so what we have here is a bridge (not unlike the one on highway 17 actually)
a train bridge, with a train going over it (well not really, just an env shake and an ambient generic) infrequently.
red starts on the "land" side of the bridge, and blu is set up in the 1st support strut.
gameplaywise though, it's a symmetrical 3 tiered straight CTF.

set in early morning, there's mist from the water, and a nice sunrise.
So got on out there, cos it's the early scout that gets the intel!

You really are on a roll, aren't you, Ezekel?

It looks nice, I like the idea of it.

Are you aware that those white floor tiles below the intel are HL2 textures, though? They look pretty nasty.

Looks nice....

I think bridge maps are the best

i am aware that they are hl2 textures, but i didn't think they looked THAT off, and none of the tf2 textures really had quite the right look for that floor for me.
i guess it's something to consider changing though.


yeh, well this map, i did it over the weekend - it was supposed to be more of a time filler while i was waiting for feedback from roundhouse and trainsurfer.
i've got some scribbles down for some more maps, but i think end of march i'll prob slow down some so i don't get burned out.

There is something in tf2 that looks a lot like it

tile/tile_ceiling_001a (not dirty, but use overlays)

floor_tile_006a is exactly what you're looking for. You might have missed it because the preview image is all screwed up.

i tried it out just now, but it looks just a lil too clean. it makes the flag room have more of a bathroom feel to it
