the pickups are just intelligence boxes. also the damage rampup in the mindscape is really fast. if you enter it with just as econd left to go its a death sentence. and the voice changer sometimes plays a normal sounding voice instead of the robotic voice

the railings added to the mindscape that are meant to stop people from getting launched of when they jump into the mindscape has no collision.

the area under the entrance to the mindscape is missing its floor entirely.

the map doesnt have halloween mode enabled.

  • You can get out-of-bounds on the roof near the main entrance of RED to the main area
  • In BLU spawn the tray/table with the bushwacka and brain doesn't have any collision
  • All "referigorators" in the map have no collision letting players and buildings hide in them
  • There is a railing/walkway near RED spawn that can be built and walked on
  • You can sticky jump (using the basejumper) out-of-bounds of the "underworld" area of the map on both sides
  • In BLU spawn the ceiling lamp isnt connected to the chain :p

Just some minor stuff I missed... somehow
  • There are several displacements that arrent aligned correctly in the "Underworld" area near the center area (this is on both RED and BLU side)
  • RED's rails in the "Underworld" area is missing collision/clipbrush
  • One of the icons on the hud is missing

Anyway thats it, amazing looking map and good luck on getting it into this years Scream Fortress!

I checked out _b4b with about 10 people just to get some gut feedback responses.

1. About half the people found the voice over to be very annoying. I wasn't one of them, so I can't elaborate, unfortunately.
2. A little more relevant: the brain world capture zone caused some confusion. I had one player not grok what the white square lightning indicated, and multiple players run into the middle of the capture zone and get frustrated when they were teleported out.

I think the "teleporter as nonlethal hazard" idea is pretty neat, but I think it would be a good idea for it to be made more obvious somehow.

Overall, map looks great, and I like the way fights play out so far, in both the over and underworlds.
