

Really nice map but it was hard to get a real idea of how balanced it was since everyone was playing at the fan all the time (including me).

thumbnail 1:
self-explanatory

thumbnail 2:
you can get stuck here

thumbnail 3:
after the explosion that part is floating in the air, it's nothing u really need to fix but that's ur decision

on the backside of this block there is visible nodraw

and last u shouldn't be able to build on the fan

EDIT: and the explosion is FREAKING EPIC! =D

Bad displacements here:

Some areas where you can't jump down from without losing health:

Annoying obstacles near the cart:

Where is the rest of the rocket? :O
The rest of the rocket is supposed to be on top of that piece. Try to raise your graphic and see if anything pop up up there.

That new version is really looking good. Here's a few minor things I saw on a quick observation:

Sorry, but you aren't changing the problems with this map. Played it last night, will most likely be the last time. :blushing: The defense has too much of an advantage, instead of changing the layout so it was easier to attack, you made RED spawn at the very end of the map. Overall I got positive feedback for looks, after the round everyone yelled at me for playing this bad map again. Don't mean to sound like a dick, sry. Good luck making changes if you choose to do so

 

[jpr]

Some say defense has too much of an advantage, others say blue never loses.
That's odd..
